Yeah, that's likely a PDF417 format barcode.

[Eugene]

A 2D barcode. Common on driver's licenses and a particular large shipping company

 

[Eugene]

Ah, and it's explicitly specified in the REAL ID act. Figures.

 

[Victorique]

Looks like a QR but not. Seems to not be used much anymore on food items but was used a lot on chips and sodas prior to a certain year

 

[Chase]

More secure than a QR code, but harder to read.

 

[Morgan]

Spoken like a true robot.

 

[Chase]

beep boop

 

[Chase]

QR codes hold more info, though... but like the internet, much of it is out there for anyone to just scan.

[Invader]

(Eugene you remind me of high school in that regard, just some things that went down.)
