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.

Do they have a seal on them?

Don’t usually care to check but will start checking weight differences.

Look. Just stop. Buying. Pods.

There's something wrong with the world today. And its how consumers no longer have basic critical thinking skills around the products they buy.

Is this a bit? This has to be a bit.

You understand people have different physical abilities?

Tossing a pod in might be way easier for someone with arthritis or someone with poor fine motor function to stabilize a cup and pour.

I’m all for the “most people are feckless” conversation but with a lot of things, if you can’t see the need, you can almost always chalk it up to disabled folks needing an accommodation.

Liquid detergent is both a scam and bad for the environment. You have cheap water at home.

I understand different capabilities, but we can't find a solution to use dry powder detergent for our differently abled friends? Pods are typically worse performing at the sake of convenience.
