Them tiny labels on eating apples - they edible? They must get swallowed in

No, and in fact the adhesive used on them is not very good for you. I
knew someone who spent 3 years researching how much adhesive you
actually eat, because it's apparently quite toxic in relatively small
amounts.

You would think that the labels would be designed with an adhesive which
peels off cleanly, but it ain't so. Another of life's mysteries.
