Expired Bottled Water

RE: Expired Bottled Water Post By Hatim M (Guest Post) (10/05/2008) Does it matter? I have hundreds of expired bottled water (expired on Jan 2008). Shall I throw it? Report Spam or Abuse RE: Expired Bottled Water Post By J G (Guest Post) (08/31/2008) I've been sick this weekend, and I'm trying to figure out why. I started to feel flu like symptoms on Friday while reading a book for school. By the time 3pm came around I felt tired and worn out. I couldn't stand up without loosing my balance. So here I am on a Sunday night (about 730pm, the day before labor day 08) feeling slightly better. I still have a headache and muscles still feel a little weak but nothing like Friday or Saturday. While I'm sitting here drinking hot soup and freshly store bought water, it hits me. The first thing I did on Friday morning (after my usual morning duties) was make myself hot tea. I didn't want to use faucet water, so I went into the storage room where we have at least 5 cases of bottled water. not paying much attention to the expiration date obviously written on the bottle I grabbed a bottle, poured it in a tea cup and put it in the microwave for 3min. I drank it and began my day. I truly cannot find another explanation as to why I got sick in the first place. Maybe the fact that I live on a small island in Micronesia, and that the bottle was locally produced and bottled here doesn't seem to help. Either way I had a lame labor day weekend. The expiration date on the bottle was June 7th 2007. Today's date is the 31st of August 2008. Thank you.

I would assume if you are in a desert with no water it wouldn't matter, but every day I don't know. I get so freaky about dates, I would just give it to the cats or the plants! Report Spam or Abuse
