I heard on the news where kids were challenging others to swallow these. With all of the gadgets out there for kids to play with, why would they want to swallow harmful products? Never in my childhood have I ever been that bored.
-
Maybe they mistook the products for cookies or candy.
-
I have seen stuff that's just plain stupid that the kids of today do... as in run over the top of a car (a friend is driving at them slowly ) But then again , skate boarding down hand railings really isn't that safe. I got it figured we just hear more these days because of the internet. And as a kid me now almost being 60, 50 years ago we just had the local tv channels and really didn't hear much about people far away... plus back then kids doing stupid stuff got them a trip to behind the wood shed. :glasses-nerdy: :party: :glasses-nerdy:
-
I know you have to be short a few bricks already to eat one of these, its not just kids Ive seen where adults are also doing this
-
I just don't understand the hype. Kids need to get a life and actually do something with it.
-
They see a lot of stupid stuff posted on Kids YouTube! Our granddaughter loves to watch videos on it but we monitor what she watches so she's not seeing all the stupid stuff kids are doing.
-
I'm not quite sure why young people take on some of these dumb and dangerous challenges that they do these days. And then filming these challenges for everyone to see is just something that people of my generation would not have done as kids. But I'm seriously starting to suspect that these young people are looking for more and more dangerous challenges in order to feed something within them that desires better and better highs. It makes me sad. :(
-
Wow, that would be a really dumb challenge to take.
-
I'm not sure if they're swallowing them or just biting into them. Either way, they're all idiots! I don't know what people are thinking these days...
-
That's so dumb.
-
I don't understand these challenges. They're stupid. I know when we were young we did stupid things, but it was never that stupid and we didn't have the benefit of a warning label on literally everything.
-
I don't know why kids these days do some of the stupid things they do. I am sure they are aware of what the danger is of doing that.
-
My sister told me about this the other day. So stupid and dangerous.

Kids keep making up dumb challenges. Before this one, there was the knock out game, the fire challenge, put 'em in a grave, and the one with kids choking themselves or someone else.
-
OMG I haven't heard about that... in these cases though I ask myself.... where are the parents? How would not a kid (grown enough to challenge another one) not know what Tide Pods are and that swallowing that can kill you?
-
I don't mean to sound harsh but it's a saying, " Stupid is as Stupid does", they think its funny, not when a child dies from ingesting those harmful packets.
-
I had not heard about the Tide Pod challenge til this post. It is beyond my imagination why anyone would challenge another person to swallow one.
It seems to me that the challenger has to be of an age of REASON in order to even issue a challenge and therefore old enough to UNDERSTAND the dangers of it.

From what I understand they don't intend to swallow anything, it's about how long you can hold the foul taste in your mouth after you bite it. Reminds me of when I started smoking and how that eventually killed both my younger siblings. You would think that after gagging on the first puff we would have had enough sense to quit trying.
-
If a challenge is something like eating a hot pepper, okay, but what is the challenge even with this? Swallow this thing and see if you die?
-
The Cinnamon challenge seems genius compared to this
-
I wonder where/how that challenge even started? I hope that kids are smart enough NOT to do this
-

These aren't young kids in elementary school doing this. it's teens and young adults. You would think that they would know better but I'm beginning to have my doubts that each generation is getting dumber and no longer have any common sense. Sad.
-
wow ... if true that is just nuts. I can't even imagine considering doing something like that.
-
This is why I am scared for kids today: stupidity like this.
-
Are you serious? I hadn't heard this one before. Remember when they came out with the show "jack *bleep*?" The people who came up with that are likely now parents - scary!!! So it's no wonder kids are doing these ignorant, attention getting, self destructive acts. Apples don't fall from the tree's and with the lack of parental supervision it's no wonder kids are hopping on the band wagon to participate in such ludicrous. I'd like to challenge these kids (and adults) to read a book, help someone in need, be a good citizen and start using the brains they've been given for purpose.
-
these kids parents should wear them out.
-
This is not the only thing that kids have done that is bad for them. They have used other household chemicals to sniff up there nose and other things.
-
parents are getting lazy, when I was a kid they put a bar of soap in your mouth, when you cursed
-
Stupid. maybe they want to know how the bebe feels when they put them in the mouth.
-
The tid pod challenge really. upsets me. These kids have way better things to do, plus, detergent is expensive. it shouldn't be consumed!
-
Wow I was not aware of this when did this happen
-
Well, they are definitely not toys and not to play with. They are for laundry purposes.
-
Nothing new!
Kids think many things are candy.
And try to digest it.
-
TIDE has tried different packaging methods and approaches.
Just keep the TIDE pods away from kids.
-
I don't think that anyone should be asking for such a challenge of this kind because that is not ok for people nor children to eat Tited at any point of time we already have kids trying to put things in there moths at you get older
-
Just insane, other than being a way to charge more for less I see no point to pods, it really is not that hard to measure detergent plus then you can adjust for the load size
-

You have got to be kidding! The Tide pods do not look like cookies or candy. People are just stupid.

