maddmaxx ★ Posted January 18, 2018 Share #1 Posted January 18, 2018 It seems that some kid ate a tide pod while making a video for Utube. Then he issued a challenge for others to do it. Of course kids being somewhat less than responsible took up the challenge. Utube took down his video and promised to take down all the others. The kid then took his circus to twitter. How about sending children's services to his home for some "corrective action" cause "taking down their video" isn't such a harsh punishment.

JerrySTL ★ Posted January 19, 2018 Share #2 Posted January 19, 2018 Dying from eating it may be just punishment enough. Plus Darwin gets a win. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thaddeus Kosciuszko Posted January 19, 2018 Share #4 Posted January 19, 2018 It won't be long before some politician steps up to pass a law to save us from ourselves, either by making the pods less colorful (ostensibly making them less appetizing), or making it a serious crime for a parent to allow his stupid child to eat a pod, or by tacking a tax on them to fund an "awareness" campaign, or by banning them outright.

They were having trouble keeping the "pods" out of the mouth of babes. Now it's older kids with the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirtyhip Posted January 19, 2018 Share #8 Posted January 19, 2018 I dont understand why someone would spend more for pods. Is measuring too cumbersome? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirtyhip Posted January 19, 2018 Share #10 Posted January 19, 2018 There was a gal i worked with. She was always worried about money. She was a financial disaster. We went to the grocery together. She bought those pods. I gasped when I saw the price, compared to a value product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a double saving, n'est pas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parents who allow their children to do this, post videos and issue challenges to other kids on multiple social media formats have far more problems than making a house payment. I believe that "taking down the video" by facebook is far to light a slap on the wrist for child neglect. If we can indict a young girl for egging on a boyfriends suicide then we can follow up on this sort of thing. The cost of the pods is just a side show.

Razors Edge ★ Posted January 19, 2018 Share #20 Posted January 19, 2018 1 hour ago, shotgun said: Yep, pure laziness AND convenience. We use pods for the dishwasher. Very nice to just reach in the bucket, grab one, put it in the dishwasher, and go. Just easier all around - they don't leak, they combine washing and after-washing stuff (some people add detergent and then an after-wash liquid too), and it is real easy to see when you need more. Costco size makes it so that is only once or twice a year. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
