Shelf Life Of Coopers Carbonation Drops

[Moz80]

g'day guys, first time poster. Cleaned out my brew cupboard the other day and found a pack of un-opened carb drops packed in April 09. Just wondering if they will be right to still use, or should I get some freshies. Had a look around the forum but couldn't find an answer. Cheers

I've used carb drops that were 2+ years old with no problem.

Cheers for the quick reply. I'll give the drops a new home this arvo.

Considering the carb drops are just sugar, I don't think they'd go "out of date" in a hurry.

I think sugar lasts for about 150 to 175 years shelf life.

Sugar doesnt go off, as long as they havent melted into one solid lump they are fine to use no matter how old they are!
