Wouldn't it be crazy of the bacteria that evolved in the garbage dump and the laboratory strains being developed in laboratories suddenly broke containment and started eating every damned bit of plastic in the world spontaneously. Like, you'd wake up in the morning and all your polyester clothes would be motheaten and falling apart. Then, you'd go to the kitchen to make your morning Cheerios, and spoiled milk would flood out of your refrigerator the minute you opened it in a wave, carrying random bits of leftovers with it, because the milk carton and disposable storage containers in there all got eaten. Then imagine what happened to your car out in the driveway. After that, imagine trying to call into work, with your cellphone half-eaten and all the insulation in the telephone and power lines eaten too. Then your house would collapse or catch on fire.
