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.

Eh, no big deal—just make them stamp them with “Detergent, not food!”

Considering all the warnings put on ladders, etc., this one should be simple.

NY Lawmakers don't understand.... well, much of anything at all, do they?

Here's a freebie. A consultant would sell you this advice for $20K.

Nobody eats 'Tide pods' because they 'look edible'.

Stupid f**ks.

I guess it was more of a blanket policy of keeping all of that kind of stuff out of their reach, and the laundry room was pretty much a no-go zone for them when they were little.

Heck...most teenagers don't know where the laundry room is!

“I seem to recall some freeper stories of putting on a cape to gain Superman powers and then jumping off the roof to fly.”

When I was six (1963), I had a Superman costume. I loved it. Printed on the shirt tail was a disclaimer warning that “This suit will not make you fly. Only Superman can fly.” Did I jump off of something to test it? Of course! But I had enough sense or at least was skeptical enough not to test it from a high roof. After all, Superman could take off from the ground. Point is, even “back in the day” there were Darwin Award candidates and lawyers trying to protect them by having inane warnings printed on things.

Toss those with some olive oil, garlic powder, and parmesan cheese and then bake them in the oven.
Yummy!
