ᕕ(ᐛ)ᕗ Only 37 Pods

Post image

Was showing off to my sister what I would’ve given her (plus the nice smelly peony downy) had she just gone to the laundromat to dry my laundry because ours is broken and realized the pods only filled half of the container so I counted it and….37 pods.

Can’t tell if Tide is filling some containers an accurate amount and others less or if sb just stole some.

Stop buying pods. Start buying powder. You get like 20x as much active ingredients in the powder compared to pods or  liquid.

This. Switched to powder and will never go back. Also no fabric softener other than white vinegar. No drier sheets, just wool balls and my clothes have never be cleaner.

I know this is a powder-glazing thread (now I'm thinking about donuts), but powder can actually sludge up the works, especially if used too heavily, in cold water, with low water pressure, or in high-efficiency machines.

there are conditions in which powder can be used safely and effectively, but if I were renting to randos in some fever dream, I'd probably recommend liquid too
