Yes I know this isn't very scientific.

I bought a large bag of yellow ones at a rally (many moons ago) and used them as decouplers in many projects. None of them lasted long, they went leaky or short and generally led me a merry dance.
I held on to them though, and tentatively carried on using them until they started going bang on first switch-on. Then they got chucked!
