A bit like that, but mine is more crumbly, I think.

As it happens today I've binned an 'Addis Cutlery Drainer' that's had a
hard year of occasional sunshine UV exposure holding our toothbrushes.

It's crumbling similarly and bits are now easily snapped off. I'd say at
a guess it's made of the same type of disintegrating cheese where I
think (looking at google) they may have left out the necessary UV
stabilising additives. These things are meant to have a 10 year guarantee!
