seriously i was unaware of the amount of HATRED for the POD. who in the world wants to * around with pouring liquid or powder, when you can drop a pre-measured pod into the washer? it’s a godsend for anyone sending a kid off to college to do their laundry for the first time in their lives. i am willing to PAY for convenience, if you don’t want convenience then you can feel free to get your bar of fels naptha soap and washboard and go out back to the dang creek to wash clothes!!
I’m a single dad. I have 4 daughters with varying degrees of give-a-sh*t (all generally low), and if i don’t ever have to deal with spilled liquid detergent or a box of powder soap flakes ever again, only to have all 4 deny making the mess, then it is TOTALLY worth it for me. I think they do a superior job, as well.
If I can simplify all aspects of my life by 10% like the pods seem to have done, I’m all for it.
And hell yeah, I use the dishwasher pod things, too.
