So I'm sitting in my college cafeteria and my plastic spoon just melted when I placed it in some hot food. Is this shit hazardous because it melted into the food? How fucked am I?

Would I be able to sue my college about this?

>> No.8718679

Would not eat that, would definitely let someone know. Carcinogens dont make a good lunch

Nigger not to be elitist prick or anything but your standard of living is worse of a house dog and that said I wouldn't touch that with a ten foot pole.
If you want you can order high performance plastic spoons they use in MRIs the American ones are especially good meaning stiff,resistant and inert.

Kek.

Thanks for the laugh.

You'd be lucky if the college doesn't sue you for defamation in return.

It didn't melt, it deformed.

This. If it melted then it would be dangerous to eat. Not because of the plastic tho but because it is too damn hot

Does the spoon change color when exposed to heat?

All plastic breaks down and infects our food to some degree. More so so they melt with hot food. Eating enough plastic at one time certainly isn't going to un-fk you. As for f'd, unless things change, all of us are. Unless one of you geniuses has the answer rather than a bunch of meaningless answers?

Show us the recycling code motherfucker.

It is probably made of biodegradable PCL or PLA though, as these substances have relatively low glass transition temperatures.

These plastics can be fucking implanted into the body and are often used as tissue scaffolds. PCL is FDA approved for some medical applications.

That plastic bottle thing is more likely to fuck you up than the spoon. It probably has all sorts of nasty plasticizers that diffuse out at warm temperatures.

Those bad boys don't fuck around and can disrupt your endocrine system at low concentrations

It's an optical illusion. It only looks white in the first picture because of the black background.
