I'm not at all superstitious either, but I do enjoy superstitions. In my office that box would become a display item. Good find!
It would be interesting to know how many others of that same product were made the same day/minute or whatever to garner that expiration stamp. I'd write a few letters with pictures enclosed. Ought to provide customer service agents with a chuckle.
The only things I can name of my own that would be close to supertitions generally have to do with my impatience. They feel more like being set up in a Truman Show situation than a superstition. Traffic is a common theme.
One that regularly amuses me is getting into my car. My residential street is busier than some but not bad. Maybe 2 cars/minute. I park on the street so have to walk to the traffic side to get in. Why is it that every time I go to get in, another car is approaching around the bend such that I have to hustle or wait?
Blame it on the man in the moon.
