Some will burst or leak, and they leach an unpleasant plastic taste into the water — especially in hot weather.

- cco 5y agoI change them out at the end of each year and use them to water plants. I'm very sure I'll not mind the plastic taste in an emergency situation :)
- teakettle42 5y agoThe datrex drinking water is rated for 5 years, and it tastes the same — like distilled water — 1 or 5 years in. It's nice to actually be want to drink it in a non-emergency situation if you just need some water.
