I smelled it the other day and doesn't smell HOT any longer, then again it is really old. I joined in 1998??? So that bottle has to be at least 10 years old. I can just imagine it has no taste left too. It got pushed to the back of the closet many years ago, PLUS I moved 9 years ago and when I did things got all messed up. I forgot about it. It would be really cool if Jim could figure it out! RisaG I think I joined in '97, but I don't know how long after that I got the powder. I think it's been refrigerated since opened. WOW! I just put waaayyy too much on an old, stale chip to test it. I don't think I've used any of it in a few to several years, but there's more than plenty of heat left in there for my moderate palate. The flavor seemed ok, but was fairly tainted by the staleness of the chip. Does anyone remember the little Tupperware salt and pepper shakers of smoked and plain Red Savina powder that Uncle Steve was selling ($5???) here years ago? I still have most of that left also. Good stuff, IIRC. I guess I really need to get through my own powder so I can start using up some of this stuff. -- Erich C-H # 2099 & First Lieutenant of the Moderate Corps Hey Sandy, can I be Grand Pooh Bear of the Royal and Ancient Club of Pepper Powder Hoarders?
