Checking MCI Dates?

Post by SierraTangoDelta » Thu Feb 27, 2014 8:02 pm

Might have my first review in hand, but first wanted to check and see what date some of this stuffs from.

My referencecans are a Cinn. nut roll, ''2910" with a ''20'' above it, followed by a B-2 unit, ''4 80". Any ideas?
They may take our lives.... But they will never take,.. OUR NUTCAKE


Man... this Bev. Base tastes soapy.

With the B-Unit I´m absolutely sure, it is "April 1980". Nearly all B-Units, even the very early ones, are marked that way.

Is is possible to post a picture of the Cinnamon Nut Roll, maybe it means the day 291 of 1980: October 17 1980. If it is so, I could be one of the last MCI produced.
