LOGAN, Utah (WABC) -- A dangerous social media stunt took a serious turn in Utah.
A college student was hospitalized after ingesting a Tide Pod. Utah State University says it happened Saturday afternoon in a dorm.
There is no word on the student's condition, but she was conscious after medics put her in an ambulance.

How can people be so stupid...
If was the CEO, I’d pull the product and redesign.
It’s how we got out of getting our mouths washed out with soap. Help....Mom is trying to murder me....
Darwinism in action if you just let them die.
Darwin Awards in a box.
>>If was the CEO, I’d pull the product and redesign.
As what? A big rectangular cardboard box full of soap and a scoop?
You can’t design around this kind of intentional stupid.
But my don’t she smell fresh?!
When I was a kid mom taught us to do laundry not eat the soap, all this was done to raise you to wipe yer own butt as a young adult
What say the snobs that look down their noses at the uneducated rubes.
Beyond stupid.
You can’t buy laundry detergent in a box anymore? Is everything in little plastic capsules now?
Pod People
The old man taught you how to make a grilled cheese sammich and can of campbells tomater soup, so’s you don’t starve
This is idiotic even by teenage boy standards.
Yeah, that's right. I stole that from a faceook meme so sue me.
Before I heard about the phony “viral” challenge on YouFraud (it is people playing dumb on the internet just like the celebs pretending to be flat earthers), I look at this product on a shelf in the grocery store.
I think it worked out cheaper per load that the regular Tide detergent. As I read the package it warned against having it make contact with your skin (warning sign) and it said that it should not be used to soak stains out of clothing (concentrated formula, so I’d have to buy another soap to treat stains). I figured it wasn’t worth it (or even a better mousetrap).
Be funny if this happened at Bama.
Roll Tide, indeed!
Potential Darwin award nominee.
So few details in that “news article” (I don’t watch the videos or ads) that I suspect it could even be an urban legend (the print press and broadcast media have spread urban legends for 70+ years, just because it was in print didn’t make it “true”).
Was she on drugs/alcohol at the time? Was she poisoned by others? Suicide attempt?
Don’t even have a name, she should be an adult.
“Lye which is in most laundry detergent “
