Do these lose flavor after a while? How long would you say they are good for? Do they really taste different enough to get all these flavors?

They don't lose their flavor over time. Nut tree wood (e.g., hickory) is significantly different from fruit tree wood (e.g., apple) in aroma. You might just try one of each type, and then branch out. Hickory and apple are my favorites: some folks really like mesquite. Good luck!

The containers that I have opened, I place plastic wrap over them before I place the lid back on top. I have had these chips for over a year and they are holding up very well. Personally, I was not really sure which chips I would like the best, so I purchased them all; if you already know which flavor you like, then I would suggest you only purchase the ones you like. I hope this helps you.

I've had some for years and they still impart flavor. Some more than others. Keep them dry in the tins they come in.

Just a wild guess, but most similar seasonings I find are good for at least a year- not much to go bad really.

I'm guessing longevity of product? I've tried making these on my own, but have yet to repeat the quality. There's lots of DIY recipes out there. Until I can make them on my own, they beat 75% of the garbage that other companies offer as "snacks".

Both previous answers are good, it just depends on your choice. Personally, I just eat them and wash down with water or juice. After the first initial "bitter" taste, you eventually get used to the taste and can eat them like candy---just limit yourself to what the package recommends for a serving. Enjoy better health! B.

I got really tired of the flavor and probably swallowed more than half of them with no problem at all. Hope that helps!

Considering that they are pure chemicals I doubt they ever expire. And I'm not sure why you would want it solely for the flavors.

I really don't know because they are so good they don't last long. I suggest you contact Enjoy Life as they certainly should know the answer.

As long as the boxes were unopened they were fine. They taste a lot like regular cones so we all ended up using them :) ours lasted us almost a year.

If there is an expiration date, don't worry; they won't last long enough to expire...they are that GOOD!

No, spices lose strength over time, I use more of a spice that I have had for long while to enhance flavor. For special occasions if a spice I need is old I'll buy a new one.

I have some that were open for three weeks. They didn't spoil, but they lost some of their flexibility. There's a manufactured and best by date on each package (it appears that spans 10 months). I've never had one spoil, but I've never had them last longer than three weeks or be older than the best by date.

I didn't refrigerate them and they tasted good for at least a week because I kept the bag sealed (I can't remember if I sealed them in its own bag or in a zip lock bag.) But after that I don't know. I forgot about them after that and worried about getting sick so I threw them out. But I know for a week for sure.

Oh yeah there are tons of flavors. I requested 5 and asked them to give me a surprise one. I havent tried them yet but they smell wonderful and are very excited!! This is perfect if your starting out because the packs are small so if you dont like a flavor its better to have a small amount then by a bucket of it and have it! Hope this helped and you enjoy!! :)

They have no flavor. I spice the water that I reconstitute them in; soy sauce, cumin, basil, oregano, cayenne, etc. depending on what I am going to use them in.

I've had some over 6 months and they are still good. They have kind of a wax outer shell so I think they would keep for some time.

They are not flavored, plain. You have to swallow it with water, its very small though..

I have been using them for years with no problems. Just make sure that you flush them out the first time you use them. When the 3 months are up they are up make sure you change it. Sorry never have had a bad taste
