From the third sentence in the wiki page:

It is, however, so extremely reactive that it is not encountered in everyday life.

So yeah, not at all stable.

Well, it seems Wikipedia was wrong at least about the second half of that sentence

To be fair, most people won’t buy this specific drink.

I was about to say, you got way too many things that absolutely will bond with that with no hesitation. Thats a very unstable molecule.

I would thing the plastic lining in that container would probably be high on the bonding list, but I haven’t taken a chemistry class in 24 years.

But wait, from further down:

It is stable enough to observe reactions with NO and NO2

We now have a lower and upper bound for its reactivity at least:

able to observe reactions with NO and NO2 ≤ Reactivity < encountered in everyday life
