    The Graduate - 1967

    One word: Plastics.

    This one word is how they allowed toxic chemicals to seep into our lives.

    The scene is even more strange considering Dustin Hoffman was a chemist for Maxwell House before becoming an actor. If anyone might have been familiar with the dangers of plastics at that point, it might have been someone like Hoffman.

        The first thing the article cites was related to platic products like water bottles.

        But sure lets play platics police instead of reading the article.

        It’s an article about a boatload of products, and plastics absolutely are referenced and fit in that category of products.

      Most plastics are not inherently toxic.
