I got a good deal on a 3.5 pound bag of Swedish Fish, but they’re “best by” Nov 14.

So which will make me sicker? Eating them all within a week, or eating them after they go bad.

  • It would take an awful lot of time or other circumstances for swedish fish to become inedible. They’ll just get “stale” (with gummy candy, this is usually just getting a bit harder/chewier) and, in my experience with gummy Lifesavers, the flavor becomes more concentrated. I actually like that stuff just a little stale.
