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

You don't need to put literally anything on the avocado whatsoever, no sticker or anything.
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

How many different avocados have you seen in a single shop? In big supermarket there can be like 2 or maybe 3, small and big ones and the "premium" one with paper and/or plastic packaging sold for double the price for idiots

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.
