If you drink expired bottled water, you’ll probably be fine. You might get a weird aftertaste. Maybe a little nausea if it’s really old.
But death by expired water? Not a thing. The real danger is dehydration from not drinking any water.
So go ahead. Crack open that ancient bottle from under your bed. Just sniff it first. If it smells like a swimming pool, toss it.
Cool experiment for your next boredom spiral
Get a fresh bottle and an old one. Do a blind taste test. You’ll be shocked at how different they are.
Old water tastes like a memory of plastic. Fresh water tastes like… nothing. Which is exactly what water should taste like.
This is the kind of science you can do in your kitchen, drunk on curiosity.
