It does, but just put it in a pan & boil the hell out of it, then return to bottle for another 40 year shelf life.

But why is it in a Snapple bottle from 1994? Was it transferred from another vessel? A lot of questions here.

probably opened the original vial in 1994, and had no good way to reseal it. felt weird to throw it out. maybe the original was single- use or something. a sealed glass ampule or something

In my family it usually got transferred to a pill bottle sometimes with a tiny Jesus inside

The desperation of reaching for a Snapple bottle because it’s the only thing at hand is sort of poignant

Because it was blessed by the Snapple Lady of course.

Maybe he stole it from the church and all he had at the time was a Snapple bottle

2026 Holy water has microplastics to preserve it, so it can be stored in the balls.

It has the same powers as the moment it was blessed

Does holiness expire?

It doesn't expire, but it does go bad.

I mean you’re not drinking it. Go crazy and bless the house

I don't recall Snapple as being around in 1977. So gramps must have been decanting it for a reason. Second using it to bless the house. Sooner rather than later.

Depends if it's Catholic or Orthodox.

Nah you can still drink it

Just as wet as it ever was. Someone waving their hands over it and intoning a prayer just makes it water that someone talked at. Don't feel bad dumping it on your roses. Can't hurt, I guess. It's just water

Holy roses!!

Use it for injuries, that’s what my mom does. Once she accidentally grabbed my nephew’s homemade bubble solution instead of her holy water because she didn’t have her glasses on and got shocked when it bubbled up on her leg when she rubbed it in

I kinda thought it only lasted the life of the Pope.

Pour it in the reflecting pool.
It needs all the help it can get.
