Have you ever burned an apple skin before you ate it test it for wax?
Nope - the thought never even crossed my mind until today!
Today this article on 18 foods and drinks to avoid in China came out:

After reading the article we thought we'd try the apple trick! Most of our apples do feel very waxy and ironically they last for weeks! Yes weeks after purchasing they still look and feel good in the fridge - this isn't normal. Something is in them!
Our apple luckily did not drip any wax! Whew, safe to eat the skin I guess. Although, I had washed the apple with soap and water prior. Hmmm.
Sadly we were already aware of most of the 18 scandals listed above and most we believe are true or have been validated by Bill's co-workers/other expats.
