Its' weird, the site I'm watching Rocko's Modern Life on only has 2 ads on the whole thing - variatons on "Attractive Women in Rotherham/Asian Woman Want your DILZ now!" and "This magic pill makes muscles happen with no exercise! (ignore that the models are all clearly lifting weights and heavily photoshopped!)" You'd think there would be some variation, it's getting boring. VARY YOUR SPAM INTERNET!

It's all this poo poo over and over again.

The measuring lines on the cap of liquid laundry detergent are like half the volume of the cap, and the recommend line to use it self is like two-thirds of that. One time when I was living at a University dorm and foam was erupting from the floor drains in the laundry room. You can use way too much, and it isn't making your cloths extra clean.

This is why people are starting to opt for the pods. It's not as embarrassing or low class or whatever as getting individual packs of powder detergent, and they don't have to measure anything. Also it comes in this attractive case and whatnot.

When I had to go to a laundry room, they were seriously nice, I could just grab 5 of them, and get laundry done in a pinch.

Oh, yeah, they're convenient as hell, especially if you have to go to a laundromat or a laundry room in an apartment building or something. But it'd be just as easy to make them ugly tear-and-use pouches or something. But then they wouldn't be visually appealing and wouldn't feel like the future.

Disclaimer: I buy pods if they're on sale when I need detergent, because they are, in fact, incredibly convenient. I'm not making GBS threads on people who use pods. Just don't think they need to be made to look so bright and (I guess) edible.

I use the All pods and they look like small plastic throw pillows full of mucous. Definitely not appetizing.

Yeah, it'd be better if more pods looked like pissbags so that children wouldn't eat them, but they also don't look good to advertise, so companies besides All won't really go for that.

Also: People have said that the colorful pods look like Gushers, and I am convince that these people have never seen Gushers and are just talking out of their asses.

I'm pretty sure most of them are talking out their asses. I mean who leaves something like that in a location where a child young enough to think it was candy would find it. I mean really

I thought the laundry pod eating fad was just idiot internet teens being dumb, combined with the popularity of various "__________ Challenges" on youtube and other media. People keep complaining that part of the problem is that the pods are brightly colored like candy but has there been a single instance reported of a small child eating them by accident because they legitimately mistook them for food? I thought it was solely people eating them who are definitely old enough to know what they are because it is an Internet Thing.

To my knowledge, in the US between 2012 and 2017, 6 adults (mostly with dementia) and 2 children died from eating the pods. That obviously doesn't count those that ate them and lived, which is probably much higher. Hardly an epidemic, but still...
