I found some skittles in one of my kitchen cabinets. I cannot remember the last time I put stuff in this cabinet so it must have been a very, very long time ago. I see no expiration date so.. GAF?

P.S I have eaten most of the bag already, this is more of an after thought so if I go into shock or start pissing shit I'll know what did it.

 

[Costanza]

[Door2Dawn]

Eat it and find out

 

[NomarTyme]

You already ate it? :lol

I heard Skittles were the Twinkies of the candy world...

Naw, I ate a 3 year old bag of skittles and I did not get sick.

They were a bit stale though.

Rainbows don't have an expiry date.

 

[btkadams]

does sugar even go bad?

 

[DonMigs85]

As long as the bag was wrapped up well and it's not too humid then it should be fine. Chew one first to see if it tastes a little off or has a weird texture. If it's bad don't swallow.

 

[eggandI]

Well they taste great, I think. They are just hard as rocks. Bottoms up

nope... but it can absorb odors and flavors if you leave it around for a long-ass time

I store sugar next to my toilet.

 

[ChubbyHuggs]

From what I remember they just go a little bit stale.

 

[StoOgE]

The citric acid in skittles probable fermented some of the sugar into alcohol. So, that's a plus.

 

[Always-honest]

i don't think american food has expiration dates.

just sugar.. maybe they'll stick a bit more.. or they'll be a bit harder..

tastes good man.

Did that creature vomit out a shark which vomited out a leopard, which shoots laser beams out of its eyes?

WAT.

 

[dudeworld]

usually they'd just turn really hard and the insides would be more powdery than chewy

This is exactly what it was like.

So GAF, whenever you find a years-old skittles bag, fear not and devour it.

You beat me to it, you bastard. :lol

I never made that connection before. Thank you

Though this thread was about Skittleguy.

 

[Kozak]

No.

Over used by date candy is the shit!! Sour candy is actually sour after its use by date!

A factory in Sydney sells candy over its use by date and we used to buy em in bulk.

BEST TASTING CANDY EVER!

 

[SystemShock2]

?

How long does it take for that to happen?

 

[Skittleguy]

Though this thread was about Skittleguy.

It could be. Should I go set something on fire or something?

Do It.

This. We found a box of several month old Skittles at this place I used to work. So we tried them. They were really crunchy but other than that they were fine.

What happen to that "post your stupid questions here" thread?

 

[siddx]

I once left cooked hamburger helper on the stove over the weekend, came home, heated it up and ate it.
I was fine, except for the mud butt.

I think you'll be ok.

Sugar is one thing, but ground beef left out for more than a few hours?....

 

[Jal]

Usually happens right after this.

They'd only potentially go bad if they got wet. Sugar doesn't rot unless it gets moist.

Here's another question:

why don't the people who make skittles package them in certain color combos? i'd buy them more often if they had a pack with just red and purple ones. I dont need that shitty yellow or green in there.

 

[Drkirby]

Yes, they have a shelf life of 1 year from when they were produced. There should be a printed code on the back in a white rectangle which represents when it was made, its about 7ish characters long. The first number is the last digit of year it was made, the second two are for the week that year. So anything lower then 913xxxx is expired.

Look for that code harder. Most likely, they are bad though.

does sugar even go bad?

Actually, no, pure sugar really does not have an experation date, all you have to do is store it properly and it should be good for ever. The chemicals in almost all processed foods DO have an expiration date though.

Mars did try that in anther form, Starburst that only had 4 kinds of red flavors! No one bought them :/

 

[WEGGLES]

If they were bad you wouldn't be able to eat them.

They'd be harder than diamonds :{
