Glitter Gate

Have you ever wondered where all that sparkly glitter comes from and what it’s really used for? It’s not just for kids’ crafts or festival makeup.  There’s a wild mystery behind it called the Glitter Conspiracy, or Glitter Gate! It all started with a 2018 New York Times article where a rep from Glitterex, a big glitter manufacturer in New Jersey commented "they couldn’t name their top client, and the way they use glitter is so sneaky, you’d never even know it’s there." This got everyone’s imagination running wild.

Stick with me as we dive into where glitter comes from and what it might be hiding in!

So, where does glitter come from? Most of it is made by companies like Glitterex, who churn out tiny, shiny bits of plastic or metal-coated materials in super-secret factories. They slice up special films into microscopic pieces using precision tech that’s been around since the 1930s. Today, it’s a massive industry, but they’re tight-lipped about the details, especially about their biggest buyers. 

The secrecy fuels the conspiracy.  Why won’t they spill the beans? Is it because glitter’s a microplastic causing environmental drama (YES!), or is there a bigger secret (Another YES)?

You’ve probably got glitter on something you own right now, and you don’t even know it! 

Here is what I sense:  Glitter is the result of plastic waste that has been converted into something marketable as a way to dispose of the waste.  This is similar to fluoride being a toxic byproduct that was conveniently sold to us as useful and put into toothpaste.  Glitter is nothing more than a useless microplastic byproduct being sold to us in various ways and solves the vendors problem of disposing of of plastic waste.  I suspect companies get incentives to take this and slow dose it to us in various (and disgusting) ways such as food, products we use and products around our house.  Who says ALL glitter has to be shiny?  That is just a color/chemical put in the vat during processing.  Perhaps some doesn't have the super shine, and what if big manufacturers like Tyson or Kelloggs are indeed the "top clients" they need to be tight lipped about.  I'm sure the government wouldn't hesitate to give us a good daily dose of microplastic as long as their wallets were being padded in the process. They are already slowly putting truth in plain sight with "edible glitter."  [Helpful hint of the day:  Don't eat the glitter!!]

This is just my hunch.  What are your thoughts?

Much Love,
