1. They are also enticing to some people my age(old)

since we were the first generation raised with junk food. Those look yummy to me. I'm glad younger people are not buying so much of this sort of thing for their kids.

Teens are daring each other to eat Tide pods. We don't need to tell you that's a bad idea.

First, it was the “gallon challenge” and the “cinnamon challenge.”

Then some teenagers started playing the “bath-salt challenge.”

They have dared each other to pour salt in their hands and hold ice till it burns, douse themselves in rubbing alcohol and set themselves ablaze, and throw boiling water on unsuspecting peers.

Now videos circulating on social media are showing kids biting into brightly colored liquid laundry detergent packets. Or cooking them in frying pans, then chewing them up before spewing the soap from their mouths.

Experts say the game, dubbed the “Tide pod challenge,” is dangerous.
