Change My Mind

Dear envelope producers. Please make us envelopes we don't have to lick.

Every envelope company ever: who said you have to lick them?

Select customers: Could you like...offer a range of flavors?

it would dry out and die before it's destination.

What are you, eating the envelopes you get in the mail or something?

Wait... You aren't supposed to lick them, to rewet the glue? Making it easy to open without ripping the envelope? Also providing a reusable envelope?

No! You steam it open for that. Boil a kettle and the steam rewets the glue, it just pops open. It used to be how people stole postage stamps.

Look, there have been food shortages, don't judge.
