I have a bag at least a year old, and they fish just fine - slowly emit off the sugar and float.

Use 2 marsh mellows n put then on first, slide em up onto the line past the eyelet or ur hook, then put on as much worm as you want, then slide the marsh mellows back down over the eyelet and the worm will squish down the hook just enough. They stay put real good. Sometimes I use an insulin needle and fill the worm up with a little air and then even if ur mellows don't make the trip, ur worm still floats. Pretty fool proof !
