    Hey, Mr. Believe it or not. The color choice for the names, Childish Gambino, and Post Malone have little contrast with the background color, making it difficult to read. I think that can be better.

    How long has this practice in NJ of “sell by” labels on everything been going on?

    I know for Childish Gambino it was a Wu-Tang Clan name generator. I wonder if Post’s was the same source.

    Regarding the expiration date, the first time my wife, who is South Korean, went with me into the base commissary, she was shocked to find that the jarred honey did not have an expiration date. Evidently, South Korea and New Jersey’s laws are similar!

    There is a story that Lady Gaga (Stefani Germanotta) stage name came a spellcheck correction from when she was having a text message from her agent who was writing about Queen’s album, Radio Gaga.

    What is the Sell by Date on the USA? China has been asking.

    I had read that the sell-by dates is because of the plastic bottle decomposing, not because of the water itself.

    In the very long run all names are randomly generated. ~ Philosopher Fred, hey it’s “medical pot, man and we need laws man…. coff…"

    Take care, may hippo feces observer Professor Gail “Look At That Tail Go This Was Well Worth The Plane Ticket From Scotland” McScatord be with you, and gesundheit.

    Hippos would be great for fertilizing lawns except for the deep footprints.

    Using the online rap name generator, I came up with Inspectah Mindjob. Maybe you will have better luck

    Leave it to New Jersey to also mandate an expiration date on 100,000 year old Pink Himalayan salt….

    Sweaters? The oil is still absorbed through their skin. Why not just use a detergent on the penguins? Then, just wash it off. Duhhh …

    Thankfully, I cannot read the rap names because of the typeface used.

    Everything?

    Good thing all the dogs in the neighborhood don’t do that.

    When you greet a hippo on the street, you might ask if he is happy to meet you or just taking a dump.

    Toddler, to infant. “Why does your bottom say USE UNTIL FEB 2041.”

    “I was boy’in in Joy-sey”

    It must be handy for insurance purposes to know when you are going to expire.

    With the range that they scatter over, a hippo aficionado needs to be careful or else the $* might hit the fan.

    If the spring water has been around for a few million years why put a use by date of, say 2 years? Make it by 31 January 3526!
