I think those little laundry pods look a bit like the photo of jewel candies beside the recipe for same in a candy and cookie cookbook I have. But to xs’s point, does anyone eat even a visually appealing food item if it doesn’t have an odor of food?
my SIL reminded me that my niece, who is now 26 yo and a librarian, drank something lemony smelling from her grandmothers detergent cup when she was small. She didn’t even get sick, just said i do NOT LIKE whatever grandmother has in that cup, it does NOT taste good. xsSIL called poison control and they said just give them plenty to drink to dilute it. this little piglet is the same niece who came to xshub and i, when they were visiting and before we had kids of our own, to ask “Can i have this candybar [a supersized snickers, gigunda!]” and i said, well you have to ask your mom and she replied “but she’ll say no!”
