Unopened fuel which is stored out of direct sunlight is literally good for years. We have opened 10-year old containers and had the fuel be fully potent and usable. However, in general it is a good idea to use the fuel off your shelves annually, especially if exposed to sunlight. Once fuel has been opened, it has been exposed to air which includes moisture. Both water and sunlight are your fuel's enemy, so the more frequently or the longer it is exposed the more rapidly it will deteriorate. See similar questions...

Do not open or puncture the can. Place the unopened can in a sealable bag, wrap another plastic bag around it, and tape it tightly. Dispose the taped bags in a trash receptacle for non-recyclable trash outside the home and out of reach of humans and pets. Wash hands with soap and running water for at least 2 minutes. Any food that may be contaminated with botulinum toxin should be discarded using extreme care. See similar questions...

Mori-Nu Tofu has a shelf-life of one year. The "best used by" date printed on the package represents one year to the day after it was made. That is, a package marked best used by "DEC 31 05" was made on December 31, 2004. We do not recommend eating Mori-Nu Silken Tofu after the "best used by" date. You do not need to refrigerate Mori-Nu Tofu until the package is opened. For best results, store in a cool, dry place like your pantry or cupboard. See similar questions...

Hard and gas permeable lenses reshape the cornea, and even a soft lens can alter the shape by causing swelling. Leaving them out helps your cornea return to its most natural shape. By waiting this period of time, or even longer, we try to assure that we will get the most accurate results from your exam, which has a direct effect on the accuracy of your surgery. The goal is to get the best measurements for your vision correction. See similar questions...

It depends on how many contacts are being added, how many contacts are on the phone, the type of phone and the nature of any changes. Adding 50 contacts to a new phone may take 2-3 minutes. When updating contacts, only those contacts that have been changed will be sent to the phone, so updates are generally much faster. See similar questions...

This batch of yerba mat? will be at peak flavor for another 18 months. After that, the flavor will begin to decline. Generally, we age our yerba mat? for a year before we ship it north to the US from Argentina. After that, it usually continues to age for 3-9 months before we send it out to stores and customers. Flavor seems to peak around 2 years, and stays fresh for at least 3 years. After 3 years, it will begin to grow stale, but it is still safe to drink. See similar questions...
