Yeah.  Here in California, the labels seem to have real glue
that is easily peelable and NOT water-based.  In fact, it seems
like getting the label wet is the worst thing you can do, as it
causes the layers of paper to separate (cheap paper, I guess),
leaving a dot of glue fuzzy with paper remains on the fruit, and
a bit of soggy paper in your hand.  It's MUCH easier to get the
label off when it and the fruit are both dry.
