Okay this is like that “helpful” warning printed on the driver’s side sun visor of my car telling me not to remove the T-roof panels while the car is in motion.

Regarding our dishwasher soap, the cleaned items have a slippery substance left on them. You probably haven’t noticed and it’s probably harmless.

But when I dip a knife into our “I can’t believe it’s not butter”, the material slides off. If I first wipe the knife on a napkin or the like, and I mean thoroughly wipe with pressure, the butter sticks ok to the knife.

Guess slippery knife blades are one price we pay for low phosphorous soap, or more exactly, a rinse material that is injected after the washing is over.

This article says a lot about New York Magazine’s opinion of their own readership.

Maybe Tide should pull this product and go back to the drawing board?

Why?

The stupid people will die.

This is a good thing.

Besides pods are now being made by many other companies.

Well, first of all, they are a business, and they will get sued and get bad publicity and lose money.

Second, is the punishment for stupidity death?

Why would they be sued?

And after all this time. Pods have been out for ages. If people are so stupid as to eat them now they would have a defense in that no one deliberately ate them until some nitwit made a YouTube video encouraging them to do so. Go sue YouTube.

We have had yummy smelling lemon scented cleaner for ages. Somehow those companies have manages to avoid being sued.

Second, is the punishment for stupidity death?

Mother nature is not nice. The punishment for stupidity is often painful slow death.

Ask the kids who ate yew berries.

Might want to get out the Ouija board.

LOL...it’s like the kid in “A Christmas Story” who was a connoisseur of all the different soaps you could get your mouth washed out with!

Heheh, I went into a porta-potty a while back and it was as disgusting as any of them often are, but...it had a really nice cinnamon smell!

I was marveling over this, then remembered that the smell it was covering up was still there underneath it all!

GAAAHHH!

Wouldn’t that make a great buzzfeed video: 7 year olds taste test construction glues.

Oh, it’s not as if I’m scrubbing them on a washboard or anything. The water bill is hugh, though.
