Now your stomach gets involved, and it’s like a tiny chemical factory. Your stomach acid is insanely strong—it can dissolve bone, metal, and most organic matter. But plastic? It’s a different beast.
Most plastics are hydrophobic and polymer-based, meaning they resist water and don’t break down easily. Your stomach might churn and try, but it’s like trying to dissolve a Lego brick with lemon juice. It just doesn’t work that way.
So, if you ate a small fragment, it will likely sit there for a bit, then get pushed into your intestines—still intact, like a grumpy rock on a water slide.
