…Is this one of those Canada/UK language quirks again? We always called the separate straight strands like in panel 2 angel hair and the things like sparkly feather boas are tinsel. Weird!
in the us there called icicles because that’s what they’re supposed to look like the only reason anyone uses them anymore is the sparkling effect when you out the Xmas lights on Christmas tree tinsel
For some reason cats love ot eat them so yeah ………..
my cats eat it as well. its a texture thing with cats and plastic. that and many cats like the smell of petroleum-based products (most plastic is) so they try to eat it like fluffy little psychos
