Japanese bottle at the beach

[asand1]

At the beach today I found a couple of things at the beach that looked like Japanese tsunami debris.
One was what looked like an oil or shampoo bottle marked B&W International.

Cool but at the same time macabre.

Nah, I left it at the beach. If I'm lucky I might glow in the dark.

Go to a firehouse. Many have radiation detectors. See how many roentgens that baby is putting off.

Oh wait............ I see your post above........edited accordingly.

Something like a bottle of shampoo wont tend to "hold" much radioactivity just because it might have been in that area. It would take actual hot particles to somehow imbed or attach themselves, and thats not likely unless the bottle was actually in the Fukushima Daiichi complex at the time of the event.

I would not worry about it at all. More likely its just random trash off a ship, IMO.

Nope, sorry to bust your scare, but the writings are NOT japanese.

Instead, they are simplified chinese, so floating garbage came all the way from mainland china.

(front part of the partially disintegrated sticker bottom sez: hair wash essence" in simplified chinese.

Back side sez "ba-wang" international in simplified chinese.

Q.

So it came from Wal Mart?

Sometimes you can get things like that from a grocery store in an Asian district of a city. Some local might have carelessly thrown away their trash, and it only appears that the bottle was carried along for many miles.

That is a domestic Chinese brand shampoo that Jacky Chan endorsed. Cheap stuff, and most likely bought in your local Asian store as artificialist said.
