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.
American here, that didn’t expire on February 29th, it will expire on the second of Viginti-September. Easy mistake to make.
Viginti-September 2 is my birthday!
When read in the only proper order, it translates (for the non-technical types), to February 23rd, 2029.
I think you'll find the 23rd of February exists. Fuck knows what preservatives are in those things to last a bit over 5 years.
Everyone's getting the dates wrong, it's clearly the 23rd month of 2902 👍
That can't be it either since 2902 isn't a leap year so it only has about a dozen months
You weren’t sent the last memo, in 2500 we’ll finally replace the current, broken time system with an evolution of Swatch’s Internet Time. Days are divided in 1000 tiny parts, and years are also adjusted. A 2501 years has 50 months, except for leap years that now have 60 months
This comment section turned out almost as chaotic and confused as the old one, it's actually quite impressive.
I mean, I'm sure just like "the other site" there are a bunch of folks just attempting to be funny. Some folks are really serious about date standards though, woof.
Just enjoy your timeless bagels and try not to go full Everything Bagel on us.
Remember, kids, not to ever compute dates yourselves. Use a library for that.
I've made that mistake a couple times, sending bills to people for things like April 31st. Have since swapped to letting python make calendars for me.
It's just seconds since unix epoch

Well that’s just February twenty ni- oh. I see.
My guess is they forgot to advance the year on the stamper. 290224 does exist.
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 ;)
Feb 29, 2023 is actually March 1, 2023.
lol at everyone missing that 2023 isn't a leap year and just getting confused by the European format.
Uh am I just special, because I saw February 29th 2023 immediately Isn't a lot of things formatted in the DD/MM/YYYY type especially for expiration dates
my sister got married on feb 29th. their 'second' anniversary is next year.
My uncle was born on Feb 29. We both had our 16th birthdays the same year.
The person marking them doesn't get paid enough to care.
23rd of February 2029?
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.
