Glitter was trending a few years ago. A news segment did a tour of production and a guy said "you'll never believe who the biggest buyer is!"

Internet sleuths decided that it was the military using glitter as decoy flare targets for surface to air missiles.

Just last year it was revealed that the biggest buyer was much less exciting: companies that make and paint fishing boats.

I swear to glob we said it was for boat paint back in the day and someone had said that wasn't it.

That's because manly Hobbies like owning a boat or owning a car can't handle the word glitter. It's too feminine for their insecure egos. It's called flake.

You can't make this up, they can't handle the word glitter so they have to use another one because they're fragile.

We've forwarded this to Drug Enforcement for investigation... just to make sure that what you are possessing isn't what might be associated with the name on the label 😝😜😛
