I found an old chocolate easter egg today and when I looked at the lable I saw it's hungarian (well, I'm 99% sure it is). The only thing it said was:

Minõsegét megõrzi: 2001.08.04

Now, I suppose that since õ doesn't exist in Hungarian, it must be ó, ö or ő (most likely the last one).

I'm also wondering about it's meaning: is it the best-before date or the date when the chocolate egg was made?

(Don't worry.. I'm not going to eat it. )

[CoBB]

minőségét megőrzi = best before (lit. 'it keeps its quality')

Unfortunately, lately even brand new chocolate eggs are inedible... I wonder what they are made of.

The date of manufacturing would be usually denoted by 'készült' ('made') or 'gyártási idő' ('time of manufacturing').

Thanks a lot, CoBB
