Yeah I'm a real person, the name is just a reference to getting banned on Reddit many times, and then getting banned immediately across several discuss.online communities for hurting a mod's feelings. I guess if it's going to happen, might as well ask for it.
It's because some states require expiry dates on all food items, and they didn't think to create exemptions for things like this. I think only a couple of states require it without exemption, but no one wants two versions of their products, one with a date and one without, so they just put it on all items now, like the Prop 13 warnings.
