    My friends and I were in Teton National Park diving in one of the lakes with some goggles and found a old Heinz half gallon vinegar bottle from 1904. There is still liquid in it the same color slightly cloudy with some sentiment floating inside. I wanna know if I could possibly be the original vinegar. The bottle still even has the original cork with the bottled by on it, slightly eroded. Anyone know anything?

    Old cider vinegar might have developed 'mother'.

    komokwa The Truth is out there...!

    the cork may not be a perfect seal.........
    and / or...

    Nearly all commercially made vinegar will last indefinitely in an unopened bottle. ... This bacteria causes the formation of a cloudy sediment that is nothing more than harmless cellulose, a complex carbohydrate that does not affect the quality of the vinegar or its flavor.

    This is posted more than once.....but I can not verify it's origin..
