There’s a bottle of water that’s been sitting in a museum since 2019. It’s fine. Seriously, scientists have tested ancient water from wells and Roman aqueducts. It was drinkable.
So next time you find a forgotten bottle, thank your lucky stars. You’re not drinking poison. You’re drinking a little bit of adventure—and maybe a hint of plastic.
Go on. Be brave. Hydrate with confidence. Just maybe avoid the one that’s been baking in your car since 2017. That’s just disrespectful to taste buds.
