Fruit Labels

Fruit Labels, submitted by William. Speaking of fruity fruit farmers, here's "the web's first fruit label site." Quite the boast! There are thousands of hot fruit label pics on this site, all with detailed descriptions such as:

Colours: {orange,white} on dark-blue
Shape: oval:landscape

Why collect fruit labels?

Fruit label collecting must surely rank as one the healthiest hobbies, just as long as you actually eat the fruit… As for the labels themselves, they are rather like postage stamps with words, numbers and pictures in various attractive colours. I wonder whether some standardised form of description, akin to heraldic blazon, will gradually emerge.

Gosh, do we dare dream?

This site contains over 200 pages of impeccably researched, detailed descriptions of pieces of paper that are smeared on produce from foreign lands by disease ridden third-world children. Before you know it, there'll be some sort of grading service for fruit labels and Gem Mint 10 1977 Dole Rookie fruit labels will be sold for $399.99 on Shop At Home. There's a lot of useless stuff on the Internet already, scanning in the thousands of fruit labels you've accumulated during the dateless fifty years of your life and sharing them with the world just isn't necessary. Please collect something useful, like scalps.
