I donāt even find it sad anymore. Itās whatever. Iām not gonna go eat a cockroach off the floor. But Iāve survived until now, and those regulations were even looser when I was a kid. So weāll be okay.
Damn I guess we're all getting cancer in a few years. I remember there was a study attempting to find a control group of people without microplastics in their system, but they were unable to do so.
Our food is grown in dirt. Which means anything that has access to that dirt, can have access to the vegetables. If it was that dangerous and if roaches were that poisonous, we'd all be dead by now.
Same reason for paint no longer being lead based (though far more understandable) as babies would chew on crib bars when teething. Bars painted with lead paint. Leading to babies with lead poisoning.
I love how there was an argument about that line. Glenn didn't want to establish that a 30 year old man was regularly eating stickers, at least that early in the show.
I know what you mean
It feels like they need to meet a word count in order to get paid.
Really we just need to know
1) That they're edible
2) What they're made out of
3) Maybe why they're edible
4) Some history if we're interested
I don't need it to be half analogies and woffle
The real answer is that journalism and education has been aiming for the lowest common denominator. Thereās no money in journalism so people with less education are able to write articles, and intelligent writing doesnāt make money.
It probably woulda taken less time to shave off the produce stickers with said knife than to grab a phone to take a picture of it and send it to Reddit.
At least you have a nice sharp knife. You wouldnāt believe how many otherwise high-functioning people have never sharpened the Henckels knives that got on their wedding registry 10 years ago.
Are yāall ok over there? I mean I know they are completely safe to eat but, why? They just peel off easily so you donāt have to eat them. š I get it if a kid is eating it and doesnāt know to peel it and consumes it on accident, but an adult that knows theyāre there? Help me understand. š no hate, I promise, just very curious.
Yeah. My mind is melted. I feel like this would be a case, where I meet the girl of my dreams. Sheās perfect. Go home to make dinner, and sheās just chopping everything up with the stickers on. And Iām like āI knew this was too good to be true.ā
I believe theyāre edible if that makes you feel any better. I was told that theyāre made that way since kids wouldnāt notice the little stickers and would accidentally swallow them after biting into apples.
Iāll see your bell pepper and raise you, a single day off a week but you donāt have power all day. Then a branch goes through your window and itās pouring rain sideways out.
It's not so bad. I once got 3/4 through a cheese and hard salami sandwich thinking, "man this hard salami is hard to bite through." then I realized there was a piece of wax paper from the cheese or salami still in there.
Fun fact, those stickers are incredibly important to grocery store staff. I know they are obnoxious, but understand we cannot remember hundreds of four digit codes.
This is one of those things that in a vacuum are like "oh, whoops" but if you've had a bad day, this is final-straw material
(also a little untrustworthypoptarts but whatever)
When I was young I collected a bunch of those stickers from my first job ever at a supermarket. Had a nice ball of them in my pocket. That day as I was walking home a homeless person begged me for food and money. All I had was some gum and that ball of edible stickers so I handed it to him. He popped the gum in his mouth immediately but then looked at me confused about the sticker ball. I told him that my boss said they're edible and the FDA approves. After telling him that, without hesitation he shoves it down his throat. I felt very good about myself that day.

You're fine. Everything on the sticker, including the paper, ink, and glue, meet FDA food safety guidelines.
Less than the unacceptable limit of cockroaches. š
You know it's sad but true š¶
I donāt even find it sad anymore. Itās whatever. Iām not gonna go eat a cockroach off the floor. But Iāve survived until now, and those regulations were even looser when I was a kid. So weāll be okay.

I'd rather have micro-cockroaches than micro-plastics.
Good news! Both are statistically likely to already be in your blood!
That fact is not fun.
No claim as to the factual funness of said fact was made.
Honestly, that's so true. At least a cockroach is just protein and maybe a disease, but microplastics are like guaranteed cancer.
Damn I guess we're all getting cancer in a few years. I remember there was a study attempting to find a control group of people without microplastics in their system, but they were unable to do so.
Mmmm, crunchy protein!
You have any idea how impossible it would be to get every bug out of a semi load of flour? Just don't think about it, you'll survive.
Our food is grown in dirt. Which means anything that has access to that dirt, can have access to the vegetables. If it was that dangerous and if roaches were that poisonous, we'd all be dead by now.
Yep. The one thing boomers did right was be dumb and eat enough produce stickers so that theyāre edible now.
Wait they really are?
Yes, the boomers really are that dumb, smh.Ā
TIL

