Thanks!

It’s strange and I’d like to know the answer.
Yes we have had items self destruct in the attic. Thin bulbs on X-mas items. Different types of totes. Some totes have been there for years. Others after a few years became brittle and crumbled easily. Apparently different plastic reacts in different ways. I’ve plastic containers of automotive fluids that cracked open and leaked in the garage.
Wish there was a code on containers that differentiate.
