What's with the Tide Pod thing
Hey howdy hey trainwreck, how are you today? I am the Dolores trainwreck Moe
This channel is a safe space for all train wrecks so if we don't give you a puppy and a latte
We give you sarcasm and humor
Unless you've been living under our Rock lately. There's this thing called the tide pod challenge
Originally I saw it as like on Instagram as a gag like people are putting Tide Pods on pizza or on
Sundays, and it was like haha. It's really funny
I guess because you know the commercials talking about little kids eating it. It seemed like a teenager retype thing to think that was funny
Yeah, what I don't know what goes on in their brains? They're all riddled with hormones who keeps track right?
well, then I started seeing that these chuckleheads are actually taking these Tide Pods and putting them in their mouths and
biting on them
Uh-huh, I couldn't make that up. I am NOT making that up okay
These people are actually putting laundry soap in their mouths in their mouths
Fighting on it now the reason this is a problem for on both sides
When it explodes you get the detergent in your mouth this could poison you this could kill you this could be blind you up in
The hospital and then all sorts of bad things okay, now. We as parents we get this we understand
Teenagers so their brains are not fully developed
And I know my two are probably hearing me say this as I speak
And I'm not making this up you two can check it on Google
Where brains are not developed fully until 20 years old they lack the capacity to be able to make good
Decisions and be able to see the consequences of those actions until they are 20 years old
This is why I find it ridiculous that at 18 we asked them to pick what they're gonna do with the rest of their lives
And sink tens if not hundreds of thousands of dollars into student debt
Picking something that they're probably not going to stick with
Biology major yo, thanks mom. Sorry about that $10,000. Oh
Now the other problem with the tide pile thing is the outside
It dissolves it was made to dissolve so even if they don't put it in their mouths and bite down
It's still dissolving upon contact, which is causing problems. It's gonna cause asphyxiation
It's gonna cause swelling. It's gonna cause so many problems
These kids are not getting it, and I think the biggest problem is that they're bored
I don't know if this all started up around like the Christmas vacation
If they were all sitting around trying to figure out what to do, but if your kids are bored
I got a list for you to give to them okay, and trust me. This is a great list you're gonna. Love it
I love it. I love it. My kids would love this list. Let's get on with it
Watch a beauty tutorial good lord knows
YouTube is filled with people doing makeup ah
Just eyes just lips I know my daughter alone watch three hours of this one woman with these big puffy
Lips looks like she got stung by a Blowfish sitting there doing her lips and only doing her lips
She's got a thing in her nose it. I mean don't get me wrong. They're pretty but still it's like wow three hours really
paint your nails again
there's
Tutorials out the ears about your nails on
YouTube check those out here's a revolutionary idea clean out your closet
It's the beginning of the year you your kids probably got a snot ton of clothes for Christmas
Have them go through their closet clean out the old shoes clean out the stuff. They don't wear to clean out the stuff
That's torn or ripped not on purpose. You know the stuff. That's actually worn holes through get get rid of that
Clean out the makeup makeup goes bad makeup goes old
Need to clean that out now would be a perfect time to do that feel like popping out of pod in your mouth
Go clean out your makeup
Take a bath
Not with a tide pod
Make tea again not with the tide pod
Make some wish lists everybody wants stuff
Down that's actually a really good idea if you're working in like law of attraction kind of stuff
Right your wish list down. What do you want me?
I with the Italian not say at Golden Oak at Disneyworld if you haven't seen that I might put a link to that video uh
Ma yeah, this house was built for us
Seriously, there's a room that has a t-rex head coming out of the ceiling tell me that was not made for my son
for real eight million dollars
We're getting there. We just need
Seven million nine hundred ninety nine thousand nine hundred ninety nine dollars, so we're getting there
That's how you gotta look at things, but go ahead and write those wish lists
Watch here's all tutorials and try them out
Hey, mom this would be a great bonding opportunity for you and your female offspring
Sit and do each other's hair. It'd be really great
Revolutionary concept they could clean their rooms. I know right
Baked cookies. Oh my gosh again. This could be a really good parent bonding moment with the kids would be so great
here's another one Pinterest I
Can't tell you how many hours upon hours, I've lost
surfing on Pinterest
No Tide Pods there
Go through your school paperwork have them clean out their backpacks and their desks and see if there's any assignments missing
I'm sure you'll find one or two
Make a craft
Making crafts is like one of the greatest memories of me growing up with my mom, and I love doing with the bunny
It's so much fun. It really is I love it. You should really try it
I mean you want to talk about bonding moment there it is
When all else fails go for a run go for a walk
Do some yoga physical activity keeps your hands busy
You can't put a tight pod in your mouth if your hands are busy. That's what I'm trying to say
revolutionary concept again pick up a book and
Read it
You could have them rearrange the room get a little funky
Going on move the bed to a better Chi so they don't feel like putting up heíd pod in the mouth
And here's a good one create a bucket list because if they put a tied pot in their mouth
They want to make sure that's done because they're probably going to die
That's where that's at now if your kids are still bored we can go on to a completely whole different side of this thing
Take them through the drive-thru and tell the person it's for to go
Have them wear a bicycle helmet all day and say it's for astronaut training
You could follow people around at the store with a candle I saw and spray everything they touch
That would definitely
Give you the opportunity to not put a tide pot in your mouth
Make the tint on the TV screen a little bit green and see how long it takes anyone in the family to notice
You could replace all the family pictures with a favorite celebrity
You could replace one members pictures with a favorite celebrity and see how long it takes mom to notice
One of my favorites is repeating something everyone says as a question so say someone says something to you like
Honey the dishes are done, and you get to say honey the dishes are done
Trust me. It's fun
Go around and write X buried treasure in random spots around your town
And one of my personal favorites ever since we got this flap and bird
While you're speaking in front of a group just Bob your head or like a parakeet
All of these things give you something better to do then sticking a tide pod in your mouth
and
For the moms out there. I hope you're taking notice of your kids
Know that this is a thing that is actually
Happening. This is not just something you see on Facebook. This is not something happening just on TV. This is a real thing and
It's happening and you need to be aware of it
You need to know what your kids are doing you need to be in their lives and involved
I'm a little bit of a helicopter. I will admit that I know what she's doing I know who she's talking to
I'm pretty hip on what my kid is doing at all times
It's kind of easy. I homeschool so but still
You know I know
These things with her and the best thing that this will do if nothing else that make you laugh
Please go have a conversation with your kids
these stupid challenges are killing people okay, and I know that might sound dramatic but
There was a challenge a while ago of lighting yourself on fire like covering yourself and hand sanitizer and lighting it on fire
there was the cinnamon challenge there have been so many stupid challenges and
People are getting seriously hurt
These are kids
Making really stupid choices, and it's gonna affect them for the rest of their lives
And it could affect someone else for the rest of theirs
sit down have a conversation with your kids and
They may not want to listen and that's okay. They're not supposed to want to listen. They're teenagers
but have the conversation with them because it's important okay, I
Love you. That's all I've got for today
I hope you found this fun
