white blade things

[lameduck]

In the last few days, whilst walking, have noticed everywhere

plastic shaped like a back to front letter P

with the the rounded back cut out diagonal with looks like a thin blade in it.

I can only assume it is something like a paring blade.

maybe something to do with drugs, as it is littering the street and not disposed of in a bin,

Could anybody enlighten me please. thankyou

Sounds like a dental flosser.

At this time of year my guess would be something to do with Christmas Trees or similar

I suspect Ruffers is correct. Apparently it has been a thing in the US for a while.

Why would anyone be using them in the street and just throw them down? 🙄

People drive and floss it seems. Not to be recommended - bad things can happen
