In a classic example of ‘the problem is definitely not the flaws of humanity, it is instead the fault of other factors that are 100% NOT us,’ there has been a call to change the look of Tide Pods to “make them less delicious looking.”

Two New York-based lawmakers (two qualified adults) have put in a plea to the state to make sure adults – real, grown-up people with mortgages and Netflix accounts  – don’t EAT THEM.

How do we reconcile this with what we know to be true about those around us? Think about your friends – do any of them seem like they would eat something just because of the pretty colours? Yes? Get new friends – they pose a huge poison liability risk.

There are enough people like them that the law potentially needs to be changed to alter a seemingly functional object because people are taking the “I dare you to eat this thing that may kill you” a little too seriously.

Have we reached the end? 

Probably.
