bulknoob Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 I’ve done some Googling and can’t make sense of this date code, can any of you explain? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngryChris Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 The top code is what you want. I would need one in front of me to be sure as i can't read yours, but if it was say.. G7205xxx... G represents the month (July) and 7 represents the year (2017) and the next three digits are the date starting from day 1 (jan 1st) so 205 is the 205th day of the year (which might be in July. I just estimated for the example). Another example is A8013xxx. That would have been manufactured on January 13th, 2018. So if your code starts with a 6 (or older) then it's well beyond expired. Even most that start with 7 are expired if they are bottles. What i do is just look at the month and year.. cause G is definitely for July (and they don't use I or L.. one of those two). So i also know that July was around 8 months ago which is expired for bottles and nearly expired for cans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulknoob Posted March 2, 2018 Author Share Posted March 2, 2018 So for this one the B8033 in the bottom row seems to make more sense then, which would be Feb of 2018, 33rd day of the year, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arkhusker Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 When Coke used a code like that, it was a bottled date and you added 90 days to find the expiration date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
