Expiry dates on food, like cans and such that are written like this:

12-MA-13

Okay so did the food expire March 12, 2013 or was it May 13, 2012?

This drives me CRAZY, why can't you just type a four digit year, and a three character month!

And it's not like manufacturers all follow the same format, some do year first, and then month, and vice versa.

Speaking of expiry dates, how come all the food I grew up on that use to be 'non-perishable' started expiring. Is it for suckers like me to just throw out perfectly good food.?
