Yes, the pic is a joke on the polite euphemism for them when found on the shore: "beach whistles".

Teachable moment about when humans dispose of stuff.......it doesn't go AWAY, it just goes elsewhere on the planet and it may come back.
There is no 'away'.

Why don't they just ship them to Michigan like Canadians do with the rest of their trash?

It speaks volumes about disposal! I wonder if any of the aquatic life has digested any of the applicators? Ugh!

Seriously - are those things recyclable? I'd gladly wash mine in bleach and recycle if they are.

Sounds like they need to put those filters back in place in a hurry. Mother Nature will not stop calling. Too bad they can't be recycled into some kind of weapon we could use on Kim Jong Mentally iLL.
