Margaret, if you watch these trucks closely, you’ll see they have the plastic caps, sheets of plastic wrap and butane bottles with them. They can slap those things on in just a few seconds. I first saw this in Mexico, walking down a street and a guy in a back alley sealing all the bottles. I’ve never seen it here, but to save some money and support a local entrepreneur, that’s a easy decision for me.

I’ve been buying Salvavidas water for over six years and have never had a problem. There is a clear plastic seal that must be removed and then the blue cap which is also sealed. The bottle also has a serial number and an expiration date clearly printed on it. The expiration date is within three months. I’ve never heard of this before. What I have heard of is the people that buy the water for their business and then refill the bottles with the tap water. A customer asks if there is bottled water and yes there is water in the bottle that’s been refilled a hundred times.
No matter where I buy something, I always check to see if it is sealed properly and the expiration date. I’ve noticed that the stores do not remove products here that are WELL beyond their shelf life.
