Every once in a while there is a new fad diet that takes the world by storm. Paleolithic diets, gluten-free diets, low-carb diets, veganism — these are all examples of popular diets. The diet that I am talking about today promises to keep your clothes six times cleaner than its competitors. “How does it do this?” you might ask.

Well, it creates an environment for the individual user where they don’t even need to do laundry: a hospital, or potentially the afterlife. Now, when I eat my Tide PODS®, I like to combine them with a little bit of bleach, just to really set in the toxicity of it all. Maybe bleach will be the new fad-meme diet?

This meme can be dated back to College Humor’s video about the food-like appearance of Tide PODS® in March 2017. And, although Tide PODS® have always been beautiful poison, the meme has just recently risen to mass internet fame. It is slightly forced, but I give this meme an 8/10 Strange Hubbs Certified Freshness Seal of Approval.
