Why does mineral water that 'has trickled through mountains for centuries' have a 'use by' date?

Because its botteled, and if it stays in there orever, it could have a chemical reaction of some kind

coz it is not the same water.
in the mountains it is changing, and in the bottle it is not moving.

I like water

cos its not moving and water thats not moving goes stagnant

never-the-less it's still fairly ironic

water has a use by date?

My entire class got into an argument about "Does water have an expiration date? Why/why not?"
We're just... like that. We always ask stupid questions and spend hours trying to answer them.

beacause the people want u to buy more when it expires....damn crooks...

DN...thats cool its like Psychology or Humanities my psyc class has argumnets about things like that.

wouldnt it get moldy? if it stayed in the bottle!

SS as long as its closed it wont...it just might lose its taste

water has a taste?

I wish my high school had a psychology class. Uni may, but I haven't heard about it in a while.

well flavored water does...and water will have a taste when it goes bad, it will.... never mind

When water goes bad, it tastes bad.

yes when water becomes old it gets a funny taste like stagnate..it lose all its nutritional values

I've never actually tasted bad water, just warm water. Not good. How long does it take to go bad? And does it taste like the stagnant smell? I'm so confused. I need a psychologist.

i dont! but i like to swim in water!

the taste varies on the minerals in the local water... some tap water is more iron-y than others

ive tasted emergency water fromt the silver pouches, it tastes like metal liquid stuff....BLEH

dn it takes a while....because it is bottled and closed.

My tap water is just plain gross. And the water from the fridge dispenser is not much better. I used to like some kind of bottled water... Naya? Was that it?

i like the water out of ma sink!

Water tastes metallic to me when it's put in a metallic container.

cuz it gets ionized dn
