Unfortunately, WebSmell-o-Vision has not yet been unilaterally pushed by the dudes at Google to do this news justice, but as a croissant connaisseur I would have at least appreciated a webp of the thing instead of some random archive image. It’s a stamp, for christ’s sake.
There is a pic here and it’s quite nice imo: https://www.wopa-plus.com/en/stamps/product/&pid=105515

But wopa-plus does even mention the essential detail?

I miss my concrete stamps... A bit rough on the tongue but still lovely

Do they taste buttery when you lick them?

I am holding off for the red wine flavoured one.

Now this is the future I’ve been waiting for

Can't wait for the cheeses

La Poste might have invented the first non-vegan stamps in history.
I hope they don't turn rancid.

Given the normal process for making glue I wouldn't be so certain.

Most modern glues are synthetic. Super glue is usually cyanoacrylate, regular glue sticks might be Polyvinyl Acetate (PVA). Outside of specialty glues that are intentionally going for old school methods, it's not really a thing anymore

Try and find a good one in France. Harder than you’d think

In Paris? Sure. You're competing with tourists. Almost any rural bakery? No. You'd have to try to find something shitty.
I wish we had croussants here in teh states (tiny speciality shops not withstanding). They are a rare. instead we get a weird butter flavored croissant shaped bread with nothing of the texture or aroma of the real thing.
