The Glitter Mystery
Most of the glitter in the world is produced by two companies in New Jersey. However, they absolutely refuse to disclose who their biggest customer is, adding that "you'd never guess it." The customer absolutely does not want this information to be made public.
Why the sensitivity?
Who is consuming so much of the word's supply of glitter?

OMG I have heard of this, SO bizarre! Kind of a (hopefully) non-harmful conspiracy that we can all have fun guessing.
The other thing about glitter is the major players WILL NOT disclose how they make it, it's a big competitive secret that they take VERY seriously. Where does it come from?!

The makeup industry. It's what creates that sheen/glow that so many products have.

Of COURSE it’s the beauty industry. They were extremely clever to start this grand mystery, but there is no mystery.

The diamond and gem industry. How would it look if jewelers were padding their sparkle with artificial glitter, especially for high-end pieces?

I heard that Iran is buying up all the glitter.

I wouldn't be surprised if the military uses the glitter in bombs to confuse laser guided missiles and related shit.

A lot of good guesses in this thread. I've also heard things like bowling balls and marble. Whatever the answer is (and beauty industry sounds right on) the glitter companies produce TONS of this stuff every year, so it's got to be either one HUGE market or MANY smaller markets (both?).

The key is that the Glitterex company says that if you looked at the product, you wouldn't know it was glitter.
That probably means paint, makeup, or the radar-baffling coating on military aircraft.

Shoes or nail polish perhaps?

The company doesn't want you to know that it's glitter, and when you look at it you won't necessarily know it's glitter.
That means it's not nail polish or clothing or jewelry.
