...or at least the retards that think eating detergent is "fun."

In the first 15-days of the new year, as millennials are on break from overpriced universities, poison control centers across the country have received 39 calls of teens poisoning themselves after they ate the highly toxic laundry pod.

On Tuesday, the American Association of Poison Control Centers (AAPCC) released a statement warning Americans about the “potential poison exposure to single-load laundry packets.”

Because, it's a dare. Teen-aged males, and more than a few females, are hard wired to take a dare if challenged. Put them in a group and the risk of giving and taking a dare doubles or triples. They don't have fully formed frontal lobes until around age 25 and are still essentially stupid morons who think they know everything. It's also not a new Millennial idea either. I mean, why do college fraternities still haze their pledges with dangerous activities, even though there have been recent deaths? Remember the practice of huffing paint or other aerosols, even cleaning products? That one is dangerous and deadly. One that was around when I was a kid was swigging a whole bottle of Vicks 44 cough medicine. Teenagers did it because it contained codeine and got a good high off of it. They would get hooked on it too. The more modern and dangerous cinnamon challenge was all over youtube, despite the risk of getting inhalation pneumonia and suffocating on your own lung's fluids. But this new one, munching on laundry pods, has to take the cake. They might as well swig a gallon of antifreeze and be done with it. Idiots. :roll:
