    That’s a good note. Although you can of course use a condom, but yeah.

    I think Tupperware makes glass containers with silicon lids as well though, so again… just shape and size, really.

    Like would you consider farming corn to be a different industry than farming potatoes? Some of the machines are probably different yeah, but it’s all “agriculture”, innit?

      I can’t really speak from a position of knowledge on manufacturing TPU/TPE/PVC toys, but making silicone requires mixing two parts together and then casting your toys before they start to cure. I’d imagine Tupperware is an injection molding process instead. I have no idea how much machinery you could repurpose, though I’m curious to find out now
