Freshness Seal

[Redguard]

The rationale is that you're supposed to be thankful for actually HAVING the lima beans on your plate.

 

[felinity]

I'd be more thankful (and less wasteful) with foods I like.

 

[gracepaints]

I often just pull it back. I think it drives my DH crazy. I'll have to ask though.

 

[GolfingMom]

Remove completely.
No effect on marriage.

 

[Sign Of The Fish Burger]

I remove it completely... It's never come up so I don't think it has much affect on our marriage

Great poll though.

 

[-~Truth_N_Trust~-]

I pull it completely off of peanut butter and most everything except for cream cheese and sour cream. I don't know why I don't take it completely off of those things.

It has no effect on my marriage.

That is exactly what I do! I was thinking the same thing, always off of condiments... except sour cream!

I don't know why...

Can't say it's ever come up in our marriage...

 

[tigercub]

I remove it completely. My husband does not (he just peels it back as far as needed to pour out whatever he wants) If he does take it off completely (a rare thing) it's left wherever it falls.

It's feral...the underside of the seal often has 'bits' stuck to it, and they go hard and crusty and whatever you pour out (past the partially opened seal) will touch the crusty bits....ew!

Obviously my husband is not yet fully house-trained

 

[Xinnamon]

Partially. It affects my marriage in a negative way because my husband loves to pull it all off.

 

[Rebekka]

I can't vote in the poll! I remove it entirely for peanutbutter, but I pull it back (and I make sure not to break it) on dairy products.

I don't know the effect on my marriage as my husband never, ever cooks and therefore doesn't know of the existence of the freshness seal in the first place.

It keeps things fresher if you leave it on - but only if you don't touch the thing, or what's underneath it. I can get well* past the "used by" date by putting the seal back on. For things like quark (is that a word in English?) and sour cream at least. And peanutbutter doesn't really need a seal, which is why I remove it.










*have managed 6 weeks so far and yes, completely safe - I have an excellent sense of smell, and very good eyes.

 

[immersedingrace]

I can't vote
I sometimes leave it on, sometimes take it all the way off, sometimes take off the "little bits".

Typically I take it all the way off of something I'm going to be pouring or squirting through a lid (ketchup/mustard/dressing) but the rest is really up in the air and depends on my mood. If I'm in a hurry and it doesn't come all the way off or tears in the process of removal, I'll leave the rest on. Cottage cheese, for some reason, usually retains part of the seal and I think sour cream.

 

[LovebirdsFlying]

We just rip off the seal and use the product. Since we both do the same thing and don't pay any attention, I'd say it doesn't affect our (very soon to be) marriage at all. Except maybe to serve as evidence of how alike we are.

 

[snoochface]

For things like quark (is that a word in English?)

Yes, but I don't think you'd want to eat it.

LOL, my brother's a physicist so I'd heard about those quarks, too.

Well, what we call kwark (which if it existed in English would be spelled as quark) is very very very fresh cheese. Not cottage cheese - it's not lumpy. It has a sour taste, but less sour than yogurt. More sour than sour cream.

 

[ImperialPhantom]

The whole thing. Why do it partially?

 

[FatBurger]

I remove it completely...

On most things, yes. Just not on the sour cream

 

[appleofhiseye]

All the way off, baby all the way!

This has none effect on our marriage.

We are in total agreement of the disposal of the freshness seal.

 

[Hadassah]

All the way off. Always. Even the little bits that can get tuck to the rim.

It has a very positive effect on my marriage. Thank you for asking.

My thoughts precicely.
