Genius Fruit Label Turns Into Soap When Wet

I want to buy and wash a bushel of apples just to show everyone how ingenious this is. Instead of peeling off the produce label and wondering if you’re supposed to use soap to wash off your carefully chosen produce items, you can kill two birds with one dissolving-label stone.

Created by inventor Scott Amron, when introduced to water Amron’s Vanishing FruitWash Label dissolves into an organic produce wash that gets rid of dirt, pesticides and bacteria. The FruitWash Label isn’t out in the wild yet, but you may remember Amron as the guy that created the Key/Ring. So you know he has a history of making his inventions a reality.

    So if I eat the sticker (which I do quite often by accident) atleast my bowels will be nice and clean.

    Bad idea. First, no you do not need to wash your fruit especially with soap.

    Secondly water is often sprinkled on fruit to make it look more appealing and clean at the super market n stuff so it will be all soapy before you even get it.

      But… Other people handle them in supermarkets… Who knows what they’ve done with their hands leading up to shopping… WHO KNOWS!?!?!? Soap on apples = good clean fruit…. Even tho I’ve only ever washed them in water… Never with soap.

        There is a reason why we have an immune system and acid in our stomachs… I can’t quiet remember why…. But it’s a good reason.

          Yeah, it’s an awesome and life saving feature of our body… I’ll try and work out how perfect it is when I get over this flu.

    Seems like a decent idea to me, given the amount of pesticides they use, not to mention the asshat that regularly picks his nose and scratches his ass having handled them. Personally I just thoroughly scrub them on my shirt. This idea is OK, just as long as they don’t taste like soap afterwards.
