Things You'll Need:

• Arizona Tea product
• Calculator
• 12-month calendar

1. Step 1

   Locate the "manufactured by" date on your Arizona Tea product. On cans, this date will be on the bottom of the container. On bottles and jugs, it can be found near the neck of the container.

2. Step 2

   Understand how to read the Julian calendar code. For example, a "manufactured by" date stamp on a can of Arizona Tea that was recently purchased might read "285 09." This means that this particular product was manufactured on the 285th day of 2009, which a Google search or counting days reveals to be October 12th, 2009.

3. Step 3

   Know that the shelf life of can and glass Arizona Tea products is two years from the date of manufacture if unopened, 7 to 10 days if opened but refrigerated and 2 to 4 days if not refrigerated. For plastic jugs, the shelf life is 18 months from the date of manufacture if unopened, 7 to 10 days if opened but refrigerated and 2 to 4 days if opened and not refrigerated.

4. Step 4

   Determine the expiration date based on the date of manufacture and the product's shelf life. So, if the can of Arizona Tea that was manufactured on October 12, 2009, is unopened, then its date of expiration is October 12, 2011.

5. Step 5

   Remember that while it is important to check the labels of all food prior to consumption, it is also important to realize that in all companies, there is the potential for batches to spoil more quickly than predicted. Always smell a product before ingesting it, and trust your taste buds if a drink or food item seems to have spoiled before the projected expiration date.

Apparently there're 5 steps to figure out when Arizona Green Tea expires. OMFG!!

PRESS RELEASE: 37SIGNALS VALUATION TOPS $100 BILLION AFTER BOLD VC INVESTMENT Jason F. Sep 24 2009

CHICAGO—September 24, 2009—37signals is now a $100 billion dollar company, according to a group of investors who have agreed to purchase 0.000000001% of the company in exchange for $1.

Founder Jason Fried informed his employees about the new deal at a recent company-wide meeting. The financing round was led by Yardstick Capital and Institutionalized Venture Partners.

In order to increase the value of the company, 37signals has decided to stop generating revenues. “When it comes to valuation, making money is a real obstacle. Our profitability has been a real drag on our valuation,” said Mr. Fried. “Once you have profits, it’s impossible to just make stuff up. That’s why we’re switching to a ‘freeconomics’ model. We’ll give away everything for free and let the market speculate about how much money we could make if we wanted to make money. That way, the sky’s the limit!”

Proof that 37signals is now a $100 billion dollar company.

A $100 billion value for 37signals is “not outlandish,” says Aanandamayee Bhatnagar, a finance professor and valuation guru at Grenada State’s Schnook School of Business. Bhatnagar points to a leaked, confidential corporate strategy plan that projects 37signals will attract twelve billion users by the end of 2013.

How will the company overcome the fact that there are only 6.8 billion people alive today? “Why limit users to people?” said Bhatnagar.

In order to determine the valuation of companies, Bhatnagar typically applies the following formula: [(Twitter followers x Facebook fans) + (# of employees x 1000)] x (RSS subscribers + daily page views) + (monthly burn rate x Google’s stock price)² and then doubles if it they use Ruby on Rails or if the CEO has run a business into the ground before. Bhatnagar admits the math is mostly a guess but points out that “the press eats it up.”

To help handle the burdens of an increased valuation, 37signals hired former YouTube exec Craig Mirage as Chief Operating Officer earlier this month. Mirage hopes to replicate YouTube’s valuation success at 37signals. “Of course, the investment comes with great expectations. But you should see the spreadsheet models we’re making up. Really breakthrough stuff,” said Mirage.

“37signals will lead the new global movement filled with imaginary assumptions on growth and monetization potential,” he continued. “We’re excited to roll out a list of unconfirmed revenue possibilities that involve crowdsourcing, a robust set of widget creation tools, 3G, augmented reality, social stuff, and an app store. Also, everything we make will include a compass.”
