10 year old aspirin still work?

Possibly more effective. Possibly fatal. It will smell and taste like nasty vinegar though.
 
I wouldn't put 10-year-old anything in my body.
(Non-drinker here so forget the comments about Scotch)

Hmm...what 10-year-old products CAN you consume? My mind is drawing a blank (apart from alcohol)...

From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aspirin
...aspirin can undergo autocatalytic degradation to salicylic acid in moist conditions, yielding salicylic acid and acetic acid....

...Salicylic acid was also isolated from meadowsweet (Filipendula ulmaria, formerly classified as Spiraea ulmaria) by German researchers in 1839. While their extract was somewhat effective, it also caused digestive problems such as gastric irritation and bleeding, and diarrhea, and even death when consumed in high doses.

That's why you throw your aspirin out every few years and buy new. It probably won't hurt you, but it does have side effects.

Ironically, those are the very same side effects of normal aspirin.

Judging by the amount of time since the OP posted, I'd say this went well for him. :laugh:
