Last night we had the pleasure of having dinner at our newly married friend’s house and they used their nicer crystal glasses for the occasion. As with our own crystal that is now almost five years old, they had made a feable attempt to remove the stickers on the sides of the glasses that advertise the brand of the crystal, but like use, no amount of washing, scraping, and scrubbing can get the damn things off.
In fact, just like ours, they managed to get only about HALF of the sticker off, making the otherwise nice glasses a) look like shit and b) feel very strange on your lip if you happened to drink from the side of where the sticker had been.
This lead us to wonder, why the hell do they put stickers like this on the nicer crystal? Everyone I know who has this stuff from their wedding has some remnant of the sticker still stuck to their glasses. No dishwasher on the planet can remove them, and even scrubbing and WD-40 doesn’t get them off. Also, how the hell DO you get the sticky crap off these glasses without ruining the glass itself?
