Kinetic Sand and Symbiosis

There's an evil product being marketed to kids. It's in every toy aisle across America. It's evolving, insidious, and seemingly sentient.

It's kinetic sand.

Don't be fooled! It's sand, that's true, but it's much more. It's also polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), a silicone oil.

When you allow your children to play with kinetic sand in your home, you should know that you will find remnants of that blue, red, and yellow-tinted material in crevices you didn't know existed.

Do you have silicone-based caulk filling the crevices between your kitchen countertops and backsplashes? Guess what? Those crevices are pink!

The worst part? That caulk will be pink for days, for weeks, for eternities. Surprise!

There's an insidious underbelly—a lobby that is powerful but quiet.

It's Big Paper Towel.

Big Paper Towel funds the production and marketing of kinetic sand.

We need to unite and fight Big Paper Towel! Due to the presence of PDMS, our homes may create symbiotes like Spawn. You can blame yourselves, but it's easier to blame Big Paper Towel.
