Anybody have any neat tricks for getting the new stick-on labels off. The
old glue was easy but some of the new ones are a hassle.

Are you trying to recycle the labels or just get them off the bottle?

To get the old labels off the bottles I just soak them in hot soapy
water for about 5 minutes and then scrape them off with a razor
blade in one of those scraper thingys. You can get them at any
hardware store for about $2.00.
