Which Product Is Oldest?

- The first letter indicates the year the product was manufactured. For example: Q=2021, R=2021, S=2022, T=2023, U=2024, etc. (Note: The letter I and the letter O are skipped.)
- The next three digits indicate the day of the year. For example: 001=January 1, 152=June 1, 365=December 31
