Is my LiPo too puffed to be used now?

Is my LiPo too puffed to be used now?
What's annoying is the one on the far right has the least mileage and the far left is the opposite.....-_-!!!
The far right is 25MM thick, middle is 27 and far left is 30.
I can't remember exactly the model coz I peeled of the sticker but they're ProTeks.
Should I just dispose of it or should I try running couple of cycles through and see if it gets worse?

a buddy told me that he puts his in the freezer and they go down. I haven't tried it out though.

I would say to do the following.
1. do this on a weekend or your day off
2. use your lipo chargers cycle feature if it has one
3. set it to 1/3rd the amp rate of what you normally use to charge it
4. Set it to go through 5 cycles
5. Sit/work somewhere near it in case of a fire. (should have put it earlier, but do this in your unfinished basement, garage, or somewhere similar)
6. Do a balance charge at the end at the normal setting you charge at.
7. check puffyness and decide weather or not to use the pack.
if it goes through all that and is fine, I would still use it.
