Appreciate Video! Apologies for butting in, I am interested in your opinion. Have you tried - Proutklarton Protecting Aqua Plan (google it)? It is a great one of a kind guide for getting prepared for a mega drought minus the normal expense. Ive heard some incredible things about it and my work colleague finally got amazing results with it.
Kudos for the video content! Excuse me for the intrusion, I am interested in your thoughts. Have you ever tried - Proutklarton Protecting Aqua Plan (just google it)? It is an awesome exclusive guide for getting prepared for a mega drought without the headache. Ive heard some great things about it and my good mate called Gray got excellent success with it.
Ikr. It's like they searched for a background music that matched the person explaining... Have you ever noticed how in horror movies the background music always matches how creepy the scene is? Fucking magic man.
Kalani Adams It's not awkward not having a status quo personality, he's probably just accustomed to being quiet because he can't have a stimulating (intellectual) chat with the average docile person you might meet in public.
Water is free, only stupid people buy bottled water, I'd rather walk a few blocks until I find a drinking water fountain, than to drop 1-3 buck on fucking water.
haha this guy is awesome. "I've got a lot of interesting things to say and maybe I'll just kinda... meh. maybe I'll tell you some of these things in a nonchalant way. like, hey, that's just the way it goes... if you kinda care about stuff"
I like his style as well. Too many vids (not just in the channel) have people who constantly talk with their hands and make faces as they over enunciate every 5th word that it starts to get annoying.
To each their own... If thats his style and it works for him then thats great! I just found it a bit dry. I imagined while watching what a few hours of him would be like. lol
+Warndog which means it went bad. for a food to go bad people assumes it just means "it decayed", but water is pretty simple, cannot go bad on its own, like you said it accumulates contaminates which is pretty much the same thing at the end of the day.
Yea that's true to a point. But then again, the water itself is fine and the contaminates can be extracted. In the end the actual water stays unchanged.
Warndog it does tho my water bottle was left on the side of my room half way filled for a month and I was thirsty and I open it it smells terrible I taste it it tastes like sink water X.X
Water's been here since the earth was made, so I'm pretty sure it won't go bad. We just clean it over and over again. Kind of weird knowing your water has been through ... everything.
Not once did he recommend water should be stored in glass or any other non plastic container. There are still ignorant people out there that need that information for optimum health including him.
+Peter Caulton Why recommend what is very difficult or impossible for people to do, when the risk being avoided is very negligible? I have never seen water in glass containers in the at stores where I live. While I haven't went shopping for any, I assume glass containers are expressive to buy and expensive to ship. More likely that not a plastic product is use to seal the jug or jar. Stored water for emergencies is hopefully for a short time use, and is essential, I feel it unreasonable to focus any hazards from plastic.
+waswestkan Really? I collect my drinking water from a natural spring and store it in empty wine bottles that have screw top lids. If you care about your health you can do that too. Glass is reusable and eco friendly. Tell your supermarket that you will no longer buy water in plastic bottles and call your local water authority and tell them to supply you with healthy drinkable water from your house supply or you will lower your contributions to their supply.
First of all, thank you for all of your incredible videos. I really mean that. BUT............ the one thing I wanted to REALLY know you touched on at the end but never fleshed it out. What happens, say, if you open a 16 ounce bottle of water, take a swig and then close it? What would be the shelf life in that scenario? Also, I guess you would have to take in consideration if the bottle was left out afterwards or put immediately into the refrigerator? Thank you!
Hey hey! Once you've put your mouth on a water bottle, there's going to be some saliva and bacteria in there. Even if you close it back up, the bacteria can start multiplying. Putting it in the fridge would help prevent them from growing. You probably wouldn't need to worry too much about drinking from this kind of thing either way -- it proooobably wouldn't make you sick. But it definitely wouldn't be as clean as a sealed bottle of water.
Since water sort of absorbs chemicals from plastics, how possible is it to absorb similar chemicals from the metal pipes in our water systems? In which case, which is more harmful, water stored in plastic bottles or water stored in metal pipes? Sidenote: Here in India, we have a tradition of storing water in Copper utensils overnight (at least) before consuming it (They say it is good for your body). When my mom came to know about it, she god a bunch of copper cans to drink water from.
I liked and subscribed all because you actually brought up the water leaching BPA, etc from the plastic. Thank you for not leaving the stuff out that matters ;)
Lets say you managed to create a glass container, fill it with water, and then seal it with more glass so the only way to open it would be to break it. Would that water ever develope a weird taste or "go bad"? Besides of course the glass shards when you break it.
Wrong. Water on earth constantly goes through a cleansing cycle of evaporation and condensation (simple folk call it rain). Still water can easily become dangerously contaminated.
Dan-Ari Feinberg But it never "spoils". You want contaminated water? Try drinking the toilet water that you just laid some personal mud in and see if you don't die a painful and horrible death with an awful taste in you mouth.
But you know when you leave water in a plastic bottle in a hot car? After a while it tastes really weird, something that you most likely don't want to drink. So whats going on there?
I think the most interesting fact about the water we drink is ..... that when we fill up a glass of it and drink it down ... we are drinking the very same water the Dinosaurs drank ( even the animals themselves as well as every human being is in that glass ) EVERY drop of water that ever was is still here today as water
Look up the water cycle. It rains down on the earth, it then flows to the rivers, part of it evaporates into the air, water from the oceans too evaporates into the atmosphere, it then condenses into clouds and fall again like rain.
Greetings. i have a question. You mentioned that water bottled in a plastic container is bad since the plastic diffuses into the water. would it be better if we store the water in a glass bottle? since glass does not diffuse as much as plastic? maybe in pottery? thank you for your kind attention.
