The BDB couldn’t discern a micro bead from a scan of his educated yet ignorant brain mass.

I think Goop is the best dirt and grease remover on the market. Easy on the skin, too.

Amazing the Republicans couldn’t see fit to attach a rider to this feel good legislation.

Is the rest of the world banning these things or just Usa?

I say this as someone who stopped using the things when they gummed up the pipes in my apartment (slow drain problems).

[[Why don’t they use something that is biodegradable instead of the plastic beads?]]

It’s usually about patents and cost. Apricot seed / pumpkin seed/ papaya seed have been ground up and added to skin care products since ancient days.

I recently read an article about dentists finding microbeads from toothpaste stuck in patients’ gum lines.

Nice. I sometimes swallow a bit of toothpaste after brushing my teeth. Now I might die of starvation. From the article:

And when they eat the beads, the plastic bits don't just pass through the animals' stomachs like normal food. Instead, the beads often become lodged in their stomachs or intestines. When this happens, the animals can stop eating and die of starvation, or suffer other health problems.

The mirco beads must be guilty of micro aggression

Doesn’t the same thing happen when you swallow bubble gum?

Miralax contains polyethylene glycol.

Miralax is polyethylene glycol.

“Who needs microbeads? I like to use Lava soap. It takes off the dirt, and the skin it’s attached to.”

I remember that stuff - lol - and you described it perfectly.
