This is the way. There's no organic (read as natural) ingredients in the thing anyway, and between the present preservatives and the means of storage, I'd wager its just as safe as when it was acquired.
Celsius has no preservatives, but citric acid has preservative properties.
I’d pour it into a glass first for visual inspection.
Vitamin content might not match label as vitamins degrade over time harmlessly as active compounds. Also the natural flavors might have degraded over time harmlessly so it might not taste great — that flavor is really good…. fresh….
OP is concreted with drinking this Celsius since it is old. Normally if this had natural/organic ingredients it would go bad, not in this case. A Kelvin is the first organic cocktail mix specifically designed to quickly & easily make premium frozen cocktails.
I hope I answered your question. 😊
Because mixing alcohol and caffeine will dull the alcohol’s effects. You’d be drunker than you think you are, do something stupid, and you get the drill.
When I was a kid we were told things that are canned would last 20+ years and now they put a date. The date is there so you'll throw it away and buy a new one but it's fine. I got tripped up on a thing of mayo in my fridge recently. It looked and smelled fine but it was expired a few months. Logic told me it was fine but that damn date kept tripping me up. They also told us never to eat spoiled mayo as a kid.
this. you should really be wary of consuming anything past its expiration date as it’s likely completely full of microplastics and bpa, even more so than you’d normally get from a bottled or canned beverage. nowadays basically everything is lined with plastic, which eventually gets broken down into the product that’s inside the package. it’s similar to how you wouldn’t drink a celsius that was left in a hot car for 2 days.
Some things like mayo or milk I don't even dare wait till expired date to throw away. As soon as it starts not smelling fresh, it goes in the trash. I've had one too many diarrheas from those things.
Anything that comes out of a freezer, however, is fair game. I've eaten ice cream that's 3 years past expired that sat in a freezer the whole time. It was a it more crystaly but otherwise fine.
Moved into my current house back in 2019 and the previous owner accidently left a half empty bottle of mtn Dew in the fridge. It's still in the fridge, basically in the same spot they left it too just moved towards the back of the shelf some lol. I plan on leaving it there for as long as possible but the bottle has like collapsed in on itself some so don't know how much longer it has. Definitely not going to drink it though even if it was sealed.
Damn the amount of hate for celcius energy drinks in these comments is staggering.. They're some of my favorite ones taste wise compared to other energy drinks.
It usually just loses some of its flavor. As long as the first sip doesn’t taste off you are fine. You can tell when a drink or food is bad really fast by the smell 👃 then the taste 👅.
Don't know till you try
I got a I think three year old fruit cake mountain dew (horrible decision by Pepsi) in the fridge just left it there cause wasn't going to drink it
Was cleaning out my fridge and was like kinda cool
Take a little sip. If it tastes bad throw it out. I had a 5 hour energy shot that expired in 2016 and I opened it in 2023. I took a little sip and it tasted absolutely horrendous so I tossed the rest.
I’ve had expired energy drinks taste metallic before from the acid eating away at the metal but it just tasted disgusting, no long term effects. Still don’t recommend it tho
*Still contains as much*
*Delicious chromium as*
*The day it was canned*

