Remember when fruit stickers used to be paper and biodegradable? Now they're all fucking plastic because they need their logo to be shinier I guess.

Stickers on fruit would make me pick another variety.

Where I live the only fruits that don't have stickers are tomatoes.

That's sad. They have to pay to add useless stickers to all their produce. And that just ends up annoying everyone.

At least the stickers have the PLU on them, helps for self-checkout. So mostly useless

Bro even tomatoes have stickers where I am. I think pineapple is the only thing they haven't managed to slap a sticker on at this point.

I remember eating one of those biodegradable stickers once, it felt mildly uncomfortable.
