Many kids around the globe have been competing in the TIDE POD CHALLENGE.

This challenge includes taking a Tide pod laundry detergent and chewing it up before spewing the soap from their mouths.

This is obviously a very DANGEROUS challenge.

What do you think about this challenge?

Why are kids competing in this challenge?

Are kids really that dumb?

Explain.

  1. I have sadly heard about the interment meme tide pods. I have a feeling that a majority of kids are just doing this due to all the popularity of this challenge. kids aren't actually wanting to eat this, but because they think it'll make people laugh. in my opinion, this is the dumbest challenge along with the Kylie Jenner lip challenge and the condom challenge. when the internet sees something as popular, everyone goes crazy about it. kids themselves aren't stupid, however they just want to fit in. I think this will just blow over in a couple weeks like the rest of them did.

  3. In my opinion, this is the stupidest challenge the internet has seen. There have been other stupid challenges like the water bottle challenge, but there is no health risk in that challenge. I think kids are competing in this challenge for popularity and fame and to look cool to others that are doing it. I believe that the kids aren't necessarily dumb, just that the chance for popularity overcame their common sense.

  4. I think that this is the dumbest challenge this world go near the has ever seen. this challenge is like challenging someone to commit suicide because of how deadly it can be. i think that parents shouldnt allow their kids to even go near the laundry room. i think kids are competing in this challenge to fit in and to be "cool". but they dont realize the harm they are putting to their lives. finally yes kids are that dumb especially our generation.

  5. Honestly I can't believe how dumb our society is, I can't believe that kids are actually eating soap. I know that I'm not the brightest but c'mon I'm not going to go eat soap that can poison me. Kids are just making our generation look dumber (I know I can't talk), but like this is seriously one of the dumbest things ever.

  6. First off, this is disgusting! Just the thought of having a tide pod in my mouth is revolting. I cannot believe what some people do just to get attention and laughs. There have been so many internet competitions involving children in the past few years and apparently they just seem to get dumber and dumber. I think that kids simply do these things because they want others to think they’ll cool. Although, this really isn't the right way to do it.

  7. I think challenge is stupid. Like who would want to put tide pods in their mouth. First of all, it's toxic so you're gonna die, second, well ew. I think kids are doing this to prove that they are tough and they can do anything but honestly I think it's rather disgusting because it's basically soap. And yes kids are really that dumb these days because they want to be the next social media influencer and there is social influencers that are dumb as them aka Donald Trump.

  8. I don't think that they're dumb I just think that they're way too cultural and that they like taking risks and seeing their own results. Of course I think that this is a dangerous challenge but think about their mentality. The millennial generation is taught that we're all different and special and this makes people disbelieve in others results for challenges and do it to personally know what it's like. Also, memes has now become a culture in first world countries and anyone with a good meme can make other people fall for it because it's tradition. I'm not promoting this tide pod eating challenge I'm just explaining their mentality.

  9. The ingredients: soap, bleach, citric acid. Anyone who puts this in their body is not necessarily stupid, but maybe seeking attention from those around them. It's a cry for help. Maybe there is an element of stupidity, but each of them knew what they were putting into their body. There are other ways to seek help, but this is an excessive way to. When the label says keep out of reach from children, teens should know that this shouldn't apply to them.

  11. Tide pod poem:
    Tide pods are the best
    Tide pods in my mouth is a flavor fest
    They help me when I am stressed
    There so good they're even blessed
    After eating one, i can have a nice rest
    I eat one then I get dressed
    If i run out its a tide pod quest
    There so easy to digest
    Have one, I guarantee you will be impressed
    Tide pods are the best.

    There you have it

  13. i think its kinda funny people chewing them and then spitting out. i honestly couldnt really care less what they do but yea its stupid but i guess thats what seeks attention. i think this challenge is very hard to do, to have the courage to put it in ur mouth is quite something. the bar is set really high idk whats next.

    2. I don't think it takes courage, I think it takes an idiot to do it

  14. I think the people who took on the challenge thought that since they will spit it out, it's safe. Of course it really isn't since it proves difficult to actually wash it out. So people are gonna eat it, they will spite it out and clean their mouth. Then, they'll realize that the tidepods sticks in the mouth and probably swallow some detergent in the process.

  15. At first I thought it was hilarious and people would know it was a joke. Boy was I wrong, when teens started to put tide pods in their mouth it made me think that this generation has no hope. Now new outlets and important people have to state the audience. i think I also heard about tide stopped making tide pods because of this. We ruin amazing products.