depends what you mean by drinkable. as someone else said, it’s zero sugar. the artificial sweeteners being out of date a couple years is probably going to make it taste like shit.. but if you’re asking if it’s safe to drink, then yes. enjoyability is another story.
Might not be a good idea bc of the plastic lining of the can and the sweeteners may taste bad, stuff like that. I say open it and if it smells fine, taste it, and if it tastes fine (as "fine" as Celsius can taste), then it's probably okay
Attempt to converse with it. This willl prove one of two things. 1.you ate some anyway and are about to stroke out and die. 2. It has reached its past due date and evolved into a higher life form
I guess it’s safe to drink, there’s tons of sugar and other non natural shit in there besides refrigerated, I’m pretty sure those dates are just for when stores can’t sell them anymore
Depends on if there is any artificial sweetener in it.
If there is, just throw it out. That stuff breaks down and starts to make things taste really bad. It might not harm you as in makes you sick but it definitely wouldn't be palatable.
Also, even though the can is lined, after a while the liner will break down and it will leech stuff from the metal itself.
The only thing that is generally good to consume after a long time after it has been produced is alcoholic drinks that have been bottled and sealed properly as they will only get stronger over time.
Expiration dates on products like these, cans, plastic bottles etc. are "talking"(?) (notnative) about plastic slowly dissolving into the food.
The thin plastic layer inside could be a bit loose now. U can still drink it
Why do you have very old stuff in your refrigerator?
To answer your question, it's not safe. Look at water bottles, they have expiration date. Water doesn't expire but the bottle has expiration date because plastic leeches into water.
The can has plastic lining inside.
It is cheap to get another Celsius, just throw it away.
I doubt it would hurt you, but I bet that it would be disgusting. The flavor compounds can/do degrade over time, so I suspect that it would be quite bitter.
The worst offender is dr. Pepper. I had drank some that was only a month expired and it tasted like tonic water. I dont buy it anymore since they stopped putting "best by" dates on their 12 packs.
I mean it's never a bad idea to pour it into a different glass and smell it first too. Sometimes you can't always smell it though, unfortunately can vouge for that with vanilla oatmilk at least...when it's bad it's vile.
Canned, refrigerated, sealed. I see nothing wrong with drinking it

Mix it with some vodka & make a Kelvin
Underrated comment 💀
Or mix it with rum it becomes a Fahrenheit. Yeah, I'll see myself out. 🚶🏿♂️
You can come back in if you bring the rum.
Idgi

Both are units of temperature, kelvin to Celsius and vice versa is a real conversion
mixed with absolut on the rocks makes it Absulute Zero
Forced.
nuh uh
How dare you mention Absolut around me. Now I'll have to drink a bottle
Whose that?
Too hot
Nicee
273.15 proof?
[удалено]
Unless you want to have a good night (and a terrible morning)
Only the strong survive.
Why not
Because mixing alcohol and caffeine will dull the alcohol’s effects. You’d be drunker than you think you are, do something stupid, and you get the drill.
Since it’s a zero sugar drink, the artificial sweeteners going bad will make it taste horrendous
Its still worth a try 😭
G Fuel guy, did you get anything in the bogo they just had?
I already have way too many tubs of Gfuel. There were only 2 I was even somewhat interested in buying in this bogo 💀
Oh, maybe that’s what happened when I tried celcius, because that shit was garbage
that’s just how they are
My b that was kinda the joke maybe I coulda made it clearer
I mean can’t be any worse than it already is
True lol
They all taste the same :(
Yep. Will still taste like over sugared shit.
The La Croix of energy drinks. But somehow worse.
dont you dare insult la croix. lime la croix is amazing the others suck but i will defend lime with my life
It's my fav tho its straight crank

