    Liquid sealing methods for envelopes went the way of the dodo.

    Crinkly envelopes signal to the recipient that either:
    (1) the mailman sucks and got it all wet, OR
    (2) you slobbered all over the envelope. They won't know whether you used water or saliva.

    It's already 2021, post-pandemic era.
    Go get a glue stick if you don't want to pay extra for self-sealing envelopes. You can keep it around forever, it never dries out.

    That's new to me:hmm:
    I didn't know there were envelopes you were actually supposed to lick :blobrofl:
    Uhhh... nope. My family always rips them open. I peel them open from where the seal is too, sometimes. Thus, my concerns. :blob_teary:

    I don’t know about anyone else, but I find using a wax seal solves any envelope problems.

    It’s not like they were especially made for licking. I just thought they tasted really nice, that’s all. But I mean, that used to be the normal way to seal envelopes, you know?

    Did you think most people bought those special sponges or something...? Most people aren’t going to bother with that...

    If it's for something important I use glue but if I'm sending something to my family or friends I usually seal it with a cute sticker.

    :blobpeek: oh my

    Isn't that a higher risk of paper cut on your finger though?

    I only get those when i open envelopes, lol. At least the ones i've bought had the sticky part a bit removed from the edges.
    But yeah, nowadays all the mail i receive has been taped or glued shut, with the whole pandemic thing and paranoia about any transferrance of anything related to genetic material. (and i must say, last letter i sent out was ages ago). (p.s. i think it also came with a sticky strip where you pull off a bit of paper, like a bandage has and it then glues shut).

    It's gotten a lot easier for me to open the mail without accidentally ripping up a letter or cutting myself on it like an emo teen. :blobwoah:

    Considering it's you, I'd have expected something stickier. :blobpeek:

    I was considering joking about using pre-cum but then i imagined the paper cut potential and cringed. I even came up with a name Herpes Express. :blobwoah::blobwoah::blobwoah::blobwoah::blobwoah:
