#112Here's a huge thread on Reddit trying to figure out which mystery industry is the largest buyer of glitter: https://www.reddit.com/r/UnresolvedMysteries/comments/a8hrk0... No conclusive results yet, but I believe Reddit will deliver.

I don't think automotive manufacturers would be worried about people knowing that their shiny paint contains glitter. Also, there are a lot of cars in the world, but most just get painted once. My first guess would be a consumable. Maybe food-related, where we don't expect (or want) glitter. The "toothpaste" guess sounds like it's on the right track. "Fast food" wouldn't entirely surprise me, either.
It's still probably under NDA and the glitter suppliers are contractually forbidden from revealing their customers. It'd be up to the customer to reveal it.
It's toothpaste

Yes you have ample time, but it cannot be "an ample time". I'm a native speaker so I can't explain why, but trust me!
You probably want to say something like "What an apt time.." or "What a fitting time..."

#115It is allegedly mixed with bleach and used by the coal industry to make the smoke look white. People don't like seeing black smoke.

Who alleges this?

#116I wouldn't be too surprised to find out the fast food industry uses some form of glitter to make things look tasty. If you imagine that for example most burgers are usually precooked frozen meat that's then reheated, getting it to look like freshly made can be quite a challenge.
Getting the plastic-based glitter to not melt or burn on the grill might also be quite a challenge.
There are edible types of plastic and having it melt once on the food product during reheating might be beneficial. I'm not saying this as a conspiracy theory or anything of the like, but rather pointing out that this could very well be one application.

#117For those unaware, phthalates are linked to decreased testosterone and potentially other health effects. 1 [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phthalate#Endocrine_disruption
Not the same thing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phthalate#Identification_in_pl...
Mildly different, but still a pthalate. Guilty until proven innocent when it comes to endocrine disrupters imho.
Commentary published in Environmental Health Perspectives in April 2010 suggested that PET might yield endocrine disruptors under conditions of common use and recommended research on this topic.[26]
