- Mysterious seeds from China have been shipped to Americans in all 50 states, an investigation discovered.
- The recipients got various types of seeds, some of them being harmless, common seeds that one might plant in their garden. Others were harmful to the soil.
- The mystery appears to have been a vast scam targeting people whose online accounts have been compromised.
The novel coronavirus pandemic was undoubtedly the biggest and scariest situation of 2020, but it's hardly the strangest thing that happened last year. There were plenty of odd occurrences in a year that many will remember for a long time. Thousands of Americans received unsolicited seed packages containing mysterious Chinese seeds last year.
We've seen plenty of reports on the matter since 2020. People detailed their experiences with unexpected deliveries. It turns out the mystery was bigger than anyone thought. But the USDA gave a simple explanation for it. China didn't conduct some sort of carefully orchestrated agricultural scam against the US with the help of nefarious seeds, as some might've believed. But it was still a scam nonetheless.
