What's the problem? I have never have eaten such a thing, but I would have to think that anything frozen is just that, frozen. Don't microorganisms stop growing, moving, etc in freezing temperatures? I would think that anything well packed and frozen would be the same 2 yeats from now as it would be 2 years from now.

Now, my buddy one time had a 2 year old bag of potato chips in his garage. This went through the ridicuolus heat of the summers as well. We never ate it, but again I would think it would be alright. Probably not the tastiest (or healthiest) but with all those preservatives and lack of meat I would think it would be alright.

Or maybe I'm just crazy...

I just ate a 2.5 year old popsicle and it almost killed me, but only because I had a huge chunk in between my lips trying to suck the juice out of the ice and it came lose. The whole chunk went flying down my throat and was lodged there for a second. It scared me because about 3 years ago I choked on a hot dog and nearly died. Still taste good though, even after all of these years.

If it was Domino's you would be ok. That stuff has such an insane quantity of preservatives the shelf life is pretty much indefinite. We had 2 of them get misplaced under my dorm room bed during a party and found them during end-of-semester cleaning over a month later. Popped in the microwave and tasted just like new.

Preservative-free pizza, OTOH, gets noticably stale just 45 minutes after cooking, which is why almost all major pizza places use A LOT of preservatives. The sauce and the cheese react together chemically and go stale faster than they would separated otherwise.

Particles stop moving at Absolute Zero (0 degrees Kelvin, or -274 C I believe). No lab has ever achieved absolute zero, but they've come close.

rofl, speaking of which: my cousin in TN - they have about a 10 year old bag of Fritos in their dining room along with other snacks that haven't been touched in ages. The bag has lost all of it's air and there's a 1/2" thick layer of dust covering it.

Ah, that's right, Absolute Zero. Are you sure no lap has ever achieved it, because I got myself a Maytag, and the Maytags rock, BABY!
