I have never understood why the line “Plastics” is considered an iconic movie quote. Is there something about the culture of the time it is referencing?
It was used as describing an investment opportunity.
I remember an old MAD Magazine send up of the 1980s Superman movie. Young Clark was going to build the fortress of solitude with the glowing crystal his father left him, and off frame, his Uncle Morty (the only Jew on planet Krypton?) is yelling something to the effect to forget the crystal, the money is in plastic!
