Tide Pod Challenge! 3 Need to Know Facts!


in 1988 the world had lofty ambitions
for what humans could accomplish in the
next 30 years
expecting space tourism and flying cars
and yet now in 2018 we literally have to
tell teenagers not to eat soap welcome
to watchmojo.com eight that’s not funny

everything you need to know about the
tide paunch allenge I’m actually an
inventor oh yeah would you invent eating
Tide Pods before we begin we publish new

for more great content number three what
is the tide pond challenge a dangerous
new challenge is sweeping social media
teenagers are putting detergent pods in
their mouths we’ve all seen the TV
commercials for those little packets you
can toss into your laundry they’d save
laundry doers the time and hassle of
measuring out portions of detergent and
fabric softener as it turns out the fact
that they kind of look like candies is
completely inadvertent like everything
on the Internet it’s difficult to trace
the exact origin of the idea to chomp
down on these but Consumer Reports
issued a warning in 2013 that
approximately 7700 children aged 5 and
under had been exposed to the pods since
2012 some have said that the origins of
the internet sensation come from a 2013
message board thread on straight dope as
well as The Onion’s 2015 satirical op-ed
piece from the perspective of a toddler
whose mission was to get his hands on
those delicious-looking pods
fast-forward a few years and Tide Pods
have become a meme with an online
challenge issued to consume the pods
introducing Domino’s tide pod Pizza a
carton of Tide Pods on each pie most
people participating in the challenge
are teenagers which is a huge surprise
to nobody hmm that’s probably just kids
though number 2 what happens if you eat
a Tod pod in 2012 the Center for Disease
Control and Prevention tagged Tide Pods
as a health risk you’d think that would
be the end of it but here we are making
this video so what the heck is going on
people use type glass for washing not
eating while normal detergent will make
you feel sick the selling point of tide
pods is that the detergent is in a
concentrated form which of course is
worse for you can
Reports has stated that symptoms of
eating them include vomiting lethargy
and gasping and some people have even
needed assistance breathing on top of
the numerous warnings against them tide
includes a substance in the pods called
bit tracks also known as denatonium
benzoate which taste gross and is
designed to stop children from eating
them upon biting into the pod the
ingredients cause a chemical burn to the
inside of your mouth
this will cause swelling and obviously a
lot of pain if you then swallow it the
gelatinous substance will move slowly
down your throat causing a burning
sensation and difficulty breathing
since the pods release in 2012 there
have been six deaths as a direct result
of eating Tide Pods hard to believe that
we’re even watching videos like this
number one is there a takeaway here at
WatchMojo we conducted a Twitter poll to
see what the audience thought of
purposefully eating Tide Pods of the
responses at the time of publishing the
Post 5 percent said it was reckless 12
percent said it was stupid and the
majority of 69 percent said it was
insanely stupid 14 percent said it was
tempting so – that 14 percent of you
watching this video if you could just go
ahead and not reproduce that would be
great
how rude okay we kid we kid if you want
to see that poll in others be sure to
check out our Twitter linked in the
description below the risk of todd
Pollak consumption is nothing new as
they’ve been known to be hazardous and
homes with people suffering from
dementia and Alzheimer’s who’ve mistaken
them for something other than laundry
detergent to summarize for all of those
not paying attention it doesn’t matter
what they look like eating Tide Pods is
a bad idea if you or anyone you know
consumes at iPod drink several cups of
water to flush out your system and
contact your poison control center ASAP
