N.Y. Lawmakers Want to Make Tide Pods Look Less Edible
Time ^ | 2/7/18

New York state lawmakers want Tide to stop making its pods look so appealing. Assemblywoman Aravella Simotas and Sen. Brad Hoylman proposed a bill Tuesday that would require Proctor & Gamble to individually wrap each pod and add warning labels to them, reports NBC New York. The lawmakers also want the pods to be made less colorful, claiming that their bright colors “can make them appealing to young children, adults with dementia, and those looking to take part in the internet trend known as ‘Tide Pod Challenge.’ That said, don’t expect a change anytime soon. Proctor & Gamble responded to the lawmaker’s request by saying that additional packaging would cause a tremendous impact on the environment without actually preventing ingestion by children. It went on to say that studies show that colorful packaging does not increase the likelihood that children will ingest dangerous products.

Fresh cat turds, with litter still suck to them, could even include the au de cologne.

'course, less people would be willing to use them in the dishwasher.

Make them cocoa brown. And then accuse anyone who promotes and undertakes this ridiculous challenge of being a racist. Presto.

Schools fail, packaging fails, government fails, humans fail. So what else is new? Another attempt to correct all the previous for the last time? Nonsense.

Which is worse these days? The smoking, or the fact that his face looks like male genitalia.

I’d be happy if they just made Tide Pods work. I guess someone noticed they didn't’t clean so well so decided to taste one?!

Put DeBlasio’s face on them. That will make sure the little jerks will never eat a soap pod again!

Ive never seen a “tide pod” but its surprising that, with all this adverse political publicity alleging its a dangerous product, the manufacturer hasn’t already changed the appearance of the product

The problem isn’t Tide, it’s the idiots who want to eat it.

>>Again, people are not taking the Tide Pod Challenge because they think this is candy! What would be the challenge of, “Look! I’m eating some Starburst! Can you believe it?!”

There are candy challenges

This just in, don't take the Cadbury Creme Egg Laundry Day challenge. They may ruin your clothes.

The problem is not the manufacturer. As always, they blame and sue the manufacturer because there is more money there.

When an ignorant mother doesn’t stop her kid from eating the things, they sue the manufacturer. Wrong. Let the people take responsibility for their actions.
