The glitter industry has a secret

They actually don't really use chaff anymore. Tech is much better, chaff is highly unreliable.
It's almost certainly toothpaste.
That's microscopic. You aren't feeling that in there but the metallic sheen in pretty much every toothpaste? Bingo.
Edit: And if it's not toothpaste, it's reflective road signs.

I also think toothpaste. And they don't want people to know because then people would feel weird about putting toothpaste in their mouth.
I genuinely don't think it's something humans eat or could be at risk of eating. No way that'd fly.
It's gotta be guns. Think about it. Imagine all the die-hard gun nerds finding out that their trusty super-manly killing machines were really just made from glitter.
Guns, y'all.
Fucking guns.

Whatever it is, if it's really dodgy, I'm quietly confident it's not available in Europe. But in the US anything flies! Fructose syrup, machine guns, plastic BPA, glitter toothpaste...
But would it need to be specific? Cause toothpaste already has do not eat and various warning labels on it.
Accounting for most of the company's sales and not wanting to keep it secret because people won't like glitter being in whatever it is, toothpaste seems like the best bet.
I think I read OP wrong. I thought there was something odd in actual glitter but where it ends up is what they are talking about.
Our product that contains glitter is on drinking containers.
Everyone knows 99% of all glitter is used on strippers and then is transferred to strip club customers through lap dances, also known as glitter transference.
I'm in Team Money. Those numbers that look metallic and change color when viewed from different angles? That's probably it. Nothing else is really worth the secrecy.
Yeah. But Proctor and Gamble also does disclose that they use PE in their Crest toothpaste for decorative effect. Apparently, it's also in gum. Some exfoliating face washes also use it. Polyethylene ground down fine enough is considered food safe in the US.
That might be it, but it seems overly cautious. P&G and the food companies have to disclose that stuff in the ingredients list. 🤷
(Do read the ingredients list to ensure that you're not using a product that contains polyethylene, as we all know microplastics are terrible for the environment and are invading our water supply.)
ETA: I think P&G stopped using PE and started using mica, a natural mineral. At least in their Pro Health line.
I think glitter is still in some gums and in face washes, though.
It does now after Crest got into media trouble.

Glitter is used in peeling creams and a lot of shower body soaps oils etc. It is in toothpaste, and kids dentures ... And a lot of beauty products. Basically everything that sparkles has this shit in it.
