There are white and transparent types of bottle caps on plastic bottles, right? Why are they different colors?

Bottled drinks in PET bottles, easily available from vending machines and the like, are arguably essential in daily life.

So what’s the reason for the small difference in PET bottles—the fact that the mouthpiece color can be white or transparent? If you hadn’t noticed the difference, take another look and think about it from the perspective of what’s inside.

The answer lies in the temperature when the drink is filled into the PET bottle: those that require sterilization use a white mouthpiece made of resin processed to withstand high temperatures, while those fine at room temperature use a transparent mouthpiece.

[Were straws in the Meiji era made from plants? A fun three-choice trivia quiz] Brain-boosting Quiz vol. 398

Plastic bags and plastic products that have flowed into the ocean or been illegally dumped have become one of our environmental problems.

We’re seeing more painful images, such as turtles that mistake plastic bags for jellyfish and eat them, and dolphins entangled in discarded fishing gear.

The movement to eliminate plastic straws is also one initiative derived from the SDGs.

So, in the old days before plastic existed, what do you think people used instead of straws? This quiz is a fun bit of trivia and also a way to touch on environmental issues.

I hope it becomes a quiz that prompts everyone to think about the environment.