Few people die from water dispensers in the millions of offices. We breathe contamination all the time. Fumes, spores, pollen, chemicals, dust, viruses and bacteria and dead cells. It's not that we shouldn't drink container water because of health, our bodies have defence mechanisms it is just the psychological ewww factor you talk about.
Aseptic water kept properly will stay aseptic… Septic water might become more OR less septic in any conditions… Drain water is either sceptic or toxic…
I know this is a very old video, but what happens if you say, refill a plastic 5L water bottle with filtered water, and then store that for 2-3years or so? Is the plastic contents more harmful? Would it be better to use metal containers?
Thomas Dank engine Yeah I was just wondering how long it could last in a plastic bottle, our water usually cuts out for no reason and then it's good to have a backup supply, but if it's going to be dangerous to store backup water in plastic I'll rather try and find glass containers
Remember, the bottle and the water are completely sterile when they place it in. If you say, drink from the bottle, lightly rinse it then refill it, there will be bacteria left and may go bad.
Very true, though it would be great to go a bit more into detail. Water doesn't go bad because whenever you think of things "going bad" you generally picture an apple or some leftovers getting moldy and gross. When organic material like that "goes bad" it's because it's being consumed by bacteria, yeast, and other teeny tiny things, which are actually breaking it down bit-by-bit and changing it on a microscopic level-- like yeast chewing up all the tiny sugars that make up the structure of that organic material. Water on the other hand, H2O, doesn't get consumed by microbes in this way. It's not comprised of organic matter, it's just a Hydrogen and 2 Oxygen atoms. It only SEEMS to "go bad" from our macroscopic perspective because what we see is a change in the entirety of the stuff in our container; observable changes like those that are happening thanks to dust flecks and hairs getting stuck to the surface, and the algae, mosquito larvae, etc. mentioned in this video. However, the actual individual microscopic bits of H2O doesn't get consumed and changed by bacteria, yeast, etc. as we see with organic compounds like sugars, proteins, starches, etc. which is how it differs. It helps to examine and understand what's going on when something "goes bad" in accordance with common parlance. ;) I was kinda hoping you guys would have explained it from this perspective, but great video nonetheless! I really hope you revisit this some day and give a more granular supplemental recap. :D
onion holders exist by the way. in the south most kitchens come equipped with what appears to be a small wooden two drawer dresser, one drawer is larger and holds potatoes, the other is larger and holds onions. The drawers are usually woodburned with labels for each.
My sister got food poisoning (can you call it that when you are talking about a liquid?) when she drank some water from a previously used bottle that had been standing in her room over the Christmas holidays. Because it was a previously used bottle it had bacteria in it, and the bacteria had multiplied and thrived in the water inside the bottle, making her sick when she drank it.
I used to think I was the most awkward individual on this planet, but after watching several videos of Josh Clark, I can positively say that I no longer hold that title.
I've a question leading on from your mention of ingesting plastic: has anybody ever done a study into how much plastic we ingest in our lives and what sort of damage it does to our bodies?
There was an interesting Austrian English-language documentary about this called Plastic Planet (2009). I warn you though, you might never want to have anything to do with plastic again...
Good question. We think this article might help answer it. www.popsci.com/scitech/article/2009-07/why-does-coke-glass-bottle-plastic-bottle-and-aluminum-can-taste-different
LOL this guy is hilarious. I wonder how many plastic particles I've got in me since I only like the taste of bottled water and thus only retrieve this vital "nutrient" from its industrially-packaged source.
So then is it healthier to re-fill your bottles from those little machines and drink it from your water jugs since it hasn't been sitting in the jug leaching the plastic for a long time?
2 problems. 1 I think they should mention that if water is left in a plastic bottle in a hot car in the summer it tastes super strongly of leeching plastic, and say how and why that happens. and 2 he says and figure out how to get the plastic out of your body later... I've never ever heard of anyone telling people how to get rid of plastic in one's body out of said body. Or if that's even possible, b/c certain toxins NEVER leave the body.
Just came back to my boarding house. Found my large water gallon on my water dispenser untouched. Swoosh some onto my glass, cold, no traces of mosquito or algae, no taste. Safe to assume that it's stored properly.
At my place of work, they provide free bottled water. Every bottle has an expiration date on it, we believed it was because the plastic leaking into the water over time. Sometimes some of the water bottles sit around for many years and it's best to not drink them at all. Yuck!
I'm On Kill Mode Tonight 1:37 "About as much as an equal amount of the same plastics in there".. I'm sorry but modern plastic bottles contain zero (soluble) plasticizer. So basically take the term "Brain" out of your name, you know nothing "Stuff- How stuff barely works"
I pour tap water into a bottle. Drink it and it's nice and fresh. Also cold. Seal the cap on and leave it next to the bed for about a week. Apart from being room temperature warm it has a weird flat taste. Like it's gone stagnant or lost all it's air or something
In Vietnam we have no idea of how works a plastic water bottle and the sunray... So we transport and stock everything in the sun... The water is just disgusting.
I know one time back in 4th grade, I left a bottle of water in my desk. I forgot about it until around the last week of school. It smelled like absolute shit lol
it is not the water in itself that goes bad, but it is the container that the water comes in that can cause the problems. Most water comes in thin clear plastic bottles which when exposed to heat can leak chemicals into the water. Air inside the container is filled with bacteria and that can cause some contamination of the water as well. So like it was said in the video, the water itself will never go bad, but it can be spoiled by outside factors such as air, bacteria and chemicals if they are allowed to get into the container itself. There are water products in cans on the market now that come with 30 and 50 year shelf lives and they are designed to prevent contamination from outside.
If this guy was any more laid back he'd fall over.
lmao!!

