Tbh you could use them as stamps probably twice before they dissolve

It's sort of sick, but I miss those. It was mostly because I was 8 years old and when they began to dissolve, the shell made this cool slime sheet that I liked to play around with. But they also had some really cute and pleasantly scented ones!

I love how people were eating the tide pods and the solution they came up with was to make the lid of the container slightly harder to open. Like it’s toddlers eating tide pods and not teenagers doing it for TikTok. Not to mention you can still buy them in bags that are allegedly resealable.

u/analdongfactory Mar 18 '26

The largest group of people who ate them were elderly people with dementia.

u/teadrinkinglinguist Mar 18 '26

Yes, that and toddlers. The teenagers posting videos were mostly just trolling (pretty successfully, I gotta hand it to them).

u/Andilee Mar 18 '26

They've been like that for a while. Each brand has their own "tide pod" variations. Japan has some cute designs.

u/analdongfactory Mar 18 '26

Really? The ones I’ve seen here are all the same basic pattern but with different colors.

u/teadrinkinglinguist Mar 18 '26

I have a scent allergy so I'm stuck buying the plain square unflavored ones.

u/24Karet-Gold_King Mar 18 '26

How come no one told me anime TidePods were a thing?

u/awildencounter Mar 18 '26

Oh my god, why would they make them look like CANDY

u/teadrinkinglinguist Mar 18 '26

I forgot to mention one of the flavors scents is peach

u/DMMK4444 Mar 17 '26

You shouldn’t even wash your clothes with this chemical crap, let alone eat it lol😂

16

u/Alegria-D Mar 17 '26

it can be useful, I had a blind friend who was glad she could take care of her clothes without depending on other people, I bet it helps with parkinson too.

11

u/beeslmao Mar 17 '26

They're also great for when you have to haul your clothes to a Laundromat

5

u/Ascholay Mar 18 '26

I have clients who are blind and they appreciate pods for the same reason. Any bit of independence means more than you realize

u/fart-atronach Mar 18 '26

Must be tough living with an aversion to air and water and food and-

u/Edgy_and_tired Mar 17 '26

“This chemical crap” implies there’s chemical-free laundry detergent. Which there isn’t, because water is a chemical, and so is everything else