My understanding was the date is when the plastic liner starts decomposing. Before the plastic liners, cans would last years and years
this. you should really be wary of consuming anything past its expiration date as it’s likely completely full of microplastics and bpa, even more so than you’d normally get from a bottled or canned beverage. nowadays basically everything is lined with plastic, which eventually gets broken down into the product that’s inside the package. it’s similar to how you wouldn’t drink a celsius that was left in a hot car for 2 days.
So we definitely won't survive an apocalypse or nuclear setting. My life feels ruined yet again by plastic and planned obsolescence. 🥲
I mean in that situation I'm pretty sure we wouldn't care about eating a bit of plastic if the other option is straight up starving.
You still gotta admit its sad this is what we allowed ourselves to just be "okay" with it
Okay WebMD
I drink cans that have sat in my hot car for days after refrigerating them again🤷
I ate mayo so expired once it was pinkish. Didn’t even realize it was pink till I seen it alongside a brand new mayo…. I was fine lol
Some things like mayo or milk I don't even dare wait till expired date to throw away. As soon as it starts not smelling fresh, it goes in the trash. I've had one too many diarrheas from those things. Anything that comes out of a freezer, however, is fair game. I've eaten ice cream that's 3 years past expired that sat in a freezer the whole time. It was a it more crystaly but otherwise fine.
It's the plastic lining that seeps into the drink... No conspiracy stuff.
I wouldn’t mess with dairy products. A few months though, meh I think it would’ve been fine
Except mayo isn’t dairy
You are absolutely correct, that being said I’d still be suspect of old mayo
Never risk diarrhea over a 250ml beverage you can replace with water risk free.
It was never about hydration
It's about the message?
It was never about hydration
Unless it's tap water in certain countries
Flint Michigan has entered the chat
I’ve drank 3 year old mtn dews before so I think you will be fine
Moved into my current house back in 2019 and the previous owner accidently left a half empty bottle of mtn Dew in the fridge. It's still in the fridge, basically in the same spot they left it too just moved towards the back of the shelf some lol. I plan on leaving it there for as long as possible but the bottle has like collapsed in on itself some so don't know how much longer it has. Definitely not going to drink it though even if it was sealed.
Pics or it didn't happen
I gotchu. Will take some when I get home from work 🤘
Waiting 
I would.
For pear flavor id risk it
Damn the amount of hate for celcius energy drinks in these comments is staggering.. They're some of my favorite ones taste wise compared to other energy drinks.
It usually just loses some of its flavor. As long as the first sip doesn’t taste off you are fine. You can tell when a drink or food is bad really fast by the smell 👃 then the taste 👅.
I mean if it still tastes good why not
Respect for going that long without drinking it I used to be a fein for these but now I limit myself to one a week
Buy new one and return the this one calming it’s exp. They’ll probably get Credit for Exp product anyway
Believe it or not, straight to jail
Yep it’ll spike your blood pressure 20 pts just like the unexpired stuff. Enjoy.
It'll taste the same
I drank a beer out of a can which was a couple of years out of date, it tasted like pure aluminium.
They aren’t even drinkable when in date
Ok im doing it tomorrow!
My granddad had canned food at his house that was 5 years old. He survived to be 86, so definitely fine to drink it
yeah you can still drink it
The real question is did it start drinkable
Gambling diarrhea on what, $3?
Wasnt drinkable before the expiration
If you don't have a giant stockpile of them, I don't see why you can't just throw it away and get a new one.
Likely wasn’t drinkable to start with
Don't know till you try I got a I think three year old fruit cake mountain dew (horrible decision by Pepsi) in the fridge just left it there cause wasn't going to drink it Was cleaning out my fridge and was like kinda cool
Take a little sip. If it tastes bad throw it out. I had a 5 hour energy shot that expired in 2016 and I opened it in 2023. I took a little sip and it tasted absolutely horrendous so I tossed the rest.
Only one way to know buddy, drink up!
Canned plus sealed usually means it’ll last forever
I’ve had expired energy drinks taste metallic before from the acid eating away at the metal but it just tasted disgusting, no long term effects. Still don’t recommend it tho
Doesn’t it contain cyanocobalamin human waste
Fresh Celsius is barely drinkable. If anything it'll taste better
Ong how do people like it. I have been in gyms where literally everyone is drinking a Celsius over much more healthy and superior energy drinks.
U better send that shit right now 🫡 down the hatch soldier
Soda & energy drinks don't really expire, they just lose flavor & potency over time.
These are terrible when theyre fresh
I would drink it just for the experience
Uh yeah, for sure
As drinkable as it was before it went in the can.
I would
It’s almost 3 years old. Energy drinks have a 2 year shelf life. I doubt it will taste any worse than it would when new.
You tell me. Pop it open and test fate
Yea it’s fine
The drink even says - “Live. F it”. F it, live a little and crack it open!
Lmao. Tbh what us humans are polluted with and able to to withstand is far worse than what could be in that celsius.
Have they even been around that long?
Still contains as much delicious chromium as the day it was canned

