Check out my podcast with Brian from Real Engineering:

You know you've reached the bottom of the boredom barrel when you're sitting around reading barcodes.

[JosueDeerFox]

Me: That's a lot of math, I don't think anyone can..

I can’t believe the U.S. didn’t make their own versions of barcodes.

This whole series can be used as a study on how to make effective sponsorship transitions!

Instructions unclear, Agent 47 still strangled me.

[alejoparedes]

Is it me or every cool YouTube channel is now sponsored by Squarespace?

0:29 Notice how the building are smudgy? It's because it isn't a drone shot, rather a google earth capture.

Me: 👁️👄👁️

I knew barcodes were technically a font, but I didn't know that there was an organization of barcode overlords haha. great video!

Like half of the comments are about the absence of planes in this video.

[angusbookall]

Anyone else feel uncomfortable about the way he said Canberra?

I stumbled onto your channel today and I’ve been binge watching your videos and find them VERY interesting. Never thought I’d be watching a video explaining bar codes but here I am. 👍🏼

You should really distinguish between a barcode and a UPC (Universal product Code). What you described is a UPC, a type of barcode. There are many types of barcodes which are not UPCs, kind of like the way a square is a rectangle, but not all rectangles are squares. Some can be read from any direction, some can't, some are 2D and hold lots of information. Most types of barcodes do not need to be licensed to be used. I think it's really confusing to most viewers to imply that all barcodes work this way, or are organized in this fashion. There is also the matter of country code 4, which is reserved for "local" use and can be used by anyone without licensing. This is often used for things such as store loyalty cards.
