Strange Pollution

Strange Pollution

Ever since the mid-1980s, an ongoing mystery has been a hot topic along the beaches in northwestern France.  We are not talking about your garden variety mystery here.  A particular and weird type of pollution has plagued the beaches.

For the past thirty years, plastic Garfield phones have been washing ashore.  The phones are orange and black just like the cartoon cat they were modeled after.

Recently, members of an environmental group solved the mystery when they found a damaged shipping container in a cave along a stretch of rocky shoreline.  Though the container was empty upon discovery, the group feels certain this was the source of the phones.

Here is a minute-long video about the mystery:
