Lifespan of powdered Gatorade

That chart seems a little off. I had a half used can in the pantry that I used the other day that had been there since our Memorial day camping trip last year. It wasn't clumped up at all, and It didn't kill me or taste bad when I mixed and drank it.

I think any type of published guidelines will have a grossly underestimated time frame to avoid the lawsuit-happy public.

Probably the only way of actually knowing for sure is trial. If it is properly sealed away from vermin to eat it, sunlight/heat to allow it to break down chemically, and moisture/air for spoilage by microbes, should last a heckuva long time.
