Ever since 2018 began, ALL I see on social media is this Tide Pod fad. Why? I don't know. Honestly, I just don't get it. At first, I looked past it and didn't think much about it and actually thought it was kind of funny. After seeing it multiple times, I realized it isn't funny and that it isn't something that we should look past.
This is apparently a 'challenge' now. Like we had the cinnamon challenge and all of those other dumb ones, well now we have the 'Tide Pod Challenge'. How dumb is that?
Do you realize that there are some people in this world that actually eat these things as a means of suicide? The pod box literally says on the label "DO NOT INGEST."
What the heck??? I mean if you're going to eat a laundry pod, you might as well stand in front of a moving semi truck and let it hit you. Ok, ok, that sounds dramatic, but this tide pod fad has just gotten out of hand.
We have teenagers all of YouTube posting videos of them eating the pod as a challenge, and as a result, they get famous. People are making Gordon Ramsey memes out of this. I wonder what he thinks of it? People are putting them on pizza as if it were pepperoni or something.
We were always taught to kid pods away from toddlers and kids and that they were ONLY for laundry use.
Now the teenagers are acting more like the kids than the kids are by eating these things. I really don't see the point in eating these things for a challenge? If someone can tell me the purpose, please go ahead and do it.
Most people probably think this isn't a serious topic and I didn't either at first. The more I see the stupidity on social media, the more it irritates me about this generation.
There is now an Oreo package going around with orange, white, and blue filling to represent the dang pod. Although these aren't real, it has come to people wanting them to be.
I mean look at this! R-I-D-I-C-U-L-O-U-S
I just had to do a little vent for y'all. If you want to watch and get in on the stupidity of today's teenagers, all you have to do is go to YouTube and search for this and thousands of results will appear.
!!! DO NOT EAT TIDE PODS, KIDS !!!
