    I'm just a random "old lady" as far as my kids are concerned, but I actually talked about this with my 20-year-old and his girlfriend the other day. They explained that it's mostly a joke, with a few people doing it for kicks and to get noticed on social media. However, they also likened it to prior generations who chewed on pencil erasers and such, and then pointed out how many delicious-looking non-edible things there are nowadays. Like, pencil grips, apparently. 

    Mmm... delicious, right?

    I think it would eat away at the internal organs to say the least.

    Someone asked if eating Tide Pods eliminated skid marks on your underwear.

    Makes you wonder, doesn't it?  Are these children so starved for attention that they would ingest something that could kill them?

    Every now and then Nature has to clean out the gene pool.  This time she's using soap.

    They'll have to do better than eating Tide Pods to win a Darwin Award.  Some of those are tough acts to follow.

    I think it all started with a satire article.
