There’s a new sensation sweeping the nation(!)…and it’s totally baffling. There’s been a lot of hype lately about people eating laundry detergent pods, for some reason. You know, those swirly little things you put in your washing machine that sort of look like candy but are actually soap. And it gets even better! News reports say that adults are eating more laundry pods than children!

And because of the day and age we live in, the people of the Internet have jumped all over this trend and are making some hilarious pod-related memes. A word to the wise: those pods may look delicious (they don’t), but they’re extremely harmful to your health, so please don’t eat them.
