I was going to post in the What are some funny things you heard recently? thread but it hasn't been active since October so I opted to start a new one as opposed to resurrecting the old one. This, however, doesn't exactly count as something overhead, as I was directly involved, but... 🤷🏻♂️ We were picking up after the kids and throwing out old pop cans and whatnot. I grabbed a partially-consumed bottle of water and my wife said to throw it out because she didn't know how old it was. I said it was over fourteen-billion years old. Water doesn't really expire. After fourteen-billion years I think it's probably good for a few more days.

How was bottle water made billions of years ago? Obviously it wasn't bottled billions of years ago but the water is from over 14,000,000,000 years ago, during the formation of our solar system. Water isn't like man-made goods like potato chips or snack cakes. Water is just the same water it's been since the beginning of our world. Water doesn't expire.

The water doesn't expire but I think technically the bottle does.

I think the issue with the bottle is the water eventually starts leeching flavor from the plastic. Even then it's not technically bad, but just tastes off. Still, we're talking a great deal of time. In the US there's no legal limit to how old bottled water can be sold. It doesn't need to have an expiration date, and even if it's labeled with one and us beyond that date it can still legally be sold.
