Are we really eating a credit card the size of plastic per week?

If there's plastic in bottled water, then doesn't this mean that there must therefore be plastic particles in fizzy drinks, juices, coffee and alcohol too?

In fact wouldn't there be more plastic these than water? There should be more clarity on whether this is tap water (urban supply or private well) or bottled water. If there are "3.8 fibers per liter" in EU tap water, then I can't see that coming to a credit card size of plastic per week!

What I'd actually be more concerned about is the size of the plastic particles that are ingested, and not the total weight consumed per week. I heard someone on the news say that one source could be that the plastic in bottled water is slowly being dissolved. If that's true, then such particles can't be seen with the eye, and I can't see such a source adding up to the weight of a credit.
I'd like to get a straight answer to this.

And why is honey mentioned?

My manager also makes me eat a credit card sized piece of plastic every time I mess with the radio.
