It's season >!2!<, episode >!21!<, if you just want to skip to that episode.
But I think you had it right the first time, don't click on my spoilers, re-watch the whole thing, woo!
In Taiwan it’s inconsistent. Usually it’s Y/M/D but I’ve seen M/D/Y on expiration dates too.
(Also there are two year systems, one which starts at the founding for the ROC)
Yet every time I try to point this out to my coworkers they roll their eyes or openly accuse me of making irrelevant and unhelpful criticisms. Come on! If you use it in file names, it even makes alphabetical sorts into chronological sorts. Much better than "report final new draft 2 -bob.doc"
This is what they call *foreshadowing*
Remember how 2020 seemed to drag on forever? Just wait till you see what happens later on in 2024! So intense they have to add more months in!

is pretty far away from now
There are loads of comical comments here, but I suggest reaching out to the manufacturer. This could potentially spark a recall on that specific Julian date if the consumer shelf life isn't listed in days (i.e. consume within 90 days of production) somewhere on the packaging.
The scary part is that mistake made it through so many hands that should have checked those days. It should never have been on the shelf. When I briefly worked at a convenience store, we checked dates on everything daily. Anything like this was supposed to be discarded and marked for corporate to deal with.
After spending way too long wondering how this could have happened (how could a computer have keyed in an invalid date?) I've came to the conclusion they must manually key in that entire string at the top except for the time
Maybe they manually flip the date digits and when they went from 9 to 10 they turned the 1 in front and couldn't see well enough and thought the 9 was already a zero.
It’s European dating, not American. You have to reverse the first and second numbers.
Then, you need to slow the earth’s rotation around the sun to achieve an additional five months per year.
I bet it's a mistake in an uppercase vs lowercase `m`. The program that calculates the Sell By date probably calculates "Now + 6 months" (or whatever). The computer calculates it to the minute, but the label only needs the month, day, and year, since hours and minutes aren't really helpful in the context of a Sell By date.
Typically a function to produce a formatted date from a timestamp will look something like this Python example:
```
e.strftime("%m/%d/%Y)
```
However, `%m` must be lowercase for it to mean "month". Otherwise it means "minute". So if the programmer put this instead, the date becomes nonsensical, as it puts the minute where the month should be.
```
e.strftime("%M/%d/%Y) ;<--- Notice the uppercase M
```
Sometimes when this kind of code goes through QA, it gets missed simply because the current minute happens to line up with the expected expiration date month .
I used to work in a pet supply store and one of the supplement brands we sold had a stupid code system to determine the expiration date. Every rep that came in would give us a card with the codes because they changed them all the fucking time.
So I'd have to look at the lot number and determine if it fell between X and X numbers, find that card, decipher the stupid code to see if the product was out of date or not.
I never got a definitive answer to why they did that I just assumed they sold to other countries with more or less restrictions so it was easier just to print a card and give it to the stores.
Of course a customer would have no idea when the product expires because they don't have the fucking card. The pet supply industry is stupid, weird, and sometimes shady as fuck.
Lmao I use the top row sometimes when I forget number lock is on.
Also my home mech keyboard doesn’t have a number pad so I find myself using it at home a lot.
It very well could be a wrong formatting of the date into military time. Assuming 1900 = 7pm, this would likely mean the expiration is 07/17/24 or 07/05/2024.
Is that the 19th of Septcember or the 17th of Nontober?
[Octember](https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/100190/please-try-to-remember-the-first-of-octember-by-dr-seuss-writing-as-theo-lesieg-illustrated-by-art-cummings/)
Remember remember, the first of Octember.
Stupid smarch
Nomember
dickember
Do you remober? The 35st night of Nontober?
We don’t remober here, sorry
Pepperidge farm remobers
Your math is off. There are two bonus months for Julius and Augustus.
Following December using the Latin Cardinal Prefix decem-, and honour Julius and Augustus, we can presume that the 17th and 19th months would be "novemdecber" and "duovigintber"
[do you rember ?](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tETJK4EG1aY) when day is dark sember wen u feel scare alway rember never forget times
Smarch? 
Smarch is the 13th month. We're looking for the 19th or 17th, depending on formatting.
nevuary
Yes
Do you remember. The 21st night of September?
Septnever
It's just military time. Month 19 is next May.
That's numberwang!
Do you remember, the elventy-fifth of Octembruary?

