Somewhere I still have the complete set of recalled McDonald's Shrek cups. I wouldn't drink out of them but I kept them as knickknacks.
Why were they recalled?
Paint used for the images on the side of the glass had heavy metals (e.g. cadmium). As the paint flaked it became possible to ingest it. A mom who for some reason had an XRF gun (x-ray fluorescence, allows identifying element makeup of things. Useful for identifying material or ore content) and saw a ton of cadmium then went and reported it
They had some poisonous chemicals on the paint.
He made some comments on myspace that got him canceled.
One topic often needs to be made more approachable and digestable. The other needs added drama to remain interesting.
Yeah, a lot of true crime involves grisly stuff and sometimes violent towards women that I sometimes need things packaged up nicer to get through an entire video.
- I think reading about lost media is interesting, especially when its some important event, or the search for it remains fun. Lost Doctor Who episodes are wild. Lost images of the first display of television is weird to consider, when anyone here has never been without television. I understand I'm probably weird on this however.
- I think approachable and digestible is a good, but my mother really enjoyed true crime, and the two choices were "Direct weekly documentary" like a Cold Case Files, or something that reads as like its water cooler talk about this week's new drama on Fx. Like the hosts really enjoyed reading about a double-murder. I also understand I'm probably pretty weird on this one.
Is this referencing the
leadcadmium containing glasses where the painted glasses with shrek characters had lead in them for some of the coloursEdit: It was cadmium, not lead
