Weird Science: Do Six-Pack Rings Photodegrade?
Bethesda blogger Nutgraf reports on the results of a four-month long experiment into the photodegradation of six-pack rings
He even has a handy Youtube video on what mostly-photodegraded six-pack rings look like after four months in the suburban Maryland sun:
From the experiment:
The experiment ran from August 3 to December 6, so this is what four months in a Bethesda back yard will do do a six-pack ring. No, it’s not an overnight dissolve. But it’s not 500 years of trapping ducks and fish either. This ought to ease the furrowed brows of my colleagues, who paid a disconcerting amount of attention to this story.