It doesn't have a lot to do with the internet. People in general are more stupid. Yes the internet allows stuff like the challenges to get out to people and people can video them selves being stupid and put it online. But I don't think it is just we hear it more. People really are more stupid. And people will do anything to get a high.
-

What do you mean where are the parents? You cannot watch a kid every minute of every day. How freakin hard would it be to get a Tide Pod and put it in your pocket and then put it in your mouth when you are in your room alone or the bath room or where ever. They know it is dangerous. They don't care.
-

They know it is not candy. Don't excuse the stupid. They know what it is and they know what they are doing. It does not even remotely look like candy.
-
I can't believe that someone would actually do this. Scary.
-
Dumb, stupid, dumb, stupid!!! Unbelievable what these kids are subjected to.
-
I sometimes think the kids now are just a little dumb. Why would anyone put a pod of soap In your mouth when you know it stupid and dangerous.
I am so glad I grew up in the 40's to the 60's, I can never remember doing something that stupid just because someone dared me. Me made our own fun and could be out until almost dark or when our parents hollered for us to come in. I think we so much healthier then they are now and in some ways smarter.
-
I have to admit I did the passout thing when I was a kid, but it scared me and I quit.
-
crazy! crazy! I keep wondering that these kids are going be adults. why!
-
I enjoy using the pods it is just so easy. Good invention!
-
Wow I was not aware of this when did this happen
It has been going on for a while
-

But you do not eat them. lol
-
Surprised they don't chase it with a shot of bleach. Seriously kids today are just too stupid. Here's a challenge, Use that thing between your ears and make your own decisions, not be influenced by other idiots who couldn't care less about you. ALSO DON'T DO DRUGS! 8)
-
Darwinism at it's finest. The annoying thing to come out of this is the new packaging. I'm an adult and I can't even get the blasted things open! >:(
-
It's not like these kids or younger then a mid middle school child these are bigger kids and now a days kids will try to prove a point to there friends because if there friends tells them they won't do it. And then they turn around and prove to them that they can
-
I just saw this on the news last night. :(
It doesn't surprise me because there's always something young people are doing that is terribly dangerous and/or stupid. Perhaps they feel that it's some sort of a rite of passage.
-
Definitely quite a harmful activity to do. I understand why they would do it but the reasoning is stupid.

Well explain it to the rest of us because I for the life of me cannot understand why anybody would do something as stupid as to eat something that will potentially kill them.
-
The scriptures state in Genesis 8:21 "...the inclination of the heart of man is bad from his youth up."
-
Wonder what the reason's would be to eat these thing's. A motive, a bet, or a challenge to see how many they can eat before death or vomiting. Kind of a strange thing for kids to do!!!!!
-

It is a CHALLENGE. And there is no how many can you eat. One is going to kill you if you do not get medical help after you swallow it. Google "what happens when you eat a tide pod". It isn't an eat it and throw up kind of thing. It is way more serious.
-
That had to be the dumbest challenge anyone who has ever come with with in the history of the internet. Its a horrible way to die and kids are nieve enough to do try it
-
Because people nowadays don't have a lick of sense.
-
If teens want to die over a stupid challenge.... so be it! There won't be a new batch of stupid teens doing stupid things to kill themselves since the ones that did die off couldn't produce the next generation of stupid offsprings'!
-
This is one of the most stupid things I have ever heard before, way more dangerous then the ice bucket challenge!
-

The ice bucket challenge was not dangerous. Stupid in my opinion. But not something that could kill you.
-
I still can't believe this is a thing. Dumb, dumb, dumb.
-
I don't understand this challenge! It's so stupid!
-
I saw this on youtube and was shocked that anybody would risk their health for such a dumb challenge.
-
This is a dangerous and stupid challenge.
-
I can't for the life of me figure out why the company that makes Tide hasn't just stopped making those pods (other that they are making gobs of money off them, of course!). They present such a danger to families, they really should be taken off the market altogether.
-

Seriously? WHY should Tide stop making a product that makes them a ton of money? It does not present a danger to families. People are friggin stupid. No, it should not be taken off the market just because people are stupid. Pretty sure it has had a warning on it from the start that says not to eat it. If you are stupid enough to eat them then you deserve to die.
-
OMG, this is the first i'm hearing about this. This is so sad what some are doing; don't they realize that they can die.
-

They don't care. Just like using drugs. They don't care. I honestly thing the world as a whole has crossed the point of no return. We have gone too far and there is no going back to sanity.
-
I saw that too, how stupid!! What is wrong with kids these days?
-
It's a terrible idea to be sure. But some kids will get into things that seem "cool" in the media or because of peer pressure from friends. Truly one of the best things parents can do for their children is to encourage them to think for themselves and be independent. It leaves them less vulnerable to foolishness like this.
-
I've heard about this and think any teenager who does this is just nuts!!!
-
I'm just hearing of it too, how sad :(
Wow I was not aware of this when did this happen
It has been going on for a while
-
i heard of this on the news too. these kids these day make up dumb challenges because they are bored. its not only younge kids that are trying this its the older ones as well
-
so ridiculous!! I don't understand
-
I'm just hearing of it too, how sad :(

I think it has died down on the media is just focusing on other stuff because I have not heard much from it lately.