Tricia Caulfield
He's Totally your type, eh?
+DJ BIS Not in a dating sense - I never dated any of my teachers either ;p
His voice and style of explaining kinda matchup with the background music
Ikr. It's like they searched for a background music that matched the person explaining...
Have you ever noticed how in horror movies the background music always matches how creepy the scene is? Fucking magic man.
barizzy772 why do they have expiration dates on water?
He is literally Joe Pera from AdultSwim 😂
i love how awkward he is lol
Kalani Adams It's not awkward not having a status quo personality, he's probably just accustomed to being quiet because he can't have a stimulating (intellectual) chat with the average docile person you might meet in public.
Isn't that what awkward means? Lacking the ability to interact normally socially.
This guy is adorable. :-)
haha I'm not the only one who thought it!
ikr
That's what I thought too...
Kai Shadowninja ohhh hell noo yall fuckers gay... let me get off this channel
HA GAAAAAAAAY
I love it when this guy presents, he has such a chill demeanor and calming voice.
Why does it hurt to drink cold water?
What kind of hurt? Like, in your teeth? In your head? In your chest?
Maybe the nerves in your throat are a little extra-sensitive to temperature.
why does water burn coming out of my dick hole
you have to thaw it first
why does 100°C water burn my throat when i drink it?
This guy is hilarious, I love listening to him. He has such a dry humor
if you eat your arm do you have more muscle or less muscle
Less. Your body doesn't convert incoming nutrients into muscle efficiently enough to make up for the loss.
I love that question
So, you're telling me Jeepers Creepers isn't real?
less
it depends on which arm
why does 100°C water burn my throat when i drink it?
L3G. 100°C sounds like a hot temperature.
Hot = Burn
Water goes in through the throat hole.
Therefore, Hot + Water = Burn throat.
Indeed keep dat wata out a dat throat hole.
its already became a steam however.
Cyber Knight thank you! from now on i will only drink 99°C water! thanks for saving my throat!
Ninjaman17 so i can put 100°c water in all other holes?
this guys personality is like a box of crayons

