The Cobalt-60 in that cinnamon stick has a half-life of about 5 years. It says it was made in 1963 so with the drop in radioactivity you've probably got a few months left to live!
12 half lives is 4096x drop in radioactivity.
Which is why they have a few months to live, and not a few minutes.
Your overestimating the lethality of radiation. The "Demon Core" guy lasted 9 days. The firefighters from Chernobyl lasted a month. The only criticality events that I can find with immediate fatalities also involve steam explosions.
For those who know, steam is scarier than radiation or fire.
I think you're reading their comment too literally. I think it's meant as a joke that the stick is nearing its "EOL", not the person holding it, but they're wilfully misinterpreting it.
I don't know what commenter meant, but it's important to spread accurate information about radiation and nuclear tech.
Personally I wouldn’t be holding that rod long enough to read the date and do the maths. Just out of healthy caution.
it says drop and run, do that first.
I'm just explaining the joke.
i went down a rabbit hole on cobalt 60 after seeing this. Cobalt 60 can actually kill you in less than an hour from acute exposure.

OP ate that stick with the Kellogs™
Burned my whole index finger with microwave-heated vegetables.
