KTLA: The viral Tide Pod Challenge is likely the reason behind some Walmart stores locking up the product behind glass to prevent people from stealing them.
The challenge dares people to bite into the soap on camera.
The Tide Laundry Pods kept behind a thick wall of glass, under lock and key, according to KTLA sister station KTXL.
“I don’t know what people are thinking, man, that’s kind of crazy, you know. It’s like comparing it to alcohol,” said University of the Pacific student John Kim.
The extra security is to ward off would-be thieves, according to a Walmart spokesperson.
“It’s kind of ridiculous that they have to lock it up,” said UOP student Sang Vo.
In Modesto and Stockton laundry pods that used to be easily accessible are no more.
Dennis Miller had a funny comment that Joe Kennedy the 36th (or whatever the hell he is) had mistakenly thought he had entered a Tide Pod challenge last night.
What, no lawsuit by attention-seeking youtube morons for discrimination against attention-seeking morons because an oft-stolen product is locked up?
Unlock them. Let Darwin sort them out.
In other news, 47 of the lower 48 United States are suing the state of California for violations of the Cross-State Air Pollution Rule. The 47 states complain that California’s constant and uncontrolled open burning violate the rule. 😉
Paging Gloria Allred.
“That’s raaaaacissss!” in 3…2…1….
Someone wrote that youtube keeps deleting tide pod challenge videos as they’re uploaded. Yeah, that’ll teach those dummies.
BTW- Why is everyone ‘label conscience’ about products (including teens) but no one actually reads and understands them?
Finally Walmart is locking up a non-racial product! Now this will cause the hair-care folks to settle down
/s
I’m sure the actual purchaser is not the one taking the challenge it is their kids. So now what, require parents to keep laundry pods under lock and key at home?
You can have my Tide Pods when you can pry them from my cold, dead mouth.
Can we set up a Go Fund Me to reimburse Walmart for any losses if they unlock the damn things?
Sorry to direct traffic to fb. Great meme for a post on this or Nanny Pelosi.

Eat as many as you want kids. Or do your own laundry with ’em. Whatever.
Maybe the teens will stop swearing every other word. Soap used to work when our parents used it on our little foul mouths.
So the idiots in society force inconvenience and frustration upon the rest of us. Just like when they locked up certain cough medicines because of the misuse of it by the same thought processes. Thanks, morons.
You guys do know I love you deplorables?
I’m glad I read through, all runs, no disappointments, no errors.
I wonder if they would be so quick to drink Hemlock tea.
Socrates thought it a good idea.
According to some esteemed scholars, locking shit up is RAAAAAAAAAAACCCCISSSSSST! Clearly, diversity and sensitivity training is needed so that those who wish to eat detergent can do so without discrimination or oppression.
Confucius say, boy who eat Tide Pods fart soap bubbles.
…Shouldn’t interfere with Nature’s “survival of the fittest!”
