maybe I'm just getting lazy these days, but fuck it - I eat 'em.

― kkvgz, Friday, 14 January 2011 13:13 (fifteen years ago)

why would you ever do this

Do you eat thecan around baked beans?

What... the hell.

― progressive cuts (Tracer Hand), Friday, 14 January 2011 13:20 (fifteen years ago)

I can understand not being sure whether you can be bothered to wash off the adhesive that the sticker sometimes leaves behind or just eat it anyway, but eating the whole sticker? Uh.

(Then again I do not even eat the rice paper under Chinese steamed buns, or at least not if it peels off neatly)

Man, maybe I'm in the wrong here. I'll admit it. It is pretty dirtbag. But that's why I'm asking you guys.

the stickers are usually made of plastic, so no.

i can see a world in which i might get lazy and eat a sticker if it was waxed paper tho.

Chewing the wrapper of Cinnaburst or Trident is one thing, but...

Oh now, that's nasty.

Why would you want paper in your chewing gum? At least the fruit labels are sort of the same consistency as say an apple skin.

― kkvgz, Friday, 14 January 2011 13:28 (fifteen years ago)

Do not peel sticker, but do not eat it either

peeling the sticker is one of life's small pleasures.

I hate it when you try to peel the sticker and the fruit underneath the sticker is overripe and you end up tearing off the skin completely. that's one of life's small anguishes.

― dayo, Friday, 14 January 2011 13:37 (fifteen years ago)

i know a chem professor whose life's work is inventing nontoxic adhesives for fruit stickers

maybe some other stuff too

― nakhchivan, Friday, 14 January 2011 13:39 (fifteen years ago)

I don't actually get why fruit needs a sticker on it in the first place.

^^ imagine the man hours that could be used to cure cancer but are instead used to put little stickers on apples. Just . . . why??

in some shops the stickers have bar codes on them

― the tune is spacecadet (c sharp major), Friday, 14 January 2011 14:45 (fifteen years ago)

Has a code number on it so supermarkets can type it in at the register and get the price.

My husband eats the skin of kiwifruit. But neither of us would ever eat the sticker, hell no that is disgusting.

I remember once I made dinner and forgot to peel the sticker off the green pepper I was chopping. I didn't notice until I found a chunk of pepper w/stick on it in the cooked meal. GROSS.

― franny glass, Friday, 14 January 2011 15:11 (fifteen years ago)

i eat the skin of kiwis (the fruits..) - it provides a tart sharpness that perfectly counterweights the sweetness of the meat. and no, it doesn't feel furry at all. no one else i have ever known believes me though.

― progressive cuts (Tracer Hand), Friday, 14 January 2011 15:24 (fifteen years ago)

okay, so here at the web's first fruit label site, they say that fruit labels are made of

opaque or transparent plastic film (food-grade polyethylene), paper, paper plus metallic foil laminate

so as long as I stay clear of the metallic foil laminate ones, I should be cool.

― kkvgz, Tuesday, 18 January 2011 11:15 (fifteen years ago)

To me eating eating the label is like leaving a piece of egg shell in your scrambled eggs.

Maybe we need a poll about that, too.
