Or is it like twinkies and is good forever.
Don't you want dry chalk? Mine sometimes gets damp, and is useless.
Thank you kindly.
I've got a cube of clik chalk from the 60's. It's good chalk and I've used it. Stopped using it just to keep it around like an artifact lol. So its 50 years old or so and still usable. Seems like chalk has some longevity, lol.

Chalk will dry out over time. A certain level of dryness may be ok with pool chalk. But eventually it can get so dry that the chalk becomes worthless. The pro shop I worked at often ordered in tweeten Masters chalk in all the different colors that they made. So that when a customer ordered a pool table with an off colored cloth, we could match the cloth and chalk together. And I found that all the colors of Master chalk that was NOT blue was almost always dryer in touch/feel than the Masters Blue that came in the store at the same time. And I could only surmise that it was due to the other colors of chalk not being as popular - used - and distributed as the Masters Blue chalk.

Heard a comedian the other day:
Man wtf? I aint had mcdonalds in years, been longer since i cleaned my car though. I cleaned my car the other day, found a mcdonalds french fry in it. That fryl looked the same as the day i bought it.., so tell me, how nasty does food have to be for bacteria to say ' naw, i dont eat that shit'.

Some place around here is at least one thread recommending drying chalk in the oven before using.

Ok. U may very well be right. But I have seen alot of chalk, particularly among the other color chalks that were not green or blue, and found that alot of those chalks were not of a consistent quality, and consistency in feel when applying and using those chalks to be chalks that I would never care to use. And I certainly would never recommend to any other players.
