Default Prescription Bottles / Seed Storage

Somewhere in my garden reading was a suggestion to use these for
storing seeds. There were also instructions on how to easily remove
the labels and the sticky stuff left behind. Was it here by chance? I
have tried the plastic version of Goo Be Gone and it doesn't work
well. It seems like it was something easy like ammonia or witch
hazel ??
Anyone have an idea?

Ammonia, sounds right. Ammonia solutions are also used at wineries to
remove labels that went on poorly (usually timing in the labeling
machine with front and back labels), so that they can be re-labeled.

Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. This is not a way of life at all in any true sense. Under the clouds of war, it is humanity hanging on a cross of iron.
