Nope, the Tide Pod challenge isn’t going away any time soon, especially when alcohol is involved. 

One bar in New York City had a dream of taking the meme trend, make it not kill people, and even get people drunkBarcelona Bar has begun selling Tide Pod shots (without the detergent).

The Barcelona-style shot bar is known for their extensive list of themed shots inspired by pop culture, so it’s no surprise that one of the biggest (and dangerous) challenges is offered by them in liquid form.

OK, I feel obligated to begin this by saying you should not eat Tide pods no matter how tempting they look and no matter how much you love forbidden snacks. 

But, if you love the idea of this dumb challenge sweeping the nation and you feel good about Valentine’s Day as a holiday, you might be one of the few people considering giving the gift of detergent on Feb. 14 this year. 

Not quite sure how to make Tide pods a presentable present for your lover? Twitter user @high_tower has an idea. She hilariously created the American Association of Poison Control Centers’ worst nightmare onto a box of chocolates and voila, there you have it—a perfect photoshopped gift for the meme lover/actual lover of your life.  Read more…

Brace yourselves: there has been an embarrassing uptick in the number of teens eating Tide Pods.

With a “HIGH ALERT,” the American Association of Poison Control Centers (AAPCC) shared an urgent press release on the current state of Tide Pod consumption in the United States. 

“Last week, AAPCC reported that during the first two weeks of 2018, the country’s poison control centers handled thirty-nine intentional exposures cases among thirteen to nineteen year olds,” the report read. 

That number didn’t last long, however.  “That number has increased to eighty-six such intentional cases among the same age demographic during the first three weeks of 2018.” Read more…

sudshr47 January 20, 2018

 Blockchain has become the latest buzzword in the technology industry, but many people are still in the dark about just what exactly it means. Thanks to Raine Revere, we have a bit of a better grasp on what the blockchain entails as well as some of its implications.

Tide Pod craze shows there’s such a thing as bad publicity

It’s the year 2018 and every advancement in our society has been stifled by the consumption of Tide Pods. 

The desire to eat a laundry pod—specifically Tide’s detergent product, packaged in plastic dissolvable packets—has taken over the internet for better or for worse. It’s popped up on pizzas and been recreated as edible donuts, and tweets regarding the consumption of the pods have gone viral countless of times. YouTube even started pulling videos of people eating them (please, for the love of laundry, don’t eat Tide Pods). 

Brand awareness has probably never been higher for Tide than it is today, but the whole idea that “there’s no such thing as bad publicity” doesn’t quite work in the age of the internet anymore—and whether or not the 7-year old product will survive is unknown. So what’s Tide to do next?  Read more…
