    And you are demanding the design be changed not to look like candy, you have a sh”t ton of stupid in your community, and across the nation you have to address. I am not making this up, literally enough stupid people have not seen the warning signs on the packages to see if does not belong in the candy aisle. Enough stupid retailers are locking them up.

    “I’m for it. Toddlers don’t know any better.”

    So this is going to sound tasteless, even heartless, but if your kid is understanding they aren’t supposed to sh’t their pants, they sure as hell have the capability to know Tide Pods are not peppermints. Don’t go blaming Procter and Gamble for your bad parenting, or Walmart, or Target, keep your Pods out of reach. If your child eats them, call Poison Control while heading to the ER. If that child dies, it wasn’t Tides fault. Plain and simple, it was yours. That’s why I find it so humorous when I read these stories of lawmakers making emotional pleas holding Tide Pods up like Rafiki did Simba in front of cameras to P&G when it should be the pile of stupid in their community they should address.

    Don’t lock up Pods or change designs, fix the stupid behind it.

    Clearly we need Tide Pod control laws.

    Maybe we could limit tide pod sales to one box a month and do background checks on anyone who wants to buy one.

    Also we could limit them to one pod per box that would definitely save lives.

    The thing about these Podsis they work exactly like that Cascade Pos stuff. The thing is Tide has more band recognition and a pack of Tide Pods is cheaper than Cascade Pods. All in all, they have similar ingredients.

    I agree that it shouldn't be the government's job to make Tide change their pods.
