I just found some expired (Jul 2006) Poloroid 52 in my attic.

I normally refrigerate(everything) or freeze my(long term not going to use) film. But I think at the time I was concerned about freezing the developing chemicals with them, was going to make an effort to find out, then forgot about it.
Normally I wouldn't question using expired black and white film. I'm curious. I have no idea about expired Polaroid? What do you think? I'm going to use it anyway... but the questions is: Is it still usable? Thanks for your answer in advance.

Shoot a frame and see what it does. Make sure to note luminances so you can re-rate the film as needed.
 
I live to painfully point out the obvious, however elusive it may be from time to time. My pleasure and have a ball.
 
The pods will quite likely be dessicated. I'd expect pretty much white paper for the "print". But, it costs absolutely nothing to try, so it's definitely worth the try.
