Stinky The Clown (1000+ posts) Wed Aug-19-09 10:03 PMOriginal message Gawdammed liddle bastids! Fruit and vegetable PLU stickers. What a pain in the ass. Good ones have weak sticky stuff. The awful ones are stuck like glue. Some have what seems to be temperature sensitive sticky stuff ..... they stick harder when cold and damp. Like on a red pepper. Or a tender pear. Remove them and the skin of the pear comes off. Or the paper separates from the glue and leaves a sticky mess on your pepper.I hate 'em.after which a photograph of a pear with a sticker on itBut then I read this. It seems they have a lot of info beyond a simple Price Look Up. Regular stuff has four digits. Organic stuff has five digits, with a leading 9. Genetically engineered stuff has a leading 8.Here, read all about 'em at this link. I know I learned something.http://missourifamilies.org/features/nutritionarticles/... I still hate the liddle bastids, though.

There's a code for GMO, and some things must be, but I have yet to see it.I find the little tags come off better in just about all cases if I remember to peel them off before I get the fruit/vegetable wet.Yeah, but bastids none the less. Found one on the bottom of my foot the other day.
Hmmm.I just noticed the sparkling husband primitive hasn't donated to Skins's fund-raiser.Grandma neither, but Grandma has an excuse, not being as affluent as the sparkling husband primitive.
A month or so ago, I posted a Bostonian Drunkard thread, and noted that he didn't have a star either. Although he has certainly fallen in "primitives of prominence", I still thought it was interesting.
Who shit in his corn flakes this morning?God, what an uptight bastard.
I was thinking the same. Shouldn't there be more to life than starting a thread about fruit stickers? (Such as laughing at someone starting a thread about fruit stickers?)
There's a reason why patriotism is considered a conservative value. Watch a Tea Party rally and you'll see people proudly raising the American flag and showing pride in U.S. heroes such as Thomas Jefferson. Watch an OWS rally and you'll see people burning the American flag while showing pride in communist heroes such as Che Guevera. --Bob, from some news site
Stymied by produce AGAIN.
Has Greenbriar been around? I wonder if she slunk off in embarassment...
These people have the most ridiculous complaints. I don't honestly think I've spent more than the 2 seconds it takes to peel them off of whatever fruit or veggie their attached to thinking about those labels. It takes longer for him to bitch about it than it does to remove the damn thing.Cindie
