The time has come.
After just having turned 18, and thereby ascending from the title "KABOB" to an

Is there anything better that I can do? Anything bad that typically happens over

that should help lower risks of damage.

to do it, but assuming that the yellowing is just a chemical reaction, it might
slow it down.
Any tips or suggestions in anyway related to long-term packaging?
Thanks,
Dan
