Can you tell the difference between an apple and an organic apple?
I ignore produce stickers. They don’t get in the way when I peel a orange or banana.
I also ignore stickers on household cleaners, cereal boxes etc.
I remove stickers on glassware and items that I’ll use long term. I wouldn’t want a sticker or label left on a lamp or clothing.
Clothing tags bug me. It’s such a pain cutting them off.
Sometimes the stickers are on the peel of a banana which gets removed and put into the compost bin. We eat butternut squash that we grow, so no sticker, but if we bought it we might get sticker in with the skin which you remove before cutting it into cubes.
Not close to produce, but some used bookstores put easy to remove price stickers on their books (yay!) and others put impossible to remove ones on (boo!) I remove them unless doing so would damage the cover more than it was damaged by sticking an impossible to remove sticker on.
I collect books and so I care. If I was going to donate or resell them, I wouldn’t.
I get your point, but IME the organic apples look less pretty.
Me too!
I was going to say avocados, but I couldn’t remember if they sell those.
I don’t buy organic stuff usually
They can print edible labels on stuff now but stickers are probably still more cost effective. I remove then just before use. I haven’t found any all that difficult to remove from produce though occasionally it’s hard to get them off a tomato without tearing the skin.
Drives me crazy that C-clamps often have a sticker attached to the threads on the clamping mechanism. They don’t peel off easily and residue left on the threads can collect dirt and jam up the clamp. If it’s a peelable sticker on a flat surface I don’t mind, otherwise I’m annoyed if I have to spend time cleaning up from a sticker.
