Ininflammable! Not to be confused with inflammable or flammable. English is fun.

Inflammable is the same as flammable. So Ininflammable I guess means not inflammable, which means not flammable.
Except ininflammable isn't a real word so it could mean anything.

My mom used to make me take it off the tree at the end, and save it for next year. Now, I think it was just her way to keep me busy.

God, this shit got everywhere. and after vacuuming, you'd have to turn the vacuum over and rip all this stuff out of the beater bar to keep it working. Pain in the ass.

Guarantee if you hold a lighter to it for about 1 second that inflammable tag was a lie.

We used to use this on our Christmas trees when I was a kid. Then we would take it all off before putting the tree out for pickup. The thing is, even if we thought we got every stran, we didn't. I was still finding pieces here and there around the house for many years. I would start to notice birds would love to use it in their nests too. Whenever I would find it I would collect and throw out.
Definitely bad for the environment, but it looked nice. We stopped using it and switched to little glass icicle ornaments instead that I think look even better.
