Leaking Water Bottles?

Here's a possible problem with plastic 1 gallon water bottles( supermarket variety). I usually keep a dozen or so gallons of bottled water around the house and rotate the stock -more or less - regularly. Anyway , recently I happened to invert a bottle as I picked it up and it leaked! The seal was still intact, but there was a pinhole in the seal that was only evident when the bottle was turned upside down.

I write a date on the bottles as I buy them, and this one was only a month out of the market. Checked the rest of my stash and didn't find any others leaking, but since then I did find 2 more on supermarket shelves.

Don't know how widespread this problem might be, but just wanted to suggest that those of you who do keep a supply of bottled water on hand check the seals on the ones you have and check at the market before you buy.
 
I too have expeeienced leaky bottles (luckily all water, no milk yet..)

Most often from when they turn over on the trip home and I find a wet spot.

Almost all have pinpoint holes that almost spray when the bottle is squeezed.

Check all of them before you leave the store.

Gee, for all of you conspiracy people, could someone be injecting mind control substances??
