Anyone know what this is the barcode for? And why anyone would collect barcodes? What are they going to do with them? What could anybody do with them?
93 is the usual UPC code for an Australian company.
Can you get a proper print of it and take it to a Target/BigW/Kmart barcode checker machine?
There are a couple of barcode databases I know about.
Barcodepedia, which finds that it’s iceberg lettuce.
and
UPC Database, which finds that it was manufactured by Woolworths/Safeway, but doesn’t have the actual item in it’s database.
I have no idea why anyone would want to collect barcodes. It makes no sense at all to me!
Josh, why were you wanting to know anyway? I’m intrigued.
Because I can’t figure out why anyone would want to collect barcodes. I can’t figure out the use of it. Except, perhaps, for a retail store that wants to sell stuff but can’t be bothered entering it in themselves. Or one of those auto-inventory fridges.
If you’re asking about the barcode, I was hoping someone would point to the place I’d discovered (Barcodepedia), and entered the iceberg lettuce. Next week: bread (perhaps).
Aaah, so it was a test of our google abilities. Do I win a prize?
An iceberg lettuce!
I’ve found a use, but failed to use it this way: provision of proof-of-purchase barcode. I wanted to enter a competition where to prove purchase you need to enter the last six digist – but I couldn’t find the product. Curses!
