They don't need laser etching either. Take a basket of fruits, put a label on the basket.

    Except, you have to build the laser... And the assembly line...

    1. You don't need to put literally anything on the avocado whatsoever, no sticker or anything.
    2. Are you seriously trying to say that building a bunch of fucking lasers and modifying assembly lines would be less wasteful that a tiny label which, by the way, does not need to be made of plastic.

    This is a pointless, wasteful novelty

    Yes, the label is plastic or paper, but you'll have 1 label (reusable) for 50 or however many fruits fit into the basket in shop instead of having every single one labeled.
