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.
