There are people who love to spread false information and get very belligerent about it in Skypeland. One man came in to tell us that the number on the bottom of plastics like plastic bottles, describes how toxic the plastics are. He bet us 1000$ that a plastic which had a number of 5 or above on the bottom was toxic. A plastic bottle with a 7 on the bottom was toxic he claimed. He was proud to scream about this. I asked him for a link or reference. Of course he did not have one, but I knew he wouldn't since I recognized his voice as someone who didn't have a clue usually.
We very quickly found some links demonstrating this is nonsense:

Of course, this guy shut up after we had the counter evidence. Where is my 1000$?
