Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

I originally posted this on the other site back when I took the picture, and it resulted in a lot of confused comments, especially from Americans, eventually getting removed by overzealous mods. Either way, I promise you that this date does not exist, and has never existed.

Sorry, but are you certain that number is both a date and the day it expires?

It could instead be a cash register code (perhaps a specific combination of ingredients), or the employee number for who made it (because Janet keeps fucking up, and Darma is sick of being blamed.)

Yes I am certain, I know how expiry dates are written on bread in Sweden, I lived there. This was also said on my last post, but I promise you, it's just an error and should have said March 1st.

People put these days on with a handheld price gun. So it's just someone who didn't realize the month didn't go that long.

Also why do these bagels last 2 more months? They usually last a few days.

They expired 10 months ago. 23, not 24

Or they got the year wrong unless you bought extremely expired bread or the much less plausible answer, this is an old picture.

Yes, that's definitely not very plausible, that this is an old picture ;)