I don't even know, and I'm a native one.
well whens the last time a box of crayons spoke to you
Josh is soooo laid back. Love it! Keep it up.
Am i the only one that thinks this dude is funny as shit hahaha
So if i put a bottle of water in a giant pool of soda itll dupe the flavor? Ill never have to buy more soda again :D
no
yeah but water is more expensive then soda. Makes you imagine the quality of the water in a coca, don't it ?
Austin Cain it would work if you poured the water into the soda, but then youd just have soda.
Water is free, only stupid people buy bottled water, I'd rather walk a few blocks until I find a drinking water fountain, than to drop 1-3 buck on fucking water.
iStrong if you're lucky enough to have a well, the it is "free". Just requires a small amount of electricity to run the pump.
i like this guy he doesn't try to be excited like the others hes more laid back
A breathe of fresh air.
video starts at 2:46
haha this guy is awesome. "I've got a lot of interesting things to say and maybe I'll just kinda... meh. maybe I'll tell you some of these things in a nonchalant way. like, hey, that's just the way it goes... if you kinda care about stuff"
Is it just me or is this guy adorable when he talks about science lol
Note to person in this video: Put some fucking energy into bro...
I actually like how laid back he is.

Thanks New Jersey for making me want an expiration date on my bottled water.
First of all, thank you for all of your incredible videos. I really mean that. BUT............ the one thing I wanted to REALLY know you touched on at the end but never fleshed it out.

Water has been around for an exponential amount of millennia. If it spoiled, we'd all be dead, or would've adapted to it.
That's a malapropism of exponential.
Wrong. Water on earth constantly goes through a cleansing cycle of evaporation and condensation (simple folk call it rain). Still water can easily become dangerously contaminated.
Dan-Ari Feinberg But it never "spoils". You want contaminated water? Try drinking the toilet water that you just laid some personal mud in and see if you don't die a painful and horrible death with an awful taste in you mouth.
Josh, u didn't mention something I recently read...to not leave bottled water in ur car to get HOT, it's unhealthy.
It's the leeching process sped up by heat. You'll just get cancer faster that way, so whatever.
Here in Germany the expiration date printed on a bottle is not the expiration date of the water, but the expiration date of the bottle itself
Does this mean that the safest way to store water is a closed, GLASS container?
Exactly. You can often taste the difference just drinking from glass too.
***** Also plastic releases estrogen... messes up men's hormones and makes alpha males into feminine males.
hehe, in germany we have also glass bottles :P
tehfutureawesome
Probably not estrogen. More likely some form of antiandrogen i'd imagine.
tehfutureawesome "Estrogen", well, iron my neck and call me Nancy, I never knew an lifeless bottle could produce sexual hormones.

