brand new 10 year old cups
Hi guys, I have just got hold of a brand new set of cups, never been used with labels still on. Question is, do I put them on or are they too old?

My view is no, if they fail, they won't let go when it's convenient for you - they'll let go when it's very inconvenient for you and it might hurt.

I hope these 10 year old "NEW" Cups were FOC as unfortunately that are at least 4 years out of date and most likely would de-laminate at the most inconvenient time for you with painful consequences, as per Rick's post... if you decide to use them as Michelin intended.
