An open letter to those who think eating Tide Pods is ok

[smahala1991]

Lately there’s been this meme about Tide Pods being edible. Tide pods are a laundry detergent not a snack. So if you don’t like what I’m getting ready to say feel free to delete me.

If you really believe eating tide pods are ok and are a harmless meme you’re full of shit. Tide pods are dangerous and deadly. As kids we were told not to eat mud,dirt , or bugs. But yet we’re having to tell idiots not to eat laundry detergent because of a meme saying it’s ok to. Doctors are saying it’s deadly even NFL players are saying not to do so. The memes say a tide pod is a forbidden fruit. Well, you know what I’m not religious but I remember in the Bible the story of Adam and Eve and they ate a forbidden fruit and that messed them up.

Long story short: if you eat a tide pod, Tide is not responsible for what happens next, nor will I feel sorry for the stupidity of those who do.

My dad got told not to eat bugs, then Air Force survival training cane along and worms and bugs were easy protein.
My dad knew a pilot who gained weight at SERE school...

See this is why literally every other branch makes fun of the Air Force.

I’ve seen the memes. I don’t know why some people would be dumb enough to snack on tide pods.

[Other_Tommy_Wiseau]

Fuck you, it’s fun! 😬

[mooky06]

@Other_Tommy_Wiseau go eat more tide pods 😋

People don't understand "The Internet" really.
Remember the Pizza Ring? Remember the "OK" hand sign that was made to "be a secretive Alt-Right salute"? Remember all these fads that appear "from nowhere suddenly" and people just jump in the bandwagon endangering life and pushing fake news?
We just really need to understand two things: 1) Only really stupid teenagers would actually "eat" a pod, yeah the same type that would kill themselves playing with a loaded gun or hanging from the highest building to take a picture only to prove a point or to promote a fake fad, sadly there is not a lot we can actually do since their parents are not doing anything themselves, and 2) Internet communities are the ones that allow these "little ones" to interact with each other and make this idiotic things "just to see what happens"
Until another person that didn't did his homework properly and believed everything that "The Internet" told him, showed with a loaded gun at a pizza place.
Thank G-d he was just checking, and didn't show at another place, full of innocent children.
The letter is not for those teenagers, is for their guardians, for the people that surround them and for the people that are interested to understand that teenagers are just the same... just with more connections, more freedom and more privacy.

Ugh... ok, lets deal with this one step at a time.

A meme is a meme. If you're stupid enough to eat a tide pod because of a meme, you have some mental issues you need to get resolved.

Am I not aloud to tell jokes about anything harmful because some idiot might believe it and go hurt themself? It's a joke, a meme. Get the fuck over it.

A meme is harmless. Are people going to burn down a house because of disaster girl? Or give their babies beer because of beer baby? They are harmless memes, as are the tide pod memes. If someone does decide to burn a house down or give their baby beer, then they are just as stupid as people who eat tide pods. They are still harmless memes though. Some idiots are stupid enough to actually eat them. Ok, let them be stupid and learn their lesson. If they're going to be that stupid, then what happens is their fault.

The internet is making people dumber than they already were lmfao

Why would somone eat laundry detergent?

[smahala1991]

I know, it just proves Darwin’s theory of Natural Selection does exist

[Phoenix98]

Nah if Darwin's theory of natural selection existed then most of the Californian population would have died out by now.

[sovetskii13]

Kids and teens do the stupidest things these days. Weird challenges, suicide dares, and I don't even wanna know what else.

[mochamocha]

I've seen the memes too. Seriously, people should not eat it... -_-

[Other_Tommy_Wiseau]

Fuck you! Don’t knock it til you try it! I’ve had a few and they make my insides clean! And I’ve only been to he hospital 3 times 🙃

[mochamocha]

@Other_Tommy_Wiseau Drink green tea, better antioxidants. XD

[Other_Tommy_Wiseau]

Thanks. You da real mvp!

[EllezBellez98]

Would't it be a great business idea to make tide pods that look exactly the same but are like completely edible and safe. I would make fucking billions like that 😂

[Cosytoasty]

Lol, i'd be more inclined to let natural selection take it's course.

[Maxemeister]

I don't want to say this is Darwinism at work... nevermind that's exactly what I want to say. DON'T EAT TIDE PODS YOU IDIOTS

Was this a 4chan thing?

[Phoenix98]

If that was actually a thing though then wouldn't most of California be wiped out by now?

[Maxemeister]

@Phoenix98 California wants to split in half, they have their own plans lol

[Phoenix98]

Do they want to split in half now? I thought they just wanted to succeed?

[Maxemeister]

@Phoenix98 Nope now Republicans want separate from Democrats into 51st state. TBH it almost makes sense as their lifestyles are VERY different but at the same time it's a pretty baseless movement lol

[Phoenix98]

Well it's a less radical idea then the democratic idea that they could survive on their own as a country.

But to be honest doing anything like that whether it's splitting it in two or turning into a country both are bad ideas. And both will never work anyways.

If they want to instill change then they need to do it at the state level and get republican or at least conservative people into positions of power within the state from there they can do more change and have more success.

And at California's current rate of decline it'll collapse within 10 years that's how long I'd give it.

[Phoenix98]

Is there like an epidemic of people eating tide pods that I wasn't aware of or something?

[JudgmentDay]

Some people just aren't going to learn things the easy way, and would rather learn things the hard way and find out the hard way.

[ChromAzonyx108]

I keep seeing stuff about tide pods. How did this even start?

[MarieBauder]

I don't even know how snacking on Tide Pods even started. What has this world come to?

[cupidkisses]

I can't believe that people really eat them.
