I had a pack of cupcakes one day while sorting cards. Ate one, got busy, got pulled away for other stuff, forgot the cupcake.
Next time I could get back to the sorting was about three weeks later. The cupcake still seemed fine. Figured I'd leave it and see, expecting mold to start soon after. Checked it occasionally........Three YEARS later when we were moving the bookcase it was on to get a room ready for my first daughter, I finally threw It away. It was still soft, still smelled fresh, and the only thing that seemed to have happened was that a bit of the frosting had fallen off.
(Yes, sometimes I do crazy experiments. Someone has to do them. )

I have full Jello boxes some with the Jello still in them. Hockey and baseball cards. I have full cereal boxes with cereal still in them and Kraft Macaroni and cheese without the contents.

Unused bread wrapper and Jumbo Sunflower with Ken Griffey Jr inside both

I have a couple dozen Topps Gum tabs and a number of their early card issue penny packs from 1939-49 with the gum still intact-it's basically inert. Add a little more sugar though, like my late 50's/early 60's Bazooka packs and things get messy, so anything sweet might be a problem no matter what the packaging.
