    That "Best When Used By" is the perfect example of a web service that sounds useful but is actually totally impractical.

    "OK, I've put all the shopping in the fridge. Now to enter it onto BWUB… ah, I'll have to take it all out of the fridge again to check the use-by dates"

    "I've made you a cheese sandwich darling. Now hang on while I inform BWUB that you've eaten it"
