http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Why_do_all_walkers_crisps_sell_by_dates_all_end_on_a_saturday Sell by dates on Crisp packets end on a Saturday for the licencing trade. This is because normally dry stock rotation in pubs and clubs in on a Friday, therefore, sell by dates are on a Saturday to ensure sales up to and including stock rotation day.

Post by: gatso on September 28, 2009, 09:30:59 PM I was sceptical but after my visit to my local tesco metro I have to report that it appears to be pretty much true
I found 8 different best before dates on crisps and all were saturdays the only exception was pringles who use the end of a month rather than a specific day I also checked 4 different types of nuts before I got bored. they were also saturday dates Title: Re: Why Does . . . . . ?
