Study Says Up to 75% Of Plastics From Detergent #Pods Enter The Environment, Industry Says They Safely Biodegrade

by Jeff Kart, August 2021

"First we were told: Don’t put detergent pods in your mouth. Remember the #TidePod Challenge? Now a study says the pods aren’t necessarily an eco-friendly option for your washing machine or dishwasher.

"That’s because the pods can contribute to plastic pollution when they’re used the 'right' way. They leak large amounts of untreated PVA that can potentially enter #groundwater resources and #water systems and #contaminate the human food chain, according to a literature review by researchers with Arizona State University and the California nonprofit Plastic Oceans International."

In an alternate present, humans became nearly #extinct because the entire Earth population, out of nowhere, suddenly emptied store shelves from Tide Pod products and then did the #tidepod eating challenge simultaneously. #Apocalypse #BirdBoxParody

WeedagarChallenge? Did I just dumb-luck myself into the next #TidePod challenge? You would not believe how tempting it is to dip my pinky in this stuff and put it on the tip of tongue...

Generations apart, yet so similar...
