AB  - Nowadays, microplastic has been detected in many environmental samples, including 
      aquatic and terrestrial environments. However, few studies recently have 
      addressed their attention to microplastic contamination in different drinking 
      sources and food packages. This review paper has narrated those few findings in 
      brief. Literature showed that different pieces of microplastic fragments, e.g., 
      polypropylene (PP), polystyrene (PS), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyvinyl 
      chloride (PVC), polyethylene (PE), high-density polyethylene (HDPE), low-density 
      polyethylene (LDPE), etc. are detected in plastic drinking bottle, tap water, and 
      food packaging containers. Microplastic fragmentation may be associated with 
      mechanical stress, UV radiation, low plastic material quality, aging factor, and 
      atmospheric deposition. Besides these, microplastic is a hub of different 
      chemical compounds and can also retain other complex materials from the 
      surroundings. This makes the microplastic contamination even more complicated and 
      difficult to detect them accurately in a single method. Additionally, one of the 
      common practices at the community level is the long-time repeated usage of 
      plastic drinking bottles and food boxes that subsequently cause microplastic 
      leaching and potential health threats to consumers. This narrative study 
      summarizes the current scenario of microplastic contamination from drinking 
      bottles and food containers and emphasizes doing more quality research in this 
      subtle but highly imposed field to understand potential exposure better.
