Walmart Locks up Tide Pods at Some California Stores

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.

  1. 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. 😉

  2. 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?

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.
