Cheez-It is a cheese cracker manufactured by the Kellogg Company through its Sunshine Biscuits division. Approximately 26 by 26 millimetres (1.0 by 1.0 in), the square crackers are made with wheatflour, vegetable oil, cheese made without skim milk, salt, and spices.
For Rock Band 3 on the Xbox 360, a GameFAQs message board topic titled 'Power of Love' is like an expired box of Cheez-Its.' Decoding food expiration dates. If the date on your bread or snacks has expired, it does not mean they have not gone bad. A Twinkie does not spoil, but loses some of its taste and flavor.
Cheez-It crackers were introduced in 1921 by the Green & Green Company, a manufacturer of snack crackers based in Dayton, Ohio, and were marketed using the tagline 'A Baked Rarebit.'[1] Sunshine Biscuits acquired Green & Green in 1932. Sunshine Biscuits became a subsidiary of the Keebler Company in 1996. Keebler, in turn, was acquired by Kellogg in 2001.

I could smell a rubbery, plastic odor when I opened the bag. Then, when I tasted one, it was clearly stale. So, my answer would be YES, fruit snacks can and do go bad. If it has a funky smell or weird taste, save yourself the ensuing stomach ache and toss the 75 cent bag.
