1. Did you know the other use of artificial flavourings?
Industrial Strength Solvent. Like methylated spirits, but wa-aa-aay more powerful. When we made some in chemistry once, it chewed through the back of my pen. Seriously, the stuff goes straight through plastics of all kinds.

So, what is wrong with polyesters?

9. It's only wrong for clothing.
Without polyester, we wouldn't have microfiber. Without microfiber, I wouldn't have the softest and most absorbent towels ever created by man :P

11. I like vintage polyester.
I won't buy anything NEW in polyester, but if it's some wide-collared funky-colored hipster 70's blouse, it's pretty much REQUIRED to be polyester.
