I can understand that milk,cheese,bread and beer can have expiring dates on their bottles and packets because they can decay after a while.
But why does water have an expiring date. Fungus dont grow on water do they...

organic water does no longer expire of route, yet then you actually will favor to have distilled and pasteurized water packed in a vacuum. common "purified" bottled water has residual micro organism in it and the little bubble of air contained in the bottle also. After a three hundred and sixty 5 days or so those would have prolonged and reason a flavor, somewhat than a well being probability.

Congrats - you have discovered one of the rip off tricks played on Americans by our government. If you throw away good things and buy new just because of that "date" then you are putting money in the economy. With all their hype about prescriptions, they still put dates to throw them away. They cost big bucks. Prescriptions up to 8 years old have been tested and every one found to be good. What a waste. I go by the date - when - absolutely never. I can tell if it is good or not and so can most everyone else. We don't need dates just to make some rich while lying and telling us we need them. Stupid is as stupid does.

water that stays too long in a bottle starts to eat up the chemicals from which the plastic bottle is made of.
also, as a few other people said, bacteria grows in still water. that's also why bottled water has the warning not to let it be exposed to direct sunlight.

Not to mention that water goes stale after a while.

I know! Especially as they usually say on bottle that it has been gushing down such and such mountain for thousands of years beforehand!

the plastic molecules start to mix in with the water, giving it a plasticy taste, plus your drinking plastic which isn't to healthy.
