How old is this bottle?

[Maz]

I was out on Balmedie beach yesterday. It is a very impressive place. Amongst the usual flotsam and jetsam was this bottle which caught the eye as it seemed a familiar design. Then I noticed the special price at the top of the bottle which really dates it. Shows how long this stuff is going to be around for

So it's a washing-up bottle that washed up.

Friendly Floatees.

Yes, it's an old story, but rather wonderful, perhaps?

In the same way that somebody is now collecting precious metals that have dropped out of car exhausts and are lying around on the roads in tiny quantities, I reckon that once the price of oil and hence plastics rises high enough somebody will begin harvesting the seas for plastics as shown in that Wiki article.
