Expiration Date or Born On Date?

Do you want to know when something was made, or when it'll expire?

Ex: Some beers have a 'Born On' date letting you know how fresh it is. Most products, such as milk and other edibles, have an expiration date.

Poll: Which do you prefer?

    I prefer to know whether or not it's a born on date and not an expiration date... most just stamp the damned date on there, leaving you to guess !

    born on lets you decide whether it's bad or not, based on experience.

    expiration dates can tell you how long a product lasts and can be a hint that unnatural substances to preserve freshness are present.

    i think expiration dates are more useful.
