Anyone tried it?
Can you buy it locally?
Expensive?
(For emergency food stash-you never know....)
Supposedly there's a 20-50 year shelf life.

I have seen it in old school army surplus stores and Cold War A bomb shelters, it was dirt cheap. I haven't seen it in years.

I was drinking diet Coke, then regular Coke but I ended that a few days ago.
I was just curious about water and if it came in a can. Was also curious about how safe plastic is.
Initially I was looking for a step down from cola and it's sugary fix. I thought water in a can, why not? But it's expensive and just another thing to recycle.
Sorry, no bunker. Nothing to hide from accept sugar.

Some would call alcohol-free beer water. At least its wine equivalent has some flavor.
Seriously, go to this Wikipedia article Canned water
| Quote: | Canned water is drinking water packaged in tin cans or beverage cans, a less common alternative to bottled water. Canned water is used primarily where storage or distribution systems are set up for cans, or when canning systems are used to make emergency water supplies.
Water was stored in steel cans, lined with plastic bags, under the United States Civil Defense program. Approximately twelve million 17.5-US-gallon (66 L) cans were deployed, and could hold water for more than ten years.[1] |
From the Civil Defense Museum link in the above article:

We moved lots of pallets of canned water through the Points of Distribution I supported during Katrina. Most beverage companies make it on contract for FEMA. Pretty easy to turn the cola/beer flavor off and fill up blank cans when needed, the AB cans above are a good example... I would agree with hiker1 though, can you tell the difference between bud and water???

You can "can" your own. When there was an estate sale in these parts, they found sealed canning jars filled with water. The former residents did this after the 1980 volcano explosion.
Get a canner, and jars and all the rest of the stuff and go for it.
What's especially fun about sock puppets is that you can make each one unique and individual, so that they each have special characters. And they don't have to be human––animals and aliens are great possibilities

A neighbor of ours used to fill empty gin bottles with water and stashed them in the crawl space. Of course that might not be all that useful after a large earthquake, the most likely disaster in Seattle.
Most grocery stores sell 2.5 gallon plastic jugs of water for fairly cheap price. That's a reasonable way to have a three day supply of water cached in the home somewhere.

I live three blocks from a river so I won't need canned water when the big one hits, just a water filter..
