Do nerds the candy go bad?

Nerds ropes, like most candies, do have a shelf life. Here's what you need to know:

* The "Best By" Date: The date on the packaging is a guideline. It means the candy is likely to be at its best quality until that date.

* Storage Matters: Keeping Nerds rope in a cool, dry place will help it last longer. Avoid extreme heat or humidity.

* Signs of Spoilage: If the candy becomes discolored, sticky, or has an off-smell, it's best to discard it.

In general, unopened Nerds rope can last for several months past the "Best By" date if stored properly. Once opened, it's best to consume within a few weeks to maintain freshness.
