What is a 2D barcode? Wouldn't it make more sense to use RFID tags?

thats awsome, help me heaps, me a microwaves never really agreed with each other, with all the cooked cds and other metal objects to see FIREWORKS!!
ZPC - the people who made this are alot smarter than you and i think they would have thought of the best solution to use, so shut up and just admire the new technology that has been invented, stop being so critcal all the time FFS!

no, because not everything has a RFID tag. Barcodes are generally found everywhere.
I suspect the microwave will have a net connection so it can download food barcode updates :)

RFID tag? circuitry. this sort of implies metallic. metallic + microwave = entertaining, but not exactly wise.

I thought they made microwave-safe RFIDs. It would just make more sense, to me, to throw the bag in there and have it automatically read the signal, rather than scan some 2D barcode, especially as RFID's become more popular than barcoding.

it strikes me as somewhat weird that an apparent card carrying member of the tinfoil hat brigade (that would be you) would support RFID, a technology derided by other tinfoil hat members for being a way for 'the man to keep track of everything i do'

I'm still waiting for a single astronomer to show me photos of the moon landing sites, taken from the Earth.

I'm not arguing for RFID. I just think the Microwave company would be investing more sensibly in RFID standars, rather than 2D barcodes. You can fit much more information in an RFID chip, than a barcode, surely? Isn't RFID supposed to supercede barcoding? Why bake a cake on a sinking ship?
