6 Comments • I’m in charge of rotating the candy for a retail store and to save time I made an android app the converts these secret dates. You type in the 2 3 or 4 digit code and it spits out a readable date. 3160 = June/09/2013 312 = Mar/20/2013 3L = December of 2013 The app is free on the Google play store just search Eastwestmain or Code Date Converter Thanks Jeremy Comment by Jeremy — June 19, 2013 @ • Thanks Comment by Richard Saunders — June 19, 2013 @ • What is the product shelf life from the manufactured date? Comment by wayne Lintz — July 5, 2014 @ • Wow. Do you know how to convert a bundle of digits on the Tootsie Rolls bag? It reads: F 27 4 1 3 3 05:59. I take it the last 4 digits represent the time of the production.
F could be the month (April), and 27 could be the day? What about the rest of them? Comment by Yumm — October 14, 2014 @ • This is what I’m thinking. The F 27 (might) represent the date that is April 27.
Now on to 4133. 4 could refer to a certain facility where the candy was made; 13 = year 2013; the last digit 3 = 3rd shift as is further supported by the time 05:59 that is a minute short of 6 am. I wonder if I got it right. Comment by Yumm — October 14, 2014 @ • On the hersheys candy bar.expire date I only can see 2016 and can’t see the letters???

• • How long cosmetics are fresh? A shelf life of cosmetics depends on a period after opening and production date.
Period after opening (PAO). Some cosmetics should be used within a specified period of time after opening due to oxidation and microbiological factors. Their packaging has a drawing of an open jar, inside it, there is a number representing the number of months. In this example, it is 6 months of use after opening. Production date.
Unused cosmetics also lose their freshness and become dry. According to EU law, the manufacturer has to put the expiration date only on cosmetics whose shelf life is less than 30 months. The most common periods of suitability for use from the date of manufacture: Perfumes with alcohol - about 5 years Skin care - minimum 3 years Makeup - from 3 years (mascara) to more than 5 years (powders) Expiration dates may vary depending on the manufacturer.
