Angry Keto Stix

Wondering if anyone has had Keto Stix go bad? I bought a bottle of Atkins brand in February and when I went to use them this past week I didn't get a reading.
Ticked me off a bit because I thought for sure I was in Ketosis and the stix were reading negative. So of course I had to go by more and Hooray I am in ketosis. So I wanted to know if anyone else had stix go bad.

Thanks for letting me sound off!!

I remember reading somewhere on the bottle that they are only good for 6 months.

I had a bottle for about 3 weeks and then went bad. I now keep them in a ziplock bag and don't open them when there is steam or alot of moisture in the bathroom.

Actually yes, It happened the other day. It had never been opened at all , but once I opened them and tried to use them, they didnt do anything. But hte other bottle I had gave a reading of heavy ketosis, and I bought them at the same time and same place, so yea... I think i got ripped off on that one (lol)

I keep thinking mine will go bad but so far they are still going! It's a huge bummer when they dont change though so I am sorry to those of you especially who got the false readings---BUMMER...but at least you really were still burning fat!
