    Somewhat relevant: I recently stopped using a plastic-bodied electric kettle to boil water for drinks because it was often making drinks taste “of plastic”. I have to imagine that some of that would have been redistributed, well, in places implied by this article.

    This makes me wonder what regular, close-to-source plastics the tested men were using around the time.

    Of course, there’s also that a lot of the water supply goes through plastic pipes these days. It would be interesting to know how much of that, specifically, ends up coming out in people’s homes.
