Hmmmm If the use by date would not be expired, I would buy it, just to know, how the taste of Amicola is

Kinda cheap is probably right, thinlega.

I might just buy it. Hell, I've drunk out-of-date beer, eaten out-of-date snacks... In my pre-veggie days, I used to eat cans of pet food for a bet...

What I want to know is, why has the guy hung onto it for 3 years, then decided to sell it?

Usual ebay stupid mentality.

"I'll buy this strange shite and hold on to it, even if it rots, becasue in some years' time it will be a RARE NEW L@@K item and I'll earn loadsa cash from it if I sell it on eBay"

It goes something like that

LOL! So true. I really hate those L@@K items. Or use of the word WOW! So many ebay cliches, but what do you expect. It works, just like inane TV commercials work. Somewhere on this planet is a shitload of really dense people spending all of the world's money because of tactics aimed at idiots. Sometimes you just have to laugh. For every person playing Bow Wow Wow right now, there are a million people playing Britney Spears.

I guess it's worth more unopened in this case

I also wonder if it was better then Jolt, perhaps it had twice the sugar and twice the caffeine as well

@Twist, Bow Wow Wow, didn't they do that track called "I Want Candy"

Yeah they did. And before that, they were rather a bit underground-ish with their home cassette releases (called C-30, C-60, etc.) that were being peddled around by Malcolm McLaren.

These must have been those high quality type cassettes, the ones you buy in bulk from Radio Shack, even has their labels too I bet
