Are Tide Laundry Pods Edible?

[askolover]

Jim-IowaBear...

 

I use this detergent in my old-school Kitchenaid.  It also has chlorine in it like the stuff from Worldwide Janitor.  So far I a very pleased with its performance.  I can tell a difference when Tony does the dishes with chlorine based gel and when I do them with this.  I think it does a better job than the Cascade fryer boilout does.  I have a water softener and had to abandon using ANY pods/packs in my dishwasher...it would foam out the door!

Leave my pods alone!

I just hate it when they mess with these pods. I use them for my family's laundry and I'd hate for them to be discontinued! Consumer Reports should just leave my tide pods alone! And NO!!!! I've never eaten them nor will I NEVER eat them! I know better than that! So should college students!

Eating Tide Pods

Makes me think of something equally as dumb, A Good friend of mine ran the furnace service dept for a large oil company in my hometown, one day back in the 60s he said a man called and asked him, Mr Jones, if I mix a gallon of gas with 5 gallons of fuel oil and run it thru my oil furnace will it clean it out, James said Damn right it will clean it out, and hung up..LOL

No! They're not!

They're dangerous! If you want to do the tide pods challenge, do a load of dark colored clothes with blood on them with a tide power pod heavy-duty laundry detergent on the normal cycle and cold water. I did this yesterday with my Kenmore elite front loader with a load of blues, one of which had blood on a pair of jeans. I used the usual normal/casual cycle with cold water with accelawash, auto-soak and 3 extra rinses. My dad didn't see the blood stain again. It was gone. I used 2 pods for good measure, along with arm and hammer scent boosters in purifying waters and downy fabric softener in the bliss scent.

I use powdered detergent so I won’t have to worry. Don’t know why people are doing this so called Tide challenge but all this is doing is making me more and more wise to NOT eat detergent. I don’t buy into these latest trends most of which can be foolish if not dangerous.

stupid people

I swear, these stupid people! SMH!

Why bring back old threads just to criticize the posters over again, which if you read the threads, you would see everyone thought it was dumb. Old postings should finally die, not to be brought back.

How’s the saying goes

No point beating up a dead horse

Jerome, can you please do me a favor, stop beating on a dead horse along to posting the same thing over and over and over and over again. You literally keep on posting on old threads in the deluxe forum index about the old GE Filter Flo machines so on and so forth or how people don’t use common sense, it’s getting kind of old. Even kept on bugging me non stop in the comments section on making videos of the 1963 Whirlpool Imperial dryer I have and kept on explaining on how I was limited on storage but persisted on anyways, even bugged my friend Richard as well and even bugged me about making a video of the Frigidaire dishwasher I have which is newer.

Hi Sean, I couldn’t agree more but it’s a little ironic coming from you. We have a loss members like Martin yogi tunes because of your continuous post about your turquoise, whirlpools and your halo if he dryers. Just think of how many times you’ve posted about that time dry top-of-the-line Maytag dryer you created it’s a very nice thing, but it doesn’t deserve 30 posts

There is no point in repeatedly posting the same thing from anybody,

John

I am changing my ways, been ‘toning it down’ if you will in the past week or so. Never too late in life to change things.

 

[combo52]

Hi Sean, I’m glad to hear you’re considering toning it down a bit a lot of us members who have been here a long time had very high hopes for you. We are always anxious to have younger people get interested in this hobby.

Look forward to your posts, John.

Hi John, I’ll admit I do post a lot about the customized Maytag dryer I put together this spring along with the ‘63 WP MK12 set, but I like to give people an idea what I am talking about. I’ve read many threads over the years (even before I joined AW) and some people mentioned they had a rare and unique machine but had no photos of them, I know some people aren’t very tech savvy which is understandable but I just like to be honest and show what I have. I feel that if I weren’t to post any photos, I feel like I am being dishonest and anyone on the internet could claim they have a dozen rare machine in their collections or claim they have seen every automatic washer ever made.

Maybe I should devote more time and energy to making more videos of my machines (can’t make any videos on the ‘63 MK12 until the timer is sorted out) since I am not too far off from 1,000 subscribers on YouTube and once you have over a thousand subscribers on YT, you will be eligible for monetization.

Technically I have been ‘toning it down’ for the past 200 posts or so and yes there have been a few blips here and there but am considering just not arguing with anyone anymore, would rather devote that time and energy towards something else as mentioned above.

Guys, come on.

AFAIK, AWO is the very best place in the world for people like us (washing machine and applian e enthusiasts) to get together, have fun, exchange information and knowledge.

As soon as we ALL follow the rules (which by the way are not rocket science), I don't see a problem with anybody posting anything they want.

If I'm not interested, or if it's a subject that I don't like or that's not useful for me, I just scroll down and pass to the next thread.

Somebody ate tide pods and farted bubbles? Somebody glued a giant dildo on the top of a GM frigidaire washer pulsator?
Somebody converted a 1966 beetle into an EV? Who cares? It may not be interesting for me, but may be interesting for somebody else. Not being interesting for me doesn't give me the right to ask the person that posted "how dare you post something that I'm not interested?"

I think many people here need to learn the meaning of the word TOLERANCE.

Sean, I don't know you personally (yet, which is a shame considering we're only a couple hundred miles away).

I see your posts and comments here and also your Facebook posts.

I dont see myself driving a vintage car, I don't absolutely love vintage cars, but I always see your posts and I admire how you take good care of them. I even confess sometimes I stalk the pictures on your Facebook admiring those vintage models, many of them I've never seen before because most cars back in Brazil were European-based, except for the Ford Galaxy and the Chevy impala (Opala in Brazil because impala doesn't translate well in Portuguese).
Anyways, please keep your freedom and never allow anybody to shut you up or say you cannot express the way you want, as soon as you follow the set of rules set by Robert.

Regarding the GE Filter Flo, well, maybe it should just go to the imperial to keep things tidy.

John, you're such a nice guy, I had the honor to meet you when I was still a newbie immigrant here, almost 10 years ago. You have such brilliant insights, but sometimes you're a little too bitter. You don't need that, life is too short to waste time complaining about a thread. Just scroll down to the next thread, no drama needed.
