A Canner Exceedingly Canny, One Moring Remarked to His Granny...

"Well a canner can can anything that he can but a canner can't can a can can he?"

Recently I saw a bottle of Seltzer water that had an expiration date of March 3009. That begs too many questions:

1) Do they expect the plastic bottle to last an entire millenium?

2) What exactly would happen to seltzer water when it expires? Would it become flammable?

3) How did they test to determine that it would last for a full 1000 years? Did the Catholic church seal some Canada dry away in the Vatican archives at the beginning of the dark ages?

4) If this stuff lasts 1000 years how long do twinkies last? Has the first twinkie even expired yet?
