on 5/15/2008 This is good to know: You wouldn't believe what ends up on our fruit. Here in Oregon we have the Hood River Valley, where there are alot of orchards. Someone told me that they spray floor wax (!) on the apples to make them shiny! Can you believe that? Even soap and water won't take it off, if you wash a apple and it has this white mottling left on it....it might be floor wax.
