32. LOL, cinnamon is not a great example to "last forever" in my house.

It will only "last forever" if the bottle gets lost.

The more likely problem is forgetting to buy it when the current bottle is getting low.

(cinnamon is good for managing blood sugar, for one; and it is illegal in my house to make oatmeal without cinnamon )
