What do you do with those tiny lables that come on produce?
tiny lables
i havethem stuck all over a cabinet. The kids wear them sometimes too....
I stick them on the back of the crazy ole cat's head.
Into the trash!

Quoting:
The kids wear them sometimes too
That is so true!
Oh, I stick them with my paper recycling.
Are you supposed to remove them??!!
Did you see that new story last year about the little girl with the cough? they couldn't figure out why she had this constant cough, come to find out she swallowed one of those labels and it was stuck in her throat.
OMG! Who woulda thought?!!!!
Jen, aren't they kinda small for going in the paper recycling? I recycle all my paper here, junk mail, etc. I hate to throw anything in our landfills that could be recycled.
Karen
Are you serious, Jen?!!
I'm serious I recycle.
I had a collection of banana brand labels once. I kept it on paper and I had quite a few different ones. Boy, did I have time to kill in the old days or what?
I definatly need a life if this thread occured to me
LOL!
Karen
If it occurred to you, Jo??!! You're not sure?
i stick them in the trash - and i've bitten into a few that were hiding on my one a day granny smith apple too, mostly when there were two stickers and i only look for one.
how annoying
Never bitten one.
Cooked a few
lol me too. I make my own applesauce and occasionally it is flavored with labels. My foley food mill catches them though before they get to the final product.

Garnish. I always wondered why they stuck them on. Now I know.
Little works of art for your fruits and veggies!
Martha
I think they carry a id code in case the customer buys pomegranets at 3dollars a pound and weighs the bag using the store code for apples at .25 cents a pound.(just an example ,dont ask if apples are that cheap here)
OOOPS forgot to explaine
Our local groceriestore Wegmans, allows the customer to choose and weigh their own produce.Sometimes customers cheat .
From a hoarder, they would make a nice collection :-)
I knew I loved Wegman's! But I hate those labels---cut a lemon slice for my tea, never saw the label, had to fish it out & start again---and what's to prevent someone from spitting on the fruit, then sticking on the label? UGH
ewww!
OMG Marilyn never considered that.
Can you bleach fruit?
We should always wash any produce.
I think stronger cootie protection is in order ge in this case.
We used to do, 'Jax, one, two, three, four, five!' That would properly protect us from cooties.
Here goes. Saying 'Jax, one, two, three, four, five' to this pear
Bummer. I killed it.
death of a pear is such a sad thing
Too funny! I'm lucky the pears came from our tree---a little disfigured, but tasty, & no pesticides!
OHHHHH that pear tree.
Made a nice painting I gotta say.
I SO want a pear tree but you have to have 2 for cross pollination methinks.
Yes - a pair.
Starks sells one that has 2 varieties grafted for xpollination!
Thats the one I have and they must be good cause the squirrells get to them before I ever do. Rat tailed bums!
Hmmm..... pairs!
I don't think those labels would stick very well if you spit on the fruit before putting them on.
Karen
Hi Jadajoy, I just planted one of those pear trees this past spring. When did you plant yours? I guess I'll have to invest in some netting, huh?
