Speaking of water...  Sioux bought a bottle of Volvic a couple of days ago.  Being bored, she read the label:



What's so special about the bottle?  Will it contaminate other water? :-P

So why does mineral water, filtered through rock for thousands of years before you buy it have a bloody sell by date....?

Actually, there's a good reason for that.  It's to identify when it was bottled and can help in identifying batches of the supply.

If anything gets contaminated they can say to the public to return bottles with a certain sell/use by date on them.

I just want to know why the bottle is to be used exclusively for Volvic.  With all the talk of the environment, shouldn't we be allowed to re-use the bottles :-P

So, it works fine with trees, but what about people :-P