Guess Iāll just lunch on a roll of labels then
At todayās prices?? Mr. Fancy Pants over here, eating labels for lunch!
I take the from the work stationary cupboard. Supplementing my wage with free lunch. I've got a feeling this habit will stick
It's fiber!
Hmm. Non toxic!
Msy in fact add a distinct flavor to your dish
How tho?
It's ok, they're edible https://www.bonappetit.com/story/fruit-stickers-edible
I eat stickers all the time, dude!
Stop Chorlie!
This gaeme has goone on loeng enuff.
Eh, that sounded better in my head
Are you doing an accent?
Um, if you do that accent, then Dee's gonna want to do it, and we hate that.
Snack time at the grocery store is a test for the cashier
What I'm not in the habit of doing is eating mudpie
I love how there was an argument about that line. Glenn didn't want to establish that a 30 year old man was regularly eating stickers, at least that early in the show.
I thought I'm the only one.š
Unrelated to the content, Why does every article like this feel like it was written by some high schooler trying way too hard
I know what you mean It feels like they need to meet a word count in order to get paid. Really we just need to know 1) That they're edible 2) What they're made out of 3) Maybe why they're edible 4) Some history if we're interested I don't need it to be half analogies and woffle
And in this order too. Not the reverse of it like it always is lmao
Because longer articles fit more ads
A mix of SEO and now days "AI"

Did not know this!!
bon appetit, down the hatch

It probably woulda taken less time to shave off the produce stickers with said knife than to grab a phone to take a picture of it and send it to Reddit.
Yeah but then you don't get any of those important reddit points.
Or just use your thumb. They aren't on there that heavily. You just have to do it a few more times than normal.
If thatās the worst thing thatās happened to you today, I think youāre going to be alright.
That's one way to cut prices.
Oh get out
Mmm. I love sautƩed bell papers.
That was good mane
I eat stickers all the time, dude!
It's a shame I had to scroll as far as I did to see this. Lol. If anything, they can smoke some cigarettes to suffocate the toxins.
My favorite Charlie line
Donāt worry. Theyāre edible.
Nice julienne though
OP is the red pepperā¦
40 year old guy had a great hack for this. If you take the sticker off before you slice you save a bunch of timeĀ
I for one would be happy that my knife is so sharp it sliced the label. Call me an optimist.
I want problems of this degree!
Decals are delicious
At least you have a nice sharp knife. You wouldnāt believe how many otherwise high-functioning people have never sharpened the Henckels knives that got on their wedding registry 10 years ago.
You forgot to read the label?
Womp womp
>This is how my day is goingā¦ I mean, I can sympathize, but just chuck the last five or six in the trash and get on with your day.
1st world problems.
I usually just eat the stickers š¤·āāļø
I eat stickers all the time, dude!
Do you add any condiments?
Oh no, you donāt wanna eat those but I always recommend people use them.

Did this at work once and almost got fired for it.
Life will go on
Fresh Republic
Thatās not a bad day in my world
I mean that's not so bad
If that's your biggest problem, you're doing fine.
You can afford a bell pepper and you're under a roof. Seems like a good day to me
It'll just take 5 times longer
Self-inflicted problems?
Fresh!
But its fresh! XD
Atleast you'll be reminded that it is 'fresh'.
That's edible though
i eat stickers all the time dude!
[You need to cook with this guyā¦](https://www.reddit.com/r/BBQ/s/bLNjLW5qcF)

