For those unaware, phthalates are linked to decreased testosterone and potentially other health effects. 1 [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phthalate#Endocrine_disruption
Here'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.
The makers of "Passion Dust" are pretty upfront about the benefits of putting "magically delicious" glitter in your vagina, so it's probably not them. But I wonder what flavoring they're using? https://www.self.com/story/do-not-put-glitter-in-your-vagina >Passion Dust is billed as an "adult novelty item" and its sole purpose is to "add a sparkle and flavor to your natural vaginal fluids to make the experience of love…
But all the more horrifying in light of talc conferring asbestos into cavities in ways that provoke cervical cancer.
I 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.

He was caught using two fake reactions, and he owned up to those. But we can’t say if the others are real or not with any certainty. Personally, I thought the parking garage reaction looked like bad acting as soon as I saw it, so I’m still skeptical. He also initially claimed the package was placed in Illinois, but he edited the video after people called him out on it. And he presents the device as something he engin…
Link to the other video: https://youtu.be/IpMxOmUcfOI Its disappointing that Sean is getting absolutely zero credit. Mark Rober just keeps saying “I built”. There’s a link in the description but just suggests Sean has more build details. He could have at least brought Sean into the original video for some credit. Who knows, maybe this was the deal and Mark is giving Sean all of the ad revenue in exchange for the view…
He clearly mentions Sean and even includes a couple of frames in the video of Sean working on the device's PCB.

What an ample time to post such an article. Some context: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2018/12/18/man-ca...
I guess "ample" is a typo? Also this isn't a coincidence. This has been posted because someone saw that video and wondered what exactly glitter is. I also looked it up after watching that video.
I'll say it- The US Military And not because its particularly useful, but as a method to funnel money from taxpayers into a few glitter companies. They play along and everyone makes money. This passes the- "Why is it a Secret", "Why it can be a secret", and "Why they buy so much".
I would not necessarily make that assumption. See: https://cyberarms.wordpress.com/2010/04/28/the-weapon-that-d... Something simple like chaff could have all sorts of interesting properties depending on shape, size, method of manufacturing, etc.
They have a legitimate reason to buy it. Why not cronyism at the same time?
This would explain the industry leading quantities as well.
Glitter is terrible for the environment, and easy to avoid by not using it.
Judging from this thread and all of the guesses re: the mystery industry that uses glitter perhaps that's a bit of an overstatement. How can we easily avoid something when we aren't aware of all the ways it's used?
I'm curious what the answer to the title is but "aluminum metalized polyethylene terephthalate" doesn't exactly help me. Aluminium, okay, but what is the rest? The article goes on and on and on, rambling about how everyone likes it just like we once hunted for honey, what company it originated at, what kind of word it even is... thousands of words for a couple of interesting bits of information. This either needs a s…

Nope. Not a typo. Here's the Wiktionary entry for it: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/ample
