on the islamic calendar it will keep for about 100 years

[–]Vanillagorillas 35 points36 points ago

That is more then likely the time it was stamped, not the year

[–]Zachary9 18 points19 points ago

Well... Thats exactly what it is.

[–]Corrects_You 13 points14 points ago

*more THAN likely

[–]adidasaids 3 points4 points ago

They are actually using a metric calendar here.

[–]Corrects_You 1 point2 points ago

*calendar

[–]adidasaids 0 points1 point ago

Thanks!

[–]SpinningRoulette 88 points89 points ago

That's not even WTF material. More likely a misprint. /r/WTF in general need to stop being so sensitive.

[–]juusukun 15 points16 points ago

Its not a misprint... milk never puts the year on it just the month and date. There is never a question as to what year it is good until... its MILK

[–]SpinningRoulette 5 points6 points ago

Thanks for the clarification. I completely forgot about that. Gotta get my milk information straight!

[–]necrons_ftw 2 points3 points ago

IIRC, that's the batch number.

[–]Points_Out_Niggers 1 point2 points ago

Well then don't listen to him. This is antique milk, it's worth 50k at auction

[–]LARGELYdone 0 points1 point ago

I'm pretty sure that's orange juice..

What? Did you copy from the wrong tab?

[–]tripinbalz 6 points7 points ago

[–]Matt_McT 28 points29 points ago

This is barely even mildly interesting, let alone WTF. Downvote administered.

[–]Addy342 4 points5 points ago

I love Ip man!

[–]z1bbo 0 points1 point ago

Wow, this is great!!! First time I see this too, and I must say it's probably my favorite downvote gif so far!

[–]adidasaids 1 point2 points ago

Comment generated.

[–]Akiba89 0 points1 point ago

would have been better if it was that milk... from 1513

[–]adv0589 0 points1 point ago

Its not even a misprint who the hell needs years on their milk its a time stamp... how did so many people upvote this in wtf

[–]tacticalbread 16 points17 points ago

I think this is /r/mildlyinteresting as opposed to /r/WTF

[–]pstress 4 points5 points ago

This is now my new favorite subreddit. Thank you.

[–]unionponi 0 points1 point ago

That subreddit is great, and I didn't even know existed... like pstress said, Thank you!

[–]MTK67 6 points7 points ago

What's so weird about October 23, 1538, it's just... wait a second:

October 23

1538: 38 - 15 = 23

If you add up the digits in 10/23/1538, you get 23!

[–]fernmndez 4 points5 points ago

HALF LIFE 3 CONFIRMED.

Half Life 2: Episode 3

[–]ThePaco 22 points23 points ago

WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT!??!?!

[–]adidasaids 6 points7 points ago

Sarcasm received and noted.

[–]Riederbirk 8 points9 points ago

What is wrong with you

[–]ThePaco 14 points15 points ago

Oh, that's just the reaction I like to have when I come to /r/WTF

[–]glenlikespie 7 points8 points ago

I think "sarcasm" is the answer you are looking for.

[–]asshold 9 points10 points ago

How does such a crappy, barely interesting picture get reposted so often??

[–]Ricktron3030 2 points3 points ago

My guess is because most of reddit doesn't spend 24/7 on reddit like us.

[–]timewarne404 1 point2 points ago

That doesn't change the fact that the picture sucks ASS

[–]MonsterMunch69 3 points4 points ago

It's a product code number

[–]Taatero 4 points5 points ago

The dates aren't THAT specific. Just take a sniff, it might still be drinkable.

[–]lolspHD 4 points5 points ago

repost

[–]I_FISTED_MY_GRANDMA 2 points3 points ago

WHY IS THIS HERE. GET THE FUCK OUT.

[–]dattaway 2 points3 points ago

I used to maintain ink jet printers in a manufacturing plant. One time an operator discovered he typed a letter wrong at the end of his shift. Unfortunately, the labeling was regulated by certain government requirements. About $120,000 worth of product was then moved by forklift to the side of the building. There it sat for a few years, before finally discarded in the dumpster. Spelling is important.

[–]acpound93 1 point2 points ago

"Drink it, you pussy!"

[–]suppletwist 1 point2 points ago

Generally, they just print the month and day on milk cartons. Milk doesn't last long enough to require the year.

