How to interpret this bottle of Poland Spring?

I buy these bottles of Poland Spring to drink and haven't really looked at their volume until today. I'm a native user of the metric system, and I'm not well-versed with the retarded system.

What is that supposed to mean? Optimally, I'm supposed to drink 78 ounces of water and I don't think they mean 29 of these water bottles.

A fluid ounce is not the same thing as an ounce.

he is talking about fluid ounces, most likely.

OP, 1 liter = 33.8 US fluid ounces approx.

so your bottle is roughly 50.7 ounces

Because most people are smart enough that it is not necessary. What does that say about you?

And what's the deal with the expiration dates on water bottle? Does water expire now?
