do you drink bottled water? if so, look at this.

I heard something on NPR about this although it was related to canned foods not bottled water. Apparently there are two reasons.

First, people seem to feel more comfortable buying something if it has an expiration date.

Second, expiration dates mean more sales.

yeah, there are tons of things that never really expire, but they still have dates on them. Honey, twinkies, most canned food (good unless the can is rusted), pickles, etc. etc. And sometimes it's just because it won't taste as good, not that you will get sick and die if you eat it anyway.

I don't see how having a date means it causes cancer. there's no scientific proof of that at all, just BS from paranoid people.

the water breaks down due to oxidation... yeah thats it...

/really doesn't know.

It's not really a scam. It's expensive yes but it's the convenience that makes it worthwhile sometimes.

I use the little filter in the fridge. Not a big bottled water guy. I refill them to go to the gym.

Whatever marketing fuckhead came up with the idea of selling people water in a bottle, is a nutless waffleswaffleswaffleswaffles monkey and should BURN IN FUCKING HELL!!!!! I hate marketers, all they do is to try to decive people into buying WORTHLESS SHIT they dont need so some giant corporation can make money. There should be a hunting season for marketers and corporate executives. it is about time we declare open season on these pencil pushing, liars, crooks and thieves.

I can think of many great reasons to have bottled water so I would hardly call it worthless. As far as wanting someone to burn in hell for coming up with bottled water, well you are just retarded.

[Jand3rson]

I only drink bottled water when I'm not in Bend. Other than that, tap water for me!

This. The water here is AMAZING. Nothing like living on top of thousands of years of volcanic rock to purify the SHIT out of our water.

Anywhere else I go, the water tastes like ass. Ours is the best I've ever had.
