Common sense would tell you that water doesn’t spoil. So why is there an implied shelf life on bottled drinking water?

Here’s why:

  • The plastic bottles that drinking water is packaged in is porous enough to let surrounding smells and tastes penetrate through to the water inside.
  • Some jurisdictions require that all food or drink products be labeled with an expiration date of no longer than 2 years.

But that’s not all.  Here are a few more things I bet you didn’t realize about bottled drinking water…

 

Bottled Water vs Tap Water

There are many ways the bottled water scam is perpetuated.

For example, when the manufacturers of bottled drinking water use these types of labels:

  • Spring Water
  • Purified Water
  • Mineral Water

…you, the consumer, are being fooled into believing that you’re buying something better than what you could get right from your kitchen tap. But you’re not.

 

Fortunately, there are some great alternatives to buying bottled water:

  • Drink the safe drinking water that already exists at your tap.
  • Buy a home filtration system for your faucet or utilize the water filter that’s built into many refrigerators these days.
  • Harvest your own rain water by making a rain barrel.

 

Bottled drinking water is a huge marketing ploy designed to lighten your wallet, with the least amount of investment by the bottling companies.

The fact is when you buy bottled water, you’re not getting water that’s any better than the water that comes directly from your tap.

Plus, all of those plastic bottles are taking up space at the landfills!

One of my all-time favorite "hobbies" is cooking at home! I especially enjoy experimenting with new ingredients …and different types of cookware. My specialties are foods that are diabetic-friendly, keto-friendly, and low-carb. I share my favorite recipes and cooking tips here at The Fun Times Guide to Food.

About Us

LynnetteI love my kitchen... and I like to cook. But my #1 requirement is that recipes have fewer than 7 ingredients (or arrive on my doorstep via a food delivery service). My absolute favorite thing about being in the kitchen is trying out new gadgets, cookware, and storage containers! I'm SUPER organized in the kitchen (and everywhere else) and I have every gadget I could possibly need neatly and compactly tucked away until I need it. I share only the simplest recipes (which is great for people who don't like to cook), along with time-saving food tips and cooking tricks (that will save you time and money). When I'm not cooking, cleaning, or organizing my kitchen... you can find me at the corner of Good News & Fun Times as publisher of The Fun Times Guide (32 fun & helpful websites).
