  "whyPlastic": "A tongue scraper is one bent strip of metal, so little can go wrong, and what can is specific. Copper tarnishes, and some makers coat it with a clear lacquer, which is plastic. Stainless and copper scrapers with a soft handle carry a silicone or plastic grip. A case is a separate part with its own hinge, liner and finish, and a travel pouch is cotton or nylon. Bare copper darkens with use, and that is the metal, not a defect.",
