Tide Pods II

It's the sequel, which is always worse, and much less original.

I was at the dollar store today, and I saw these right by the checkout line.


Looks like candy, right? It'd be nice to get a nice bag of Airheads at the last minute. With all the worthless dollar store crap you put in your cart, you forgot to grab some kind of treat. But wait, look a little closer.


That's not candy, that's a bag of bath bombs.


It's bath bombs inspired by the scent of candy...that's a great idea, right? It would smell so good. And we probably ought to package it in a way that makes it look exactly like candy too, so that nobody could tell the difference.


Because we haven't had any problems with kids having trouble telling the difference between toxic soap products and candy.


Oh wait, little kids have needed to head to the emergency room because of confusing Tide Pods with candy...as well as stupid teenagers who have taken the Tide Pod challenge on YouTube too. After all that, Airheads thought it was a good idea to make candy bath bombs? I guess it takes a long time for stuff to trickle down and permeate society enough that we will all realize that this is not a good idea, and automatically steer clear of it.

It's like that Jack In The Box commercial making the rounds these days:

Because I live in a region where there are no Jack in the Boxes because of that infamous incident where an employee actually Jacked . . . well, you remember, I'd not seen that commercial.

Good, good stuff.
