Sources for improvement

I think this article would be improved or solidified by adding information about actually eating the pods. As in, the whole phenomenon of children (and adults) eating Tide PODS & the health risks associated with eating them.

Here's a couple sources discussing that:

🇮🇴 Also would use the couple sources already included right now in that section. Soulbust (talk) 08:58, 3 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Expansion

I understand what WidowXTracer2Cute means when he says it's not that good of a subject matter for its own article, but I don't think that deletion is the right course of action. I think we should expand the article to cover more than just the consumption of Tide Pods. I think it should encompass all memes relating to consuming hazardous materials. Some examples include drinking bleach (usually Clorox brand) and eating silica gel. Thank you for a minute of your time. DatGuyonYouTube (talk) 16:35, 18 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Oh brave new world...

Idea for this page

My idea for this page is that we go through with the deletion however we add more to Here(Or merge it). Then this page would be redirected to the page i just linked. Sound good? Wkc19 :) (talk) 19:21, 19 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Renamed the page

I renamed the page to Tide Pod Challenge from "Eating tide pods". Reasons are in edit summary. Hope I didn't mess up. Niqabu (talk) 20:33, 19 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 21 January 2018

Tide Pod challenge → Consumption of Tide Pods – The actual Tide Pod challenge only occupies a small section of the article. The majority of the article centers around the meme joke that Tide pods look edible and around the health risks surrounding their consumption. It has been brought up that Tide Pod challenge will be the thing people will search for on Google, but Google searches do account for redirect pages and this should still come up. pluma♫ ♯ 19:47, 21 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support – the article focuses on the consumption of Tide Pods, not just the millennial challenge Tod Pod challenge. CookieMonster755✉ 20:35, 21 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support move to "Consumption of Tide Pods" (or "Eating Tide Pods"). Support either. I agree with nom, only a small portion of the article talks about the "challenge". I'd totally be down for a page move. (Also, in addition, the redirect "Eating Tide Pods" already exists, but "Consumption of" might be better, being a noun and not a verb).

  • Support Even though most readers will search Tide Pod challenge, the challenge is sure to die out, and the majority of the article deals with the general idea that even though Tide Pods are not edible, they are easily mistaken for candy and therefore susceptible for accidental consumption.

  • Support the move. As others said, the article is broader than the 'Tide Pod Challenge.' Granzymes (talk) 01:42, 22 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support The article's content has a broader focus, and the title should reflect that. !dave 12:36, 22 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support. The "challenge" is a clear subtopic of the broader meme. James (talk/contribs) 16:58, 22 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
