Bottled water doesn't go bad after 3 years... am I missing something

The water doesn’t go bad but the bottle becomes the problem. The plastic starts to erode into the water. But it should be fine for 2 years, supposedly, maybe longer if kept in a cold, dark place.

The irony of buying bottled water to avoid ingesting plastics.

I keep a few 2.5 gallon jugs of water and rotate them out each year when we go camping.

Yup I do the same, just with 1 gallon jugs. I also use them to water my plants.

Worked out well this week, at most water had been in the jugs for a week, so just poured it into my brita.

This true. I built an emergency food bin in Feb 2020 (I saw what was coming). We opened the water this past summer and it was AWFUL.

Glass jugs may be the way to go if possible.

Yes they should spread out disasters better so they can coordinate mass hoarding activities with inventory supply chains

Man I don’t know how to treat water, do I be real mean to it? And replacing every 6 months seems like a waste of money I think I’d rather wait til Godzilla attacks us next time and run out before y’all do

You have to neg it. Tell it you've had much more hydrating beverages and that you're not sure if you're even thirsty anyway.
