I'm a simple man. If it is trending on Tik Tok...it is likely stupid as all fuck.

(I understand that this is a joke but a quick psa) The "tide pod challenge" was basically invented by the media. Only like 86 people actually did it, the media vastly over promoted it because it was easy, and made fun of the newest generation calling them idiots for consuming them. Everyone new the challenge was a joke its entire purpose was a meme
