Last year, U.S. poison control centers received reports of more than 10,500 children younger than 5 who were exposed to the capsules. The same year, nearly 220 teens were reportedly exposed, and about 25 percent of those cases were intentional, according to data from the American Association of Poison Control Centers.

The bright color, the firmness, the texture, the weight, you basically couldn't design something better to convince your monkey brain that the thing in your hand is a delicious fruit at the height of ripeness that should be eaten immediately.

After that loving stupid magnet recall, maybe this will be enough to get America to collectively say "Look, if you're a loving moron I'm sorry but we are not going to issue a ban on a perfectly useful product."

It happened because some idiot news station was all "OH MY GOD WE DON'T HAVE ANY NEWS BUT HEY LIKE FIVE OR SO KIDS DIE A YEAR FROM TIDE PODS EVERYONE PANIC!" then people started panicking and people started making fun of people panicking and now here we are with a ton more people eating pods because some dumb newscaster was bored.

I believe there's another sign to the left and right that aren't in frame and the thing is split across them in a weird way.

It's pretty accurate, even before I learned that my disease prevents me from eating hotdogs. Three? Damned right I'd be terrified (and Batman is a terrified child-man) of eating that much in one sitting.

Monkey Brains are easy to fool. Case in point, a Mexican (?) company that makes floor cleaner products got a lot of flak for making this:



because people kept confusing it for Gatorade or something and drinking it.

I was in a grocery store in Italy and they had sodas and lemonade right next to the liquid soap and other cleaning products. From a distance it was hard to tell which was which.

You do understand that not every product has english labels in them, and that small children cannot read, and the elderly tend to have poor vision so they cannot read the fine print?

I am 30-something guy and once thought I bought a water bottle from one Italian railway station, but the contents turned out to be some godafwul-tasting soda made from some goddamn flower petals and roots (after I googled what the gently caress it was that I took a sip of). The bottle was in the same freezer with the actual water bottles, and had a picture of snowy mountains, bubbly fountain and a patch of flowers in it, and no word besides italian in it.

I was in a hurry and just snagged the first "water bottle" I saw.

Also there's a heck of a lot more people exposed to laundry pods every day than AR-15s so the probability that some toddler will stick one of them in their mouth is a lot higher. The guns will still be way out ahead in deaths though, I found a report from mid last year that said there'd only been 8 recorded deaths from eating laundry pods since 2012 and 6 of those were adults with dementia.
