The poem I learned was...Starts with a 4 it's out the door, starts with an 8 that we hate, if it is a 9 it will be fine.

Interesting info!! You're the best!

Thanks for this info. I would like to point out as a small organic farmer that stickers are not "green". Small farmers cannot afford the machine that it takes to apply the stickers on the fruit. Besides being infuriating to a busy mother or anyone else, stickers are not "green".

What if my stickers from bananas doesn't have numbers at all?

[deloresevans]

I have a tomato that I have had for 2 months on my counter, it took a month for it to start turning red. No sticker was on it, didn't notice it until I got home.
