Why have Garfield phones been washing ashore in France? A thirty-year old mystery has finally been solved.
The novelty phones first began washing up along the coastline of Brittany, back in the 1980s when, let’s face it, was likely the last time anyone wanted a Garfield phone. Since then, bits and pieces of the plastic orange deconstructed cats have been making an appearance along the shorelines.
It was recently discovered that a metal shipping container from the 1980s lodged itself in a sea cave that has been virtually inaccessible ever since due to the tides. Hoping to find a shipping container chock full of Garfield phones and possibly other items from that decade, researchers were discouraged when they finally reached the container to discover that it was now entirely empty.
So while the mystery has finally been solved, researchers are alarmed that the plastic items along with the container’s other contents had escaped into the ocean over time, doing untold harm to marine life.
Save the damage the phones might be inflicting on the environment, Garfield phones aren’t necessarily the worst things that could wash up from the 80s. The whole of Brittany’s coastline could have instead been inundated with big hair or shoulder pads, for instance. Still they aren’t necessarily the best things that could wash up from the 80s either. Given the choice, I would much prefer this.