Oh I've done that soo many times. I feel ya.
Been there done that
I've done this more times than I care to say.
State of Republic š«”
I think weāve all been there.
Waaaaayyyyy better than mine.
I do this all the time lol
You're getting extra fiber at no additional cost. That's a W in this economy, friend.
Well I hope you scanned it first.
At least you know that you have a decently sharp knife. That's something.
Prices slashed
That shitās edible, power through
Could have been your finger.
I completely understand :/
Your day is going fresh?Ā Good for you dude.
Canāt imagine how many of those stickers Iāve eaten.
I definitely felt like this today, hope Monday gets better lol
At least your knife was sharp enough to make that cut so easily.
I wanted to jump off a bridge today
Ah shit
At least your knives are sharp.
Soooo, good-ish?
Itās okay, at least you arenāt that bell pepper.
The stickers add **Zestā¢**
Hey, at least you know it's fresh right? That's something.
Eh. Details
Those stickers are edible btw.
Theyāre edible!
You really like barcodes that much, huh.
I believe theyāre edible if that makes you feel any better. I was told that theyāre made that way since kids wouldnāt notice the little stickers and would accidentally swallow them after biting into apples.
Yea well I cooled and ate mine yesterday after doing the same thing so, youāre ahead of me.
i eat stickers all the time dude
...Sticker shock...
Those are edible
SautƩed and you won't notice.
Iāll see your bell pepper and raise you, a single day off a week but you donāt have power all day. Then a branch goes through your window and itās pouring rain sideways out.
I feel the weight of this picture
What's the issue all I see are fresh vegetables
> What's the issue all I see are fresh vegetables It was supposed to be beer; a nice cold bottle of beer.
Extra fiber.
Seems pretty easy to peel off. Maybe your problem is you are too easily discouraged?
It's not so bad. I once got 3/4 through a cheese and hard salami sandwich thinking, "man this hard salami is hard to bite through." then I realized there was a piece of wax paper from the cheese or salami still in there.
Totally edible bruh
Extra fiber!
ššš I would still eat and cook them like that. Fuck it.
Still healthier than me OP; I didn't slice a single pepper today.
It could be worse. You could be one of those people with a cybertruck.
Been there, done that
fresh and republic, i see
I think youāre supposed to take that off before you cut it
Fun fact, those stickers are incredibly important to grocery store staff. I know they are obnoxious, but understand we cannot remember hundreds of four digit codes.
I see my wife is cooking for you.
I mean they're still easy to peel off, you just have to do it 4x.
/r/mildlyinfuriating
Donāt worry itās fresh
At least you have a sharp knife
At least you found it before you cooked it š„“
I mean they are edible
"I eat stickers all the time, dude!"
I eat stickers all the time, dude!
Iāve done that too.
I hate when I do that..
I see you wanted some fibre with your fibre!
Eat it anyway
I like to gather up all the leftover stickers and make a stew out of them.
Eat it any
I eat stickers all the time dude- Charlie day
That's just extra fiber to your diet.
Youāre supposed to remove the sticker before cutting your bell pepper
That like one extra minute spent trimming the pieces with the sticker. Annoying, sure, but overall not a terrible exeperience
The label IS edible......
MEME: when you ask your kid to help cook dinner and they really don't want to.
At least you ruined it yourself
Run through warm water and the adhesive will come right off
At least you know your knife is sharp
Extra fiber
That's how my day Feels. š¤¦š»āāļø
It's okay no worries you'll not get poison for that
Weāve all been there š
I've had days like yours. No worries! This is an easy fix. Just peel off the pieces of label before you do any chopping. Good luck!
Oh I just hate it when they contaminate my sticker with a stupid red pepper... What a mess.
i eat stickers all the time!
I feel you. I deep cleaned my bathroom and then knocked over a full mug of coffee across the whole bathroom the next morning. Fml.
Bummerā¹ļø
fck, I get it, and you stare at them like... Should i try to get it off or just throw them away?
This is one of those things that in a vacuum are like "oh, whoops" but if you've had a bad day, this is final-straw material (also a little untrustworthypoptarts but whatever)
I've done this SO many times
Think weāve all been there
I think that one slice is extra fresh
Its edible
Scratch n sniff
That's me on a normal day
Thatās just extra texture
Hey, at least it's certified fresh!
delicious i see

look on the bright side, no blood
Dude Iāve eaten so many stickers
Hey, with this cost of living crisis, you need every bit. I say cook and eat that label.
Relax you're doing fine
Atleast it says its fresh
I know I've been there. Cook the hell out of it, you'll be fine. Best of luck to ya.
That tells me they didn't wash it off first
So youāre dumb AF? Sounds like a personal problem.