But you know when you leave water in a plastic bottle in a hot car? After a while it tastes really weird, something that you most likely don't want to drink. So whats going on there?
probably just the plastics leaching(seeping) into the water like he said
I think that is the bacteria. Bacteria reproduce much faster under higher temperatures.
I think the most interesting fact about the water we drink is ..... that when we fill up a glass of it and drink it down ... we are drinking the very same water the Dinosaurs drank ( even the animals themselves as well as every human being is in that glass ) EVERY drop of water that ever was is still here today as water

So I'm a dinosaur? Seems like there are some holes in your theory. Water comes from the sky, you can't just recycle it *facepalm*
Look up the water cycle. It rains down on the earth, it then flows to the rivers, part of it evaporates into the air, water from the oceans too evaporates into the atmosphere, it then condenses into clouds and fall again like rain.

I heard someone said that water dispenser has lots of germs and people should drink boiled water instead of bottled water. Is it true?
We'll look into it! That sounds like a good topic for future episode.

This is why they call water the "universal solvent"
I'm always hearing about plastic.. But what about glass? I have a glass bottle, could I put water in there for a few years?
Well only if it is sealed shut. (Ik I am late by 4 years)
I would watch any video where this guy teaches stuff, I think.
Damn you, I just spent half an hour watching and clicking and watching and clicking and watching and clicking.
That's what I'm here for
He is adorably awkward. It reminds me of watching my husband teach...LOLOLOL!

Ever heard of glass bottles?
Alex Mc IKR
So... In the car in the full sun for 2 years is ok?
FoodOnCrack just do it
Leaving water out in the sun is how some people sterilize their water.
It works if the container doesn't leach. Best if also transparent.
My sister got food poisoning (can you call it that when you are talking about a liquid?) when she drank some water from a previously used bottle that had been standing in her room over the Christmas holidays.
Because it was a previously used bottle it had bacteria in it, and the bacteria had multiplied and thrived in the water inside the bottle, making her sick when she drank it.
He reminds me of Sandra Bullock, I guess it's the way he talks and somewhat his voice! Love this channel and the people!
my mom says not to drink an opened bottled water inside a hot/warm car?
why does she say that and is my mom right or wrong??
We'll look into it!
yeah i did watch but the difference is that an open water bottled is not exposed to any type of algae and etc..
The heat will cause some parts of the plastic to fall in to the water, and plastic is cancerous.
Vineeth Joseph the reason that bottled water left in heat smell weird is because the plastic melted and mixed with the water
OK.. i'm really too much of a nerd... time wise this video is 3:14.. lol NICE. And the subject of the video is also well done.

There was an interesting Austrian English-language documentary about this called Plastic Planet (2009). I warn you though, you might never want to have anything to do with plastic again...
Is it worth the extra money to store my water in glass containers?
absolutely . Like he said its hard to get those chemicals out of your system and every bottle leaks chemicals .

"...every PLASTIC bottle leaks chemicals."
yeah i think they got that
BrainStuff - HowStuffWorks so the leeching is the answer why for example coka cola tastes different/better in glass bottle vs can and plastic bottle?
Good question. We think this article might help answer it.

p.s. coke bottled in mexico is the best coke. ever.
+anivin or just coke bottled in every other country in the worst pretty much, most of us dont use high fructose corn syrup XP
Kigasho true
+Kigasho Coke and all sodas rot your teeth and gut and lead to diabetes.
LOL this guy is hilarious. I wonder how many plastic particles I've got in me since I only like the taste of bottled water and thus only retrieve this vital "nutrient" from its industrially-packaged source.
So then is it healthier to re-fill your bottles from those little machines and drink it from your water jugs since it hasn't been sitting in the jug leaching the plastic for a long time?
I swear I've heard this song in a game before hmm.... anyone know if that's true?
NecrosVideos Hmm i like that song but i want to know in what game you heard it.

