Nah, just your typical PhD paleontologist dinosaur nerd. The times they showed that side of Ross was probabaly some of the most realistic moments in the show.

If enough humidity over time gets in there, the salt can start caking and forming larger crystal clumps. However, the salt itself isn't damaged by that process and will work fine if broken back up and used in the quality you need.
A best by date here would be a notice from the manufacturer that the product should be shelf stable at least that long before "degrading".
Who's the one bullying and gatekeeping here?
I'm not a camera nerd either, but I recognize that there's people that need professional hardware either for a professional use or an obsessive hobby (either photog or other electronics or optics work). If a cell phone is "good enough" for me, that doesn't mean it's good for a specialist. Just like pretty much everything else in life.
As a former permastuff allergy sufferer, I can't recommend enough trying out triamcinolone (nasacort). I had tried nasal sprays in the 90s and early 2000s without any luck. About 5 or so years ago, my allergist recommend I give it a try again as a lot of formulas have come around since then and could work for me now. I couldn't believe it, no more permastuffed and there's smells everywhere. Learned that I love the smell of star jasmine flowers.
For me, a puff in each nostril in the morning and another puff as needed when blowing my nose doesn't suffice (which is rare) has turned this perma-stuffed allergy sufferer into a not-perma-stuffed person.
