This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

I peeled it off, and there is no reside on the item, nor did was there any damage to the label.

I had to stick it back down on each side to get the photo, but it pealed right back off in perfect condition again.

If this can be done, why aren’t all labels like this?

Not to rain on your parade too much here because fresh peeled stickers are great but - citronella candles don't do much besides smell.

Studies show a 24% reduction on number of bites but it doesn't keep mosquitos away so much as reduce it a bit.

The best mosquito defense is deet and number 2 is a few strong fans since they suck at flying.

Yeah, I wasn’t the one who purchased it. I find if I just turn on a fan, there are 99% fewer mosquitoes.

Fans make such a big difference and on hot muggy nights they're soooo nice
