Reply to comment by Sometimes_Stutters in TIL that 12 million "Shrek Forever After" drinking glasses (sold by McDonalds) were recalled in 2010 for containing the toxic metal Cadmium in their painted decorations by black_rose_
Not true. The aviation industry uses it extensively in civil aviation. Most nuts and bolts on an aircraft engine are cad plated.
I used to do cad plating as part of my apprenticeship. It's ugly AF. A bath of cyanide, balls of pure cadmium and high electricity and a rotating "bath" of parts. Hated every minute. The smell, the chemicals. Everything. BEGH !
