I have no idea whatsoever what date that represents. Grrr, it's yyyy-mm-dd dammit, didn't people learn anything from y2k? Sigh, I want my Star Trek USB stick! I hope the offer expires in 2010, not 2006 or 1930.

Yeah, I've got two of those tokens... thing is I DO eat the cereal that fast.  I just wonder how much longer the promotion will last.

Oh, I've got one up on this...

my calculus and Physics notes from Highschool and college.  All were dated with stardates...

(C)(yy)(dd.d)

Century, last two digits of the year, and the date/365.2425.  Every 8 hours advanced the date by .1  :D

No one says you have to eat the cereal, you could always just clip the token(s) before you eat the stuff - 8 boxes of cereal is a lot - and just take your time with the foods while you wait the 90 or so days to get your toy!

FYI - at ~$3.00 a box, you can get one with 8 tokens for ~$24 or up to 5 (!) for ~$55 with 5 tokens.

P.S. I think if you knew someone who bought, ate the foods, and was not using the token you could lower the price for yourself. Esp. if you knew 8 someones!