[–]Grappindemen 0 points1 point ago

But what if it's a leap year?

I bet you didn't think about that!

[–]MR_BLUEBALLS 0 points1 point ago

REPOST, FUCKING KILL IT QUICK!

[–]brezzz -1 points0 points ago

YOU HAD ONE JOB TO DO, OVER 4 CENTURIES OF EMPLOYEES.

[–]nipnip54 0 points1 point ago

[–]CinnamonToastCrack 1 point2 points ago

[–]chaukzero -1 points0 points ago

Just realized that's my birthday...

[–]MindSecurity 0 points1 point ago

Let me guess, it came from Florida?

[–]shaekspeare 0 points1 point ago

This is more up r/mildlyinteresting's alley.

[–]blevine1818 1 point2 points ago

Go home milk. You're drunk.

[–]kalleguld 0 points1 point ago

Yeah, sorry. I drunk it.

[–]sellherdoorcellardor 0 points1 point ago

super ultra mega pasteurization

[–]lebowskisweater 1 point2 points ago

OMG, GUISE! LOOK WHAT I FOUND! SOOOO WTF!

[–]Rogue_Toaster -1 points0 points ago

NSFL that shit

[–]schizodepressed 0 points1 point ago

In 2001, on a dare from a friend, I tried Diet Dr Pepper which had expired in 1995.

Protip: don't do that.

[–]BipolarShooter 0 points1 point ago

I guess someone just time traveled back 474 years just to get some water.

[–]johnly13 0 points1 point ago

I just saw a Japanese girl eject milk out of her asshole onto a guy on this subreddit. This post does not belong in the same subreddit as that one. I'd say this belongs in /r/mildlyinteresting

[–]Ricktron3030 0 points1 point ago

Well that beats the hell out of the orange juice post.

[–]stevieboy100 0 points1 point ago

repost shite

[–]The_R4ke 0 points1 point ago

Come back to us when you find milk that is actually 500 years old.

[–]ltjkid 0 points1 point ago

Don't act like they sold you super expired milk. How do we know that's not just a family heirloom that you've had for 500 years?

[–]burgersauce 1 point2 points ago

OH MY GOD WHATTHEFUCKWHTATTHEFUCKWHATTHEFUCK

[–]Operation_mongoose 0 points1 point ago

That cheese is gonna be strong!

[–]joshhinz 2 points3 points ago

The fact that this post has earned 700+ karma...

[–]HomoMilk_ 0 points1 point ago

is a testament to how much people love milk!

[–]whatitslike 0 points1 point ago

Never bought milk before?

[–]daddd 0 points1 point ago

WHOA MAN WTF. THAT IS SO FUCKED UP. WTFFFF!!!!!!

[–]kozdrasm 0 points1 point ago

[–]goosehysteria 0 points1 point ago

[–]lenswipe 0 points1 point ago

Go home labeling machine - you are drunk

[–]JohnEcastle 0 points1 point ago

Its still good.

[–]TheGribbler 1 point2 points ago

You'll either get really sick, or acquire super powers.

[–]Binsky89 0 points1 point ago

I once got a bottle of Minute Made that expired October 3009

[–]Kogasha 0 points1 point ago

Looks more /r/mildlyinteresting to me.

[–]calvannon 0 points1 point ago

Made in 1538. I should know, I was in 1539 and the noise kept me up all night.

[–]The_guy_behind_you 1 point2 points ago

Don't worry, i'm sure it's just some missing ink. It probably actually says 1953.

[–]maniamgood0 0 points1 point ago

Why is this on WTF?

[–]-b1934 0 points1 point ago

you're good to go man

I love how this is a repost from MY account...

I posted it 3 days ago... Well fuck you Vgore762

[–]lilangelfuck 1 point2 points ago

do milk cartons really need the year of expiration? its safe to assume that it will expire within a couple weeks of you buying it

[–]thehippothatwins -1 points0 points ago

Milk, go back to your own century. You are drunk.

[–]elvismcvegas -2 points-1 points ago

ITS NOT THE YEAR, YOU FUCKING RETARD!

[–]adidasaids 0 points1 point ago

Let's all have a leak.

[–]errmehgerd 0 points1 point ago
