    The people who throw away leftovers after a day or two (or refuse to eat leftovers) are insane. They’re the same ones who won’t drink a bottle of water after its “expiration date”. Smell the thing. If it’s gross, get rid of it. Otherwise, it’s fine. I mean damn, people.

      The bottled water expiration date is not exactly because the water will go bad, instead it’s the bottle itself. After some time, the plastic starts to break down and leech into the water. Storing the bottles somewhere cool and dark will slow that process down though.

      That being said, if the seal isn’t broken, it’s not going to make you sick even if it’s well past the expiration date.

        To be fair, we don’t really know the health hazards of microplastics yet, so I wouldn’t want to become a case study in extreme exposure…

        Old bottled water also tastes terrible, so I wouldn’t drink it even if I were going to deny any danger. lol
