Does time kill juices?

[Drewps5co0tt]

Was curious if there was an exp date on juices from the time they have been made? I have some juices that don't taste good like they use to, and it's well under a year. If so, I need to stop stocking up on .... cause I'm wasting my coins having to toss this .....

Sometimes your tastes just change...they should last a year or two.

Most vendors I've noticed that list an expiration put it at 1 year.

Many juices will change in flavor over the first couple weeks, but that's a totally different matter and generally results in an improvement in flavor rather than the other way around.

Yea...for example I have Strawberry Cotton Candy from PSV, all I can smell/taste in it now is the Strawberry...as if it was a pure strawberry juice. I def haven't lost the taste for it, it's my favorite juice to date...I just think something has happened to it. I tend to keep a lot of my bottles sitting next to my computer and I'm thinking the heat from the vents killed it off? I didn't realize that was a problem until I started watching what I was doing.

Yeah, always keep your juice in a cool, dark place.

I have some Johnson Creek and Dekang juices that are about 2-1/2 years old. Will make you a good deal on them!

Eventually everything dies, including juice flavors. But there's no specific time frame (such as one year or two years) that applies across the board. Half-life varies from juice to juice, just as it does with radioactive sub-atomic particles.
