DISCLAIMER: DON’T EAT TIDE PODS

on February 16, 2018

The internet can sometimes be a source of ignorance. Tide Pods are not funny or jokes. This is literal suicide. Do not eat Tide Pods because you can die. Tide Pods are a detergent. Poison is not food. The concentrated chemicals in a Tide Pod have the ability to burn straight through the lining of your mouth and stomach. After digestion, it starts to eat away at your gums and inner cheek. Then, the detergent starts to move through your gastrointestinal track. From there it causes you to vomit, which can be breathed into your lungs. You eventually get explosive diarrhea and die (Interlandi, 2018).

This misguided challenge started when small children started to see this detergent as a bright colored candy. Some people have made these jokes and refer to these as ” The Forbidden Fruit.” Then, College Humor compared the detergent pods to gushers after people have started constantly compared the detergent pod to food (Chokshi, 2018).

Don’t eat Tide Pods. They tear you apart from the inside out. I cannot stress this enough. They may look very delicious, but they are dangerous.
