Examples of non-fuel petroleum based products?

Question

is it true that vaseline, shampoos, plastics, and even food sometimes containing petroleum products?

Answer 1

Absolutely true.

Petrochemicals are far more valuable than the gasoline you put in your car. Plastics, pharmaceutical drugs, synthetic fibers, etc. all come from crude oil and natural gas. In fact, only about 50% of a 42 gallon barrel of crude oil actually becomes fuel.

Answer 2

yep. it almost always does...

even paper is treated with petroleum based products... you have it everywhere. most af the colorants are petroleum based and even though some people are trying to get back to floral and herbal based colorants, petroleum based colorants are still cheaper. So that's one of the things you can have in your food that comes from petrol.
but for food it's almost always a small quantity of petrol, and most of the time you don't need a lot to do what you need to do, you still need it almost everywhere. but still.

also, plastic is 100% petroleum.