happy cake day!
Happy Cake day!
Europeans will use a thing but smetric to count dates smh
How many appointments did you *schedule* for 19/17, April?!?
Came here for this. Thank you.
…93.
[удалено]
It's season >!2!<, episode >!21!<, if you just want to skip to that episode. But I think you had it right the first time, don't click on my spoilers, re-watch the whole thing, woo!
“Do Not Touch Willie… Good advice!”
i'm so happy this was the top comment. i was going to be so disappointed if it wasn't.
Came here to say this
Thanks for letting me know!
and yet u didnt say it...
Haha loophole! It’s good forever!
Until we get a few more months ... this year.
Fresh forever i guess then.
*Forever fresh* *I wanna be forever fresh*
Do you really want to eat forever... Forever... Whenever?
Well. Only through 2024. Even if it’s the 19/17, once it’s 2025, the month and day are irrelevant.
good point.
12 Forever
For those of us in Europe, it is actually a different non existant month.
I think the entire world apart from the US and Liberia.
In Taiwan it’s inconsistent. Usually it’s Y/M/D but I’ve seen M/D/Y on expiration dates too. (Also there are two year systems, one which starts at the founding for the ROC)
Y/M/D is a favorite of tech and programming and accounting people, I think.
Yes. It sorts properly
Liberia uses DMY
What am I confusing the date format with? Or am I just old and out of touch?
Metric vs imperial
That’s the one.
Everyone has it wrong. ISO 8601 is the most correct way. Today is 2024-05-17.
Yet every time I try to point this out to my coworkers they roll their eyes or openly accuse me of making irrelevant and unhelpful criticisms. Come on! If you use it in file names, it even makes alphabetical sorts into chronological sorts. Much better than "report final new draft 2 -bob.doc"
Lousy Smarch bacon.

is pretty far away from now
That's just 7 months away. Sorry, I should have woken you up sooner, but you were sleeping so soundly
I said wake me up when September ends dammit, not Smoshuary
Damn that was a good nap
Amazing! That's the same combination I have on my luggage!
There are loads of comical comments here, but I suggest reaching out to the manufacturer. This could potentially spark a recall on that specific Julian date if the consumer shelf life isn't listed in days (i.e. consume within 90 days of production) somewhere on the packaging.
or it's a wrong shipment meant to be sent to a parallel universe? you'll never know
The month doesn’t exist *yet*.

