haha.
I guess the plastic contains stuff that will dissolve into the water.
Also.. the trickling through the rocks continually cleanses the water. Once it is standing, microbes in the air slowly make it go stale. :) That's why you should never drink out of a pool of standing water, always from a running stream.

I think because when it is still in the ground it is always moving, once it is bottled aside from transportation it is relatively sitting still, I think there is also something to do with the bottle, possibly the natural minerals in the unprocessed water could have some effect on the bottle after a while. You also notice that the date is uaually minimum a year away or sometimes 2.

A sell by date also protects the company selling the water. A lot of products have sell by dates, but the product is safe to eat after that date. When I lived in Sri Lanka I got Nestle to donate their cereal when it was just over the sell by date (by a week or less) and give to charities. The food was still good and it feeds lots of people who would have very little to eat other wise

The water keeps pure by trickling thru the rocks, acting like a filter.
Once it is bottled, and not used, it builds algae and later, bacteria, which you do not want to ingest.

one word: INSURANCE. But the insurers do have a point - it's not sterile in the bottle and will go foosty. When it's down in the rocks it is actively being filtered so the bugs are being swept out.

As soon as people get hold of the stuff, it becomes contaminated and bacteria can grow in it.
What confuses me is why salt has a sell by date. Isn't that what you use to preserve things?

Still water (like thought) stagnates-it needs to flow to remain pure.ktf.x

I'm not sure but that's a good point.
