I read an article today about a legal battle between the makers of Colgate and Aquafresh concerning the use of a design on their toothpaste package.The fight is over what is referred to as the nurdle, which I learned is the name given to the perfectly-shaped curvy squirt of toothpaste that people use to brush their teeth.
I also learned that a nurdle is a play in the game of tiddlywinks, a type of batting in cricket and the name given to the cylindrical-shaped resin pellet used in plastics manufacturing. It is believed that billions of these tiny plastic nurdle pellets find an eventual home in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, the subject of Post No. 171.
