We don't need to know what orchard they came out of, that's nothing to do with us. Forget the damned things and drop the price of the fruit...What ever happened to the ones that were burned onto the fruit using a laser?
And we'll buy more.
Seemed a much more practical idea to me!

I suspect there have been complaints because they have all gone back to plastic with the brands we have bought.
I dont know why they cant use PLA which is a bio-polymer anyway thats made from corn startch.
And the elephant in the room is the damn bag is all plastic anyway!

As a kid school lunches were wrapped in the grease proof bread bag...only used twice, but better than one use, and it decomposed sort of anyway...the wax won't rot away, but it's a natural substance. The McKenzie loaf used to come in a brown paper bag...with a plastic window. Is it still around ?...too expensive for me now.

I'm not sure - they did rather price themselves out of reach of most of us, didn't they.
