What's up with the silly little stickers they put on apples? I can understand the principle (supermarkets need some way for the checkout operators to determine exactly what sort of apple you're buying) but the organic Braeburn apples I bought the other day from QFC have stickers on them which seem to go out of their way to be difficult to remove. They have little perforations in them which means that if you grab hold of one part of the sticker and pull, the sticker just tears into at least 3 pieces.
Normally when stickers have perforations like that it's a tamper-proofing method - it's really difficult to remove the stickers without tearing them so they are good for situations where it's important to prove that the sticker has not been moved. But apples? Where the primary design consideration should be "easy to remove"? Are they worried that somebody might remove the stickers and put it them on the cheaper, non-organic apples? It makes no sense, no sense at all I tell you!
