I peeled it off, and there is no reside on the item, nor did was there any damage to the label.

I had to stick it back down on each side to get the photo, but it pealed right back off in perfect condition again.

If this can be done, why aren’t all labels like this?

    Because these labels are made out of plastic instead of paper or paper-plastic combination. Plastic is not only more expensive, but also worse for the world, hence most labels are made of paper and rip in two when trying to peel them off.

    For non-consumable stuff that’s really great. For food items I don’t want a resealable sticker. There’s a benefit to being tamper evident in those cases. It’d be nice if they were easy-peel and not restickable. That’d be dope!

    Keep it around so you can stick it on any particularly stubborn bananas or oranges later on.

      since I can’t upvote twice (without using my alt accounts), hopefully this will do:

    Not to rain on your parade too much here because fresh peeled stickers are great but - citronella candles don’t do much besides smell.

    Studies show a 24% reduction on number of bites but it doesn’t keep mosquitos away so much as reduce it a bit.

    The best mosquito defense is deet and number 2 is a few strong fans since they suck at flying.

      Yeah, I wasn’t the one who purchased it. I find if I just turn on a fan, there are 99% fewer mosquitoes.

        Fans make such a big difference and on hot muggy nights they’re soooo nice
