I was addicted to laundry pods in my teens, but I'm clean now...

1/15/2018 10:16:02 AM

back in my day we didn't even have edible laundry pods, we had to butt chug our laundry detergent

1/15/2018 10:17:47 AM

I came to know that was a thing just a few things ago.

And you know, I was like, idiots who bite/chew them deserve the burns they get in their mouths and plumbing.

Darwin always wins.

Toddlers have died from eating these things.

1/15/2018 10:28:25 AM

Obviously not referring to toddlers or very young children.

1/15/2018 10:30:33 AM

What do mean you people teens?

1/15/2018 10:46:27 AM

I hope if I have kids they're not dumb.

1/15/2018 10:56:17 AM

i'm still not convinced this is real

1/15/2018 10:57:21 AM

^ don't underestimate the willingness of stupid people to do stupid things.

dtownral not convinced this is real

convinced details of vegas shooting are real

1/15/2018 12:42:29 PM

you're right vegas shooting was also an internet meme the media didn't understand

1/15/2018 1:00:09 PM

I haven't seen anyone actually ingest one yet, but I'm sure it happens.

1/15/2018 1:42:37 PM

It’s better than the “hot water” challenge.

1/15/2018 2:16:43 PM

1/15/2018 2:55:18 PM

I bet Tide acts all dismayed about this but is really reveling in the increased sales.

I've got the feeling this all got started with one of those joke / fake facebook meme posts, similar to those that offer "advice" on how to prepare a vehicle for winter, with the advice being what one should not do or just plain false information (boiling water on frozen windshield, drain oil so it doesn't freeze, winter headlight fluid, etc)..

"drain oil so it doesn't freeze"

that actually might be a good idea if its going to be stupid cold, hah. just keep the oil in the house where its warm. i like it. make sure you add it back before starting the engine of course

Man you'd have to be driving around on mars to worry about that

So I had middle schoolers try to explain this to me yesterday. They said "You don't actually eat the tide pod, you just bite it and spit it out"

I was like...oh that's better! you just swallow a little bit, not the whole thing.

I honestly get joy out of telling the students "If you eat one, and you go to the hospital, I will come and visit you in the hospital, and I will call you stupid."

1/20/2018 2:19:04 PM

So why exactly has this become a thing?

I keep hearing it compared to the gallon challenge and the cinnamon challenge...

Also, whats in a tide pod - exactly how toxic are these things?

1/20/2018 6:16:48 PM

^toxic enough to kill little kids, would probably just make an adult painfully poop bubbles for 72 hours

1/21/2018 6:24:46 AM

At the very least, that mess has to be carcinogenic.

What's in it? It is like any other laundry detergent. The dose makes the poison, so for little kids it can be fatal (and has been). For teens, it won't kill them, though for anybody who happens to be allergic to any of the ingredients, it can lead to anaphylactic shock.

Many teens of today have weirdly and wrongly wired brains caused by a toxic mix of lack of parenting and social media:

ZERO sympathy other than for those who genuinely mistaken them for candy.

1/21/2018 10:31:12 AM

^you did a lot of research on this.

1/21/2018 4:23:32 PM

he wants to sniff the boxers of someone that ate one

1/21/2018 5:28:57 PM

I suppose eating them is better than butt smuggling them.

1/21/2018 6:58:36 PM

What about absconding with them?

1/21/2018 8:09:27 PM

That would just be rude.

1/22/2018 9:26:40 AM

Just saw a tide pod commercial with child safe zipper bags

1/22/2018 11:46:41 PM

the same people eating tide pods probably did the ice bucket challenge or the fire challenge.

Just people doing stupid things...

[Edited on January 23, 2018 at 1:24 PM. Reason : .]

1/23/2018 1:23:45 PM

I don't remember what the fire challenge was. But I do remember the ice bucket challenge, and would categorize it much differently than eating laundry detergent.

1/23/2018 1:25:49 PM

ya'll gotta get on the no lackin' challenge hotness

I'd rather them shoot themselves though. Seems like you may not be a complete idiot, and just have one shitty friend that might kill you

1/29/2018 4:13:41 PM

what if Tide Pods are that one weird trick to get rid of stubborn belly fat???

1/29/2018 4:55:34 PM

they should make paint ball sized tide pods you can shoot at your boys in the no lackin challenge

1/29/2018 6:04:48 PM

1/29/2018 6:22:50 PM

^

^^ or tide pod colored bullets that you can swallow/chew(?) as candy
