Question

How come spring water is underground for thousands of years but when you buy a bottle it has a sell by date?

B

Answer 2

Because underground it is fresh,it flows around unlike being shut into a plastic bottle,and in a bottle it starts to taste really stale/plastic tasting after the sell by date.

(What I mean by stale,is that when you drink it,it makes your throat taste dry and funny.Especially since it's mixed with your saliva.)

Answer 3

In its natural state, water cannot go bad or lose its properties.

When it's collected, processed, and bottled, there will come a time when it will be no better for you than drinking tap.

Answer 4

Because underground it isn't shut into a plastic container.  The sell-by date is the date after which your water starts to taste like the bottle.
