bulknoob Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Just got a message from one of my locations complaining the last few sodas they’ve bought (16.9 oz Pepsi products) have been expired and flat. They’ve all been bought within the last month or so from a local grocery store, and I didn’t think to look at the dates. So my question is, what is the shelf life for bottled soda? I figured as long as its cold and out of direct sunlight, it’d be good for months. Any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savend Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 It’s very short. I think it’s like diets & only about 90 days. I usually fine when the stores put drinks on special I have to watch dates pretty closely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arkhusker Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 45-60 days on diets, 90ish days on regulars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southeast Treats Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Bottles don't seal like cans and can offgas the carbonation much faster. Ark is pretty spot on for the numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orsd Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 PET is permeable, so CO2 can get through it. So your sodas will get flatter and flatter. Also, if you have strong smelling stuff near the bottles it can taint the drink with the smell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
