Have you ever taken a sip of water that just tasted… stale? That’s the biggest change you’ll notice. Expired water can pick up a flat, plastic-y, or even slightly bitter taste. It’s not dangerous, but it’s definitely not refreshing.
Picture this: you leave a glass of water out overnight. It’s fine, right? But it tastes different in the morning because it absorbed carbon dioxide from the air. Bottled water does the same thing, but way slower, inside the plastic. Fun fact: water stored in glass bottles actually lasts longer and tastes fresher because glass doesn’t interact with the water like plastic does.
