Well, if you like giving more money to Tide and associated parent companies then yes.

China does not function without US companies outsourcing everything there. It's so blatant on Shark Tank they routinely ask what is your landed cost from China... And that is an entertainment program for a US audience. Is this right?

I find pods work better in dishwashers and such, dunno if it's similar with laundry because I just use costco bottles of he detergent and it works fine.

Laziness. It's premeasured and less messy. The weird thing is that pods were around about 20 years ago but disappeared for a long time - I'm guessing because they were expensive. It's strange to see them making a comeback.

Not exactly: it is more accurately a propaganda program for the US audience.

Yes that is a fair point, and the best propaganda is of course entertaining. It works, for instance, I watch Shark Tank... And every time the billionaires talk about landed costs and driving the costs down and their connections to China, I think, this is one of the reasons why Trump won.

Growing up it was pretty much drilled into me that you shouldn't eat things if you don't know what they'll do and that any sort of household cleaner or detergent is straight up poison and will kill you. Is there like no education about this anymore or what

Tide Pods got what teens crave: death by suicide memes. You can even listen to BROCKHAMPTON while you eat them for a fuller experience.

This is a bit different cuz it's not really evident that eating laundry detergent will just straight up kill you unless you've had bare minimum education about it. I'm sure most people figure it might "make my tummy upset" or whatever but I'm not sure they get the gravity of it

I think it might be because the tastiest, and most deadly, common substance like that was antifreeze, which now contains a bitterant. Some commoner things can't/don't because they contact food and whatever, not just your car.

I've been waiting for someone to take the meme seriously and make themselves really sick or dead, but I figured it would be someone a little younger than a university student. I'm still predicting someone will eat one for a YouTube video though.
