Daryl was considering the barter offer and decided to push one case off to the side - the one they hadn't opened, "This one stays here. It's ours."
The other one, that had already been opened and two bottles stolen from, Daryl grabbed another one from and put it to the side as well. Sure a 12pack missing three meant supply only got nine, but it was flavored water. Which had to go for a little more in the long run than regular water. Variety and special treats and all that.
He tapped the remains of the case, "Just this. Two lanterns if we can get it, one lantern and a half dozen candles if we can't. And a match book or lighter."
At that point he realized Jesus had said something weird. Frowning, he looked over, "You sure it don't read twenty fourtee-" No. No, it did not.
"No one makes bottled water with a sell by that long." He checked the other case, same date. Daryl rubbed at his lower lip, "Best you'll find is one or two years. Unflavored."
Plain water could last indefinitely if stored properly, but he never expected any water to be stored properly anymore. His thumb slipped from his chin into his mouth, thoughtful, "Don't bring it up. We'll hit the library after we trade this to 'em. Check the news archives."
