Tide pods and a few other brands are locked in a box. Why? Because a few idiots ate them in a challenge and got sick or died. This is the answer to that. Now what about mass shooting murders? Why is it hard to lawmakers to find a solution?

I know, good huh, straightforward and effective. Congress acted on that in a bipartisan way.

Are you really claiming Congress passed laws to require that laundry pods be secured?

Took 'em only a few hours to make sure no more dogs die in overheads, too...

And that was only for a few people getting sick or dying.

Be careful, there may be a straw man waiting for you.

Pointing and laughing is fine, too.

The lock boxes are in place to deter theft, nothing more. Although the challenge did increase theft of individual pods in stores, many stores in higher theft areas were securing these long before this challenge thing started. Stores that started locking them up after the challenge did so because of the theft increase; not to stop the eating of them.