LITTLE BIG PLANET!❤️
This guy a stoner?
"I'm not BUYING that." loooooool
2 problems. 1 I think they should mention that if water is left in a plastic bottle in a hot car in the summer it tastes super strongly of leeching plastic, and say how and why that happens. and 2 he says and figure out how to get the plastic out of your body later... I've never ever heard of anyone telling people how to get rid of plastic in one's body out of said body. Or if that's even possible, b/c certain toxins NEVER leave the body.
If you have a trouble of falling asleep. Just listen to this guy
I didn't know that water never went bad but never questioned that it went bad either.
Your voice is so calming.You could talk about fetish for 10 minutes and I wouldn't feel unsettled.
Just came back to my boarding house. Found my large water gallon on my water dispenser untouched.
Swoosh some onto my glass, cold, no traces of mosquito or algae, no taste. Safe to assume that it's stored properly.
Hi I'm Dr. Steve Brule!
At my place of work, they provide free bottled water. Every bottle has an expiration date on it, we believed it was because the plastic leaking into the water over time. Sometimes some of the water bottles sit around for many years and it's best to not drink them at all. Yuck!
Hey it's Josh Clark from StuffYouShouldKnow, awesome podcast right there.
So, the next time someone says to you "Hey, don't drink that expired bottled water". You waterboard them with it instead. And tell 'em Josh sent you.
What an odd ball. Love ya man
This dude cracks me up. Please explain more things, papi
i love the 8 ball imessage music in the back lol
Moral of the video: Nothing ever goes bad if it's stored properly.
I returned an expired water bottle once
I feel like a hustler
I'm On Kill Mode Tonight 1:37 "About as much as an equal amount of the same plastics in there".. I'm sorry but modern plastic bottles contain zero (soluble) plasticizer. So basically take the term "Brain" out of your name, you know nothing "Stuff- How stuff barely works"
haha this guy is so chilled. Love it.
I pour tap water into a bottle. Drink it and it's nice and fresh. Also cold. Seal the cap on and leave it next to the bed for about a week. Apart from being room temperature warm it has a weird flat taste. Like it's gone stagnant or lost all it's air or something
He should have mentioned that when you leave bottled water in the sun, it leaks the BPA into the water. Besides that, good vid.
This guy is so awkward.... I love it.
store water in glass bottles, way safer than plastic bottles. also boil and filter your tap water, then store it in a glass bottle.
Thanks for combatting stupidity.
What
In Vietnam we have no idea of how works a plastic water bottle and the sunray... So we transport and stock everything in the sun... The water is just disgusting.
You guys should make a "how does hiccups come about and how to get rid of them" video!
Hey Mimi! Great idea. We'll add it to our big list of future topics to cover!
Thanks for that, New Jersey... might have to use your brainstuff next time.
I know one time back in 4th grade, I left a bottle of water in my desk. I forgot about it until around the last week of school. It smelled like absolute shit lol
That explains why my canteen water smelled like chlorine when I remembered it being in my bag after a week.
What about if you leave it in the car during hot weather? That's one I always hear people say. 'Oh don't do that, I'll go bad'.
it is not the water in itself that goes bad, but it is the container that the water comes in that can cause the problems. Most water comes in thin clear plastic bottles which when exposed to heat can leak chemicals into the water. Air inside the container is filled with bacteria and that can cause some contamination of the water as well. So like it was said in the video, the water itself will never go bad, but it can be spoiled by outside factors such as air, bacteria and chemicals if they are allowed to get into the container itself. There are water products in cans on the market now that come with 30 and 50 year shelf lives and they are designed to prevent contamination from outside.
Don't use cheap plastic bottles for long term storage. Use Glass or heavier plastics, those cheap bottles do leach.
I didn't know Ben Carson had a youtube channel.
