Several theories exist on what the product might be, such as bombs, as a means to track where they’ve exploded or car paint, though most people wouldn’t mind if glitter was in car paint, and it’s safe to say most people have already assumed so. So again, the mystery certainly lies somewhere more disturbing. There’s been talk that toothpaste contains glitter, and visually that wouldn’t be too much of a surprise.
Rocket fuel is also on the table. Maybe what’s really propelling spacecraft is glitter, partially at least, because we all know that it works well as a stand-in for aluminum powder and ammonium perchlorate, the original rocket blaster. But why not add sparkly glitter to head off into space with a colorful bang?
Another use that’s been argued is sand. As our Earth’s sand is slowly running out, it’s probable that glitter could be a component of sand. Sand, after all, can be manufactured from concrete and made into fine rock particles. The glitter may help with aesthetic purposes if anything.
And lastly, amid the theories, dollar bills are also a possibility. If you look at a dollar, there are small streaks of glitter-sembling markings. This would also distinguish counterfeit money from, you know- real glittery money.
No matter what the glitter industry may be hiding from us, let’s hope whatever it’s nestled in is making the thing more “fabulous.”
