did you know that its illegal to remove those stickers for health and safety reasons? |
|
| |
fishy for interfering with the government. |
|
| |
make the orange ones taste of apple and I will change my vote! |
|
| |
No, it's an idea - or actually three ideas. Your //fishy for interfering with the government// may inspire a rant though. |
|
| |
Here are the ideas:
a) Make labels out of edible products. Rice paper, soy ink, and vegetable gum comes to mind.
b) Place reusable masks on fruit while it grows. When removed, there will be a lighter portion with the required information.
c) Use a hot iron or laser to burn the number on fruit. |

late here, but I love the idea of an apple tasting orange sticker. pinch it or I will use it by Tuesday... |
|
| |
You mean those stickers aren't edible already? |
|
| |
No, really, I thought they should do something about this for a long time. I dunno about putting it on the fruit while it grows. Pretty herculean task. Lots of fruit is never individually handled anyway, and this seems to call for that. I vote for rice paper. |
|
| |
Personally, I like the laser branding. |
|
| |
and what will they sick the rice paper on with? i was thinking.. tuty-fruity glue.. |
|
| |
The stickers ARE edible already. I mean, it's paper. You can eat and be fine. Still, bun for wondering about those small things in life that people usually don't notice. |
|

It may technically be edible, but I certainly wouldn't want to eat it - texture alone. And if you don't eat it, then you have this little piece of paper with wet torn plum skin attached. What do you do then? Go and find a garbage for this tiny piece of trash? Hold on to it until you've eaten your fruit? Flick it at strangers? Ok, this last option is mildly appealing, but the others make life a little less enjoyable. |

This is one of those ideas that is five minutes too late. As noted on IBD, they* are about to start branding fruit, replacing labels altogether. |
|
| |
Yay! Thanks, [DrC]. I hope they start soon (maybe They were listening?). |
