Netizens are fascinated by a strange phenomenon: Garfield-shaped mobile phones have been washed on French beaches for more than 30 years.

Feline floats first appeared in the early 1980s, but they were recently posted on Twitter, triggering a tsunami of jokes about the fame of cats who love lasagna.

According to this tweet, which currently has nearly 100,000 likes, this phone is modeled after the fat cartoon cat "polluted the coast of Brittany, France for 35 years." According to the BBC report, this Tyco-made gadget will open your eyes when you pick up a fixed phone receiver. It used to be a household device, thousands of which were manufactured and sold in the 1980s.

Until 2019, local people knew the reason for the stranding. At that time, a local person revealed to the French environmental action organization Ar Viltansou a container from about 1980. The container was wedged in a secluded sea cave and could only be used during low tide. Enter.

The search team found remnants of the cargo box in the cracks beside numerous Garfield phones. The environmental organization suspects that the freight container has been spitting out old items since it fell into the water 35 years ago.

This discovery resonated with fans of this nostalgic cartoon created by Jim Davis.

"I will assume that the shipwreck happened on Monday," a Garfield fan quipped, referring to the cynical cat's hatred of the first working day.

A witty person mentioned Fat Cat’s famous love for pasta and wrote: “Garfield hijacked this ship for lasagna-related reasons and tried to go to Italy.”

"At least I know my safety!" said a stubborn Jim Davis, who posted a photo of an orange communication device that sold for as much as $100 on Ebay.

"The best part of it is to imagine a container ship or container just filled with loose Garfield phones," another said. "No packaging, no tray. It's just...thousands of mobile phones were thrown into a large space."

However, not everyone thinks that Garfield's phone fleet is so noisy.

According to the BBC report, Ar Viltansou is worried about the impact of plastic clones on marine wildlife, because they may not decompose during our lifetime. Moreover, because the container is currently inaccessible, experts have no way of knowing how many novel items it can hold — or how long it will take them to flow back into the sea.
