Waste Of Space
Last night I was happily slicing up a tasty orange (thats not slang for anything, just eating fruit) when I noticed something that irked me.
There is a label on the orange saying 'orange'.
Now obviously, that might be a cushy little job for someone, putting labels on individual pieces of fruit. But when you consider that we are on the precipice of the end of the world as we now it, global warming and all that malarkey, I find it odd that my orange has a little sticker identifying it as such.
Consider the cost of the labels, the adhesive, getting them printed, stuck on etc... just for you or I to peel them off and throw them in the bin. Failing that, accidentally eat them.
I will concede that these stickers may serve some function that im failing to recognise but I thought I'd just bring it to the general publics notice.
Actually, this whole thing reminds me of my campaign to abolish silent letters.
