Hey Guys, I am just making sure I get all my calories accounted for...
Just wondering, are there any calories in envelope glue? I lick them sh!ts all day long.. maybe it's why I am not losing anymore weight?

Never really thought about it but I know they sell sponges at Office Depot that lick them for you0

LOL - not sure, but I DO know that it contains gluten.0

Just spit after each envelope. You'll be fine.0

Oh noooo. I bet they don't have a sugar free or gluten free envelope glue alternative.0
-
Yep. It's the glue.

I was going to answer this with pure speculation, but the thought of licking envelopes all day made me throw up a little, so now I have to go subtract calories from my diary. Good luck in your quest.0

It has to be! it can't possibly be the chipotle.0

You really don't want to lick the envelope glue.
This was the first thing I hit on Google:
"THE GUM on British stamps is composed of polyvinyl alcohol and dextrin. The dextrin is derived from starch (e.g. potato) and the vinyl alcohol is a synthetic derived from petroleum. The gum used on ready-stamped stationery items is a blend of polyvinyl acetate and dextrin with the exception of aerogrammes, where the gum is a blend of polyvinyl acetate and polyvinyl alcohol. Slimmers may be interested to know that a single standard postage stamp contains 5.9 calories and Special or Commemorative stamps 14.5 calories."
Also, because envelope glue is not considered a food source, they don't have to maintain sanitary conditions as such. There are stories all over the web about dead rats in the glue etc.0 -
Don't lick that crap!!! It's horse sludge. Def. get an envelope sponge.0

George's fiance died licking envelope glue. I'd be more worried about that.0

Oh my god, DON'T LICK THE ENVELOPES PLEASE, PEOPLE! My father in law works for an envelope-making/paper products company and you don't even wanna know what's in the envelope glue. YOU DON'T WANNA KNOW.0

Well now I HAVE to know!0 -
Oh God, I thought this was a joke until I googled it and most sites seems to say there are either 4-5 calories per envelope or 17 calories! :noway: I think you better start doing what I used to do at my temp job and moisten a paper towel and use the towel to wet the envelope.

Apologies for not specifying...it's the stuff that GETS INTO the envelope glue.
Ain't no regulations. Bugs galore. Dust. Dirt. I think they find dead mice occasionally during winter months.0