  16. Honestly I don't know why this even became a challenge. There are not even words to describe how stupid it is to drink laundry detergent. people have actually died because of this challenge and the only reson they did it was to get views on youtube or wherever else they posted it. People probably want to do this only because it has become really popular online, and that's dumb. People shouldn't be that easily influenced by their celebrity "role models".

  17. why is this even even a thing? Like honestly this isn't safe or really a challenge, more or less a cry for help and attention. I don't think the teens doing this “challenge” are necessarily dumb but just didn't think the consequence through or knew the real consequences of eating one. Honestly who wants that in their mouth. I personally don’t and hope you don't either.

  18. Yes, sadly, kids are this dumb. Kids do it because of the popularity of the challenge. Doing the Tide Pod challenge reels in views on Youtube or really any social media. Some people just think it’s hilarious to see someone get hurt, and I also think kids don’t understand how dangerous it really is. They think that they can do it, get views or likes or whatnot, and then they'll be fine. Anyone participating in this challenge is definitely not smart.

  19. This so called “challenge” is really stupid and absolutely ridiculous! The consequences are obviously extremely fatal! I truly don’t understand why kids are doing this. Yes, kids can be dumb. But are they really that brainless? I think that the decisions they make like these ones are the ones that they don’t think through. Everything that you do has a consequence!! There are positive and negative outcomes to everything you do. But does this challenge really have a positive ending? NO! That’s why you have to think before you do something! I really don’t recommend trying this challenge!

    1. You know what challenge does have a positive ending? The finger filet challenge. If you win you get a beer. If you lose, you lose a finger but you'll still get a beer :)

  20. This challenge is one of the dumbest challenges yet. This is a challenge where people are risking their lives just because they want to be like everyone else. They think that because it is a popular challenge they should do it. When everyone loses interest over this challenge and moves onto the next thing, so many people will have died because of it just so that they an fit in with the crowd. This shows how you're risking your life for something that is 1) a really stupid thing to do and 2) a challenge that nobody will even think twice about in the next month. I don't think that these kids are dumb they might be very insecure and think that they will be considered cool if they do this challenge. I also think people might want to do it for bragging rights if they survive from this challenge. This is a challenge that I would never in a million years even consider doing!

  21. i think that this challenge is completely ridiculous, i dont understand what makes you want to do this challenge, you risk death and it doesn't even taste good, the only reason i could think of is QUALITY CONTENT. i would never do this challenge i dont see the point although you must wonder what it tastes like, i mean they do look pretty tasty...

  22. I think that this challenge is beyond insane and dumb, kids could be doing better things than eating laundry detergent. I used to eat a spoonful of cinnamon and see if I would choke or not, now that's a real challenge. Kids do these types of stupid activities because of memes we see on the internet. And yes, kid's are really that dumb. Instead of playing with tide pods, play with your hand... and slap yourself.

  23. This makes me mad!! Here we are hearing people complain about 2017 and then they walk into 2018 eating tide pods! I seriously don't understand why kids do this. It's so inconsiderate. Doing that to yourselves when you have family and friends who care about you. I honestly think that I was born in the wrong generation because I don't understand today's teenagers. I have no patience for stupidity like this. Stop eating tide pods and do your homework!!

  24. To be completely honest, i think this challenge, just like all the countless other challenges our generation has come up with, i think it’s hilarious. Yes of course it’s absolutely stupid that teens are taking tide pods and actually chewing them because it’s very dangerous and can lead to death, but teens wouldn’t be doing it unless there was an audience there to give them a laugh. I’ll admit that online when i see tide pod jokes, i’ll laugh because some are really funny, now the videos that people are posting of them actually doing the challenge, i think its really bad and im concerned for them because they're risking their lives to get a funny clip. I think kids are doing this challenge because it’s the current hype online, the same thing with cinnamon challenge, the kylie jenner lip challenge, and countless others, people do it because they have a chance at gaining so many new followers online for something so stupid. I think these people are so dumb, if they are going to risk their lives by ingesting something so poisonous for you, at least eat something that doesn't just look appealing but also tastes good

  25. I think this challenge is by far, the most idiotic challenge known to human kind. Kids are swallowing Tide pods as a "challenge". I think the main reason that kids are doing this is because they want to be part of the social trend. Most trends that one person starts, most people follow because it's the "trend" now. It's so stupid. Why would you risk your life over some stupid challenge that everyone knows is a bad idea. Yes, kids are really this dumb because some teenagers in sec 3, even sec 2 are drinking alcohol and smoking cigarettes/weed.
