Keeping them cool/refridgerated but not frozen is the best way to prolong life
by slowing chemical degredation. Freezing may well cause bursting due to
expansion of water vapour trapped inside, etc. and some chemicals don't survive
the freeze/thaw cycle well. Still, don't expect them to last forever as the
chemicals will still degrade over time.
