I think Eric found out that sticking produce stickers on your spouse’s things is actually fun…
I found this on my shoe yesterday!!
I picked up our house phone and dialed his cell phone. Eric answered his cell and I simply said, "I know what you did."
Click.
Naturally, I got him back…
I put one on his key chain this morning. Sure enough, 5 minutes after he left the house I got a call, from some creepy man…"You may have won this battle but you won’t win the war…."
Click.
Started off my Monday just fabulously.
It gets better my friends, oh yes, it does. Better than I ever imagined.
A reader named Jo, pointed me to this website where Barry Snyder from Erie, Colorado, makes Produce Sticker ART.
You just can’t make this stuff up!
Some of his amazing works of art…
Look familiar?
Barry encourages you to MAIL him your produce stickers and he will use them in his works of art!
He writes,
S.O.S. Foundation (Save Our Stickers)
I ask you to pause for a moment, and think about the humble food sticker. Performing his (or her) appointed duty without complaint. Without these noble stickers our food distribution system would utterly collapse! Modern Society would simply starve to death!
And yet, once they arrive at their new home, reveling in the successful completion of their noble mission, these stickers are callously cast away, fated to some foul-smelling landfill! Is this fair? Is this right? NO! I say they deserve better. Now there is hope!
S.O.S. the Save Our Stickers Foundation provides a new home and a meaningful purpose to these unassuming stalwarts of our supermarket lifestyles. Won’t you please help? If you could find the compassion in your heart to simply peel these valiant warriors off the skins of your preferred produce and then place them, sticky side down, on a piece of notepaper (paper, not plastic) they can live as artwork, (united with thousands of fellow food stickers as part of a symbiotic visual presentation), bringing joy to young and old alike.
Please send your stickers to:
Barry “Wildman” Snyder
POB 301
Erie, CO 80516With you there is hope!
Sincerely,
Wildman
It just doesn’t get any better than this folks. Personally, I would die happy if he did one for OSG. ;)
Produce sticker lovers UNITE!
What’s the strangest art you have ever seen?
In my old university town, there was this huge display of garbage art. People picked out pieces of trash out of the bins and made it into art. It was quite fabulous.
Of course, we can’t forget Spencer Tunick’s naked people art.

OMG Food sticker art?!? Who woulda thought!
Ugh, I had the same thing happen with my chickpeas. I thought I did something wrong but apparently not. Mental note added.
I agree an OSG produce sticker poster would be fantastic!
Ahahaha I love the sticker war.
Haha, love the food sticker art! Genius.
Hee hee! You and your husband are so cute! :)
Love it. And how great that you guys eat so much produce to have all those stickers to play with!
You guys are too cute! There is a statue outside of the University of Wisconsin football stadium that looks like a huge penis made of footballs. It makes me laugh every single time I see it!
2 things of note:
1) We had an Econ teacher in high school that liked to rub “himself” against the podium. One day a couple guys put produce stickers on the podium so that they would stick to the teacher’s junk. He stepped away from the podium and was “Ripe and Ready to Eat.” I can’t make this stuff up.
2) I always dump my leftover chickpeas onto a baking sheet and stick them under the broiler for a few minutes. Watch them though, they’ll burn!!!
:)
Sticker art is awesome. The most interesting art I’ve ever seen is carpet used as a medium. Interesting moder art.
That sticker art is crazy!
I think it is so important to stay playful with your spouse.. you can’t take life too seriously because everyone has little “annoying” habits and if you can make light of them, your relationship will just continue to grow!
I love the sticker art!! That is amazing!!
Haha too funny! Did you go to University in Guelph? There’s a garbage dinosaur here… “Garbosaurus Rex”!
The art sticker project looks amazing. People are so creative and talented. Hope you win the war with Eric!
Ha ha, my hubby and I are silly just like that. I am looking forward to the variety pack! :)
Bhahaha… that’s soooo funny.
That artwork was beautiful!!!
Produce sticker art … who knew?? Ha … that’s neat.
Wow that artwork is beautiful. I wish I was that talented. I usually leave mine in the sink ;) What a fun bonding game for you and the hubby!
That artwork is really cool!
You and your husband are too cute. Makes me smile and feel all warm and fuzzy inside- haha.
Baking for nine hours? Sounds like heaven!
Have a fabulous evening
with love,
