      You mean another fad that was blown out of proportion by one generation trying to prove the idiocy of another?

        I wouldn’t call idiocy leading to ER admissions as ‘blown out of proportions’. That aside, I still don’t understand what you prove by consuming something as distasteful as tide pods.

          I would call it blown out of proportion when it was treated like an epidemic when it was little more than a few people who ever did it. Most just joked about it, and taunted the old fogeys who got bent out of shape about it.

      Yeah this sounds like the sort of hokey home cure idea my 60 year old dad would do.
