YOUTUBE TO TAKE DOWN TIDE POD-EATING VIDEOS

YouTube is taking down videos showing people eating laundry detergent after the so-called “Tide Pod challenge” went viral. The Tide Pod challenge is a social media phenomenon that has inspired a number of memes about people wanting to eat the colorful detergent pods. Although the challenge is mostly a joke, an increasing number of teenagers have reportedly been eating laundry pods, prompting warnings from poison control centers and Tide’s parent company Procter & Gamble to not ingest detergent. This year, 39 cases of people eating laundry pods on purpose were reported in the first 15 days of January, according to the American Association of Poison Control Centers.
* And half of those took place in the White House.
* If they take down the videos, how will I learn the right way to do it?
* This is why we as Americans can’t have nice things.
* If Tide doesn’t want us eating their soap, they shouldn’t make it so pretty.
* Why would you eat a detergent pod? For a cleanse?
* Remember when we thought “planking” was dumb?
