Do you think they really are no good after the expiration date? For the record, it's only about 7 months from today, the date I received them...what do you guys/gals think?
DISCUS.

“Only 7 months”
2-3 years after expiration date I would consider throwing thembut not before.
Powder of sugar and minerals and no vitamins can last for a long time.
They put a date on it because the regulations say they have to. It's sealed and has preservatives--it might end up tasting a little "off" but it will never really go bad. At least not for a few years after the expiration date.
Its sugar water with some acids ..sh*t would be good forever as long as stayed sealed
A while back I got a e-mail from them about replacing some I had purchased.
They sent me two boxes .
I did notice that the packages of the original gel had puffed up a bunch???
I tossed the old ones.

This is kind of my thinking as well....
The reason I made this post is because I plan on using these gels/drinks very infrequently, for races or time trials of a half marathon or longer, and of course we know it'll still be a while before real races are fully a go.
I was surprised to see that their expiration date was so short but like others have said, I'm sure they're still fine even up to a year or even longer after purchase
