Those high - tech looking toys you see flying in formation are actually beautifully assembled bits of junk: umbrella handles, cheap
plastic watch bands, broken milk crates, Bic
pens and bottle
caps.
Nearly all the pieces of
plastic are recognizable —
pens, straws, water bottles, cutlery, wrappers, condiment bags, bottle
caps, and food containers — except they're the dirty, used, cracked, abandoned versions that many of us leave on the ground or toss into a garbage can as quickly as possible.