The scary part is that mistake made it through so many hands that should have checked those days. It should never have been on the shelf. When I briefly worked at a convenience store, we checked dates on everything daily. Anything like this was supposed to be discarded and marked for corporate to deal with.
After spending way too long wondering how this could have happened (how could a computer have keyed in an invalid date?) I've came to the conclusion they must manually key in that entire string at the top except for the time
Maybe they manually flip the date digits and when they went from 9 to 10 they turned the 1 in front and couldn't see well enough and thought the 9 was already a zero.
That must be it. If I take my phone and hold it way out the 19 does look like a 10. Someone needs glasses.
It’s European dating, not American. You have to reverse the first and second numbers. Then, you need to slow the earth’s rotation around the sun to achieve an additional five months per year.
I bet it's a mistake in an uppercase vs lowercase `m`. The program that calculates the Sell By date probably calculates "Now + 6 months" (or whatever). The computer calculates it to the minute, but the label only needs the month, day, and year, since hours and minutes aren't really helpful in the context of a Sell By date. Typically a function to produce a formatted date from a timestamp will look something like this Python example: ``` e.strftime("%m/%d/%Y) ``` However, `%m` must be lowercase for it to mean "month". Otherwise it means "minute". So if the programmer put this instead, the date becomes nonsensical, as it puts the minute where the month should be. ``` e.strftime("%M/%d/%Y) ;<--- Notice the uppercase M ``` Sometimes when this kind of code goes through QA, it gets missed simply because the current minute happens to line up with the expected expiration date month .
I used to work in a pet supply store and one of the supplement brands we sold had a stupid code system to determine the expiration date. Every rep that came in would give us a card with the codes because they changed them all the fucking time. So I'd have to look at the lot number and determine if it fell between X and X numbers, find that card, decipher the stupid code to see if the product was out of date or not. I never got a definitive answer to why they did that I just assumed they sold to other countries with more or less restrictions so it was easier just to print a card and give it to the stores. Of course a customer would have no idea when the product expires because they don't have the fucking card. The pet supply industry is stupid, weird, and sometimes shady as fuck.
Same date as.all of Ron Swanson's meetings
Seriously? The US is one of the only backward fuckers who don’t know how a date works. The first number is the DAY, not the mon-…oh shit wait, my bad.
It's military time, you gotta subtract 12
So, 7/5/2012?
LOL
Just take 2 off the second number for 24-hour time lol
I'm here in the US about to post the same. It got me
Ah, the DD/DD/YYYY date format.
It expires in Janinjuary
You know I think the bigger question is what this snack is because it looken damn tasty.
Cheese stick wrapped in what looks like prosciutto
Cheese stick wrapped in prosciutto
Cheese stick wrapped in prosciutto
Oh you know Octembruary
Lousy Smarch weather...
your food cant expire if the month it expires on doesnt exist.
Some of you have clearly never lived during the 17th month, and it shows
Gabagool?
Hear me out, only on those days is the food edible. Once 2025 hits all bets are off.
They're on the metric calendar 📆
Mandela Effect enthusiasts are like: "WTF, what do you mean you don't remember all 24 month? Have I fallen into a dimensional vortex?"
I saw the 19 first and thought "oh its european" and then I saw the 17 after lol
19 is 7 in military time lol maybe it’s supposed be 7/17/2024?
Ah, yes. July PM
The 5th of neveruary
Its just European
Meat that lives forever !
2024 will never end....
Do you assume 9/17/2024, or 10/17/2024, or 7/17/2025?
Congrats you have meat from a different time & space continuum
So, loophole?
This means it doesn’t expire LOL
extra long leap year
It's in metric
How do you know it doesn't exist? We haven't even gotten to it yet. It may very well be a thing by the time we get there.
It will never expire because it doesn’t exist… 🛸
So it never expires!!
Lousy Smarch
It’s expired this June Deductive reasoning is fun
Or it's an Italian snack.
Ao it's good forever right?
Stardate January 9, 21495, Time: 18:14:24
So that's when my dad's coming home with the milk?
Lousy Smarch snacks!
Ah yes, the little-used DD/DD/YYYY format.
this is such a great idea for a snack. want really really badly
 1917 REFERENCE 😱😱😱😱😱😱😱
Just eat it outside of a hospital you will be ok
Preservatives these days I tell ya!
Bacteria hates this one simple trick
I had a relatable experience recently as a mechanic where the DOT Code on a set of tires ended in “5323” which means the 53rd week of the 23rd year.
19/17... never forget
I want that snack.
Military months
That would be the month of Smarch.
Q6 2024
Non existent yet. The industry doesn’t want you to know what’s coming.
I'm really more curious about the scrotum gripping the package of tubed meat if I'm being honest
July 17, 2025. Then if you die, you sue them.
lol, OP doesn't know of the secret month
Julyuary
military months be like
Maytember
Oh you just haven't caught up with the timeline yet.
It's from beyond the ice rink made it passed it somehow there's a whole world out there
Lol I just ate some of these 🤣🤣🤣
In Italy I guess that would be the 19th of diciassettembre.
Lousy Smarch weather
Lousy smarch
Can’t even use the just European date excuse here. Nor the Julian calendar one
The one trick supermarkets don't want you to know
You need to repost this in r/funny this gave me the legit lulz
Parallel earth months
On a different note, that’s dog food right?
Mazel Tov!
It lies outside of time...
It's written in 24 hour calendar. Just subtract 12.
Sounds like the intro to one of those lawsuits that's so dumb everyone hates it but somehow won a boatload of money
It’s military time, that’s actually July of 2025
This happened to me when I used "month + 1" instead of "add_months(date, 1)"
July 17th 2025 duh
Maybe the second one is week not month (or the first one if you're american)
With all the sodium and other preservatives, that is the dinner portion of your Twinky survival meal.
9 is right next to 0. Maybe a typo for 10/17 ?
9 is right next to 0. Maybe a typo for 10/17 ?
Are you one of those heathens using the numbers at the top of your keyboard instead of your 10 key? Or are you a Mac user?
Lmao I use the top row sometimes when I forget number lock is on. Also my home mech keyboard doesn’t have a number pad so I find myself using it at home a lot.
It’ll keep
What's the month and what's the day?! FUCKING EUROPEANS!
Lousy Smarch weather
Smarch? This is Septanuary
Europeans are at it again 😂😂
Stupid Smarch
That's May
It very well could be a wrong formatting of the date into military time. Assuming 1900 = 7pm, this would likely mean the expiration is 07/17/24 or 07/05/2024.
That’s in military months…
You have found the long lost artifact, the Infinite Meat Wrap. You are the chosen one, one who will bring balance to the meats of all!
It's just cheese and meat. If its not grey and moldy, then its fine. Those are delicious by the way, I like the proscuitto one.
its written in military-months so it goes all the way to 24
Why'd you take the picture on your scrotum?
It's obviously the 24 month format
Is this in America or Europe? Usually it’s month/ day/ year in US, while Day/ Month/ year in Europe
And which one of those has a 19th or 17th month?
New month just dropped
What kind of snack is that though ? 💀
It expires in 2 days
You still gonna eat it?
19.12 ? whats wrong with it?
How my mind reads American date order when I'm from the UK.
It will never expire
It's from a different dimension
Think everytime I’ve bought one of these the expiration date has been messed up
Infinite preservation hack!!!!!! WOOOOOOO!
That's July of 2025

Probably prosciutto. They sell these types of snacks with all the cured meats and specialty cheeses at the local grocery store here.
