When it comes to problems for consumers, eating PLU stickers on produce seems the epitome of low hanging fruit. Someone had written into one of those gurus in the newspaper, asking whether it's harmful to eat the "Price Look Up" sticker on fruits and vegetables, since she keeps accidentally gobbling them down.
The response went into an explanation of what the stickers are for and the fact that eating them won't turn you into a tomato or a toMAHto.
Sheesh .....Am I the only one who peels these coded stickers off before biting into an apple or pear?
How about:
Dear Electro Guru,
I keep forgetting to remove new headphones from the plastic bags they come sealed in, before I use them. Will this damage my hearing or make me look stupid if I wear them that way in public?
Or, Dear Health Nutte,
I keep damaging my gums by brushing my teeth with a toothbrush that's still encased in that hard plastic case. Also, the toothpaste keeps falling off.
Or, Dear Medical Expert,
You know those silica gel packs that come in bottle of pills and so on? They're marked "do not eat," but can I make tea with them? They remind me of little teabags.