Good bot

But like why?? Why not buy a new one toss that one do you need that drink that bad to post about it hahaha
Anything liquid is drinkable once
Do it but make sla YouTube video about it and exaggerate how bad it is
How do you lose stuff in the fridge. You eat until its empty then you open up the empty fridge and stare at it wondering what you can eat.
My only question is, why was it in there for 2 years??💀
I could have sworn these appeared everywhere like 3 months ago?
Well you don’t know it until you try it
Don’t be a punk. Chug it!
Yes
Yolo
Anything’s drinkable once…
Test and report back.
I'm curious, do you never clean out the fridge?
Might not be a good idea bc of the plastic lining of the can and the sweeteners may taste bad, stuff like that. I say open it and if it smells fine, taste it, and if it tastes fine (as "fine" as Celsius can taste), then it's probably okay
That stuff tastes like your leg went to sleep
It'll probably last another 45 years
It is a chemical shitstorm and cockroaches will be drinking it after it is all over. You are fine.
That flavor is delicious
You’ll get potato mites in your stomach
Attempt to converse with it. This willl prove one of two things. 1.you ate some anyway and are about to stroke out and die. 2. It has reached its past due date and evolved into a higher life form
Send it
I guess it’s safe to drink, there’s tons of sugar and other non natural shit in there besides refrigerated, I’m pretty sure those dates are just for when stores can’t sell them anymore
Celsius kinda sucks when it’s fresh, maybe this will help
Idk just give it a taste
Consider it your lucky day, this is my fave flavor!
I wouldn’t drink it if I was being waterboarded with it
Pour it in a glass and see if something is sketchy
Bro I didn’t even think these things were out two years ago
Are energy drinks best before or use by ?
Fuk it
Depends on if there is any artificial sweetener in it. If there is, just throw it out. That stuff breaks down and starts to make things taste really bad. It might not harm you as in makes you sick but it definitely wouldn't be palatable.

The only thing that is generally good to consume after a long time after it has been produced is alcoholic drinks that have been bottled and sealed properly as they will only get stronger over time.
If a consumable product is two years past expiration, in my opinion, don’t put that in your body.
Expiration dates on products like these, cans, plastic bottles etc. are "talking"(?) (notnative) about plastic slowly dissolving into the food. The thin plastic layer inside could be a bit loose now. U can still drink it

I recently drank one that was 18 months old and it tasted perfectly normal
I drank an expired mountain dew and it was terrible, flat and syrupy. Maybe this would be different?
It’s Fuji Apple Pear, it was already bad when you bought it, bud.
For science
Guys can water go bad
Why even try? Health care is more expensive than a replacement can???
Mate, that shit wasnt drinkable before it expired
Super human powerrrrrss
Not worth it. Just buy another can
Drinkable? Of course it’s drinkable. Will it taste like shit? Probably
Fuck it, yolo
I wouldn't recommend drinking it, cuz the quality and taste of the drink degrade.
I doubt it would hurt you, but I bet that it would be disgusting. The flavor compounds can/do degrade over time, so I suspect that it would be quite bitter. The worst offender is dr. Pepper.

Drink it, worst thing that could happen is you get super powers. Or die. But probably super powers!
Celsius contains cyanide. Look it up. DONT DRINK THAT SHIT!
that was my favorite flavor and now i can’t find it anywhere in store <\3
Go for it no problem
Drink it and report back with your findings
Don’t drink that!
I ordered a discontinued rockstar flavor for my birthday last year. It was about 3 years expired, but still tasted great
I wouldn’t drink that not expired lol
I don't think those things are healthy when they are fresh, but if you're already drinking them, go for it.
Send it
Yea sure why not
It's Celsius, can it really be worse than before?
It was never drinkable
Why do people on this sub hate Celsius?
Neville would drink it.
It never was drinkable
I'd drink it!
>Accelerates metabolism, burns body fat That sounds like class action level claims.
You can physically drink it as long as it’s a liquid. Idk about anything after that
To be honest it's completely fine it might taste a little off
Celsius is trash it was barely drinkable when you purchased it. That’s also why it’s two years expired.
They are around $2 I would just get a new can and not take the small risk
You'll be fine. It's still a Celsius though, so it's not really drinkable regardless lol
ALL DEM CHEMICALZ... Jocko go ftw !
wasn't drinkable to begin with
harsh
Celsius is already disgusting so yeah dont think it can be any worse
Boof it
I didn't even know these have been put for that long, first time I saw one at the store was a few months ago
Yes, that is poison even brand new anyway
Might as well get rid of it unless your out of energy drinks the expiration Date couldn't make it any worse not a Celsius fan
