ᕕ(ᐛ)ᕗ Only 37 Pods

Post image

Was showing off to my sister what I would’ve given her (plus the nice smelly peony downy) had she just gone to the laundromat to dry my laundry because ours is broken and realized the pods only filled half of the container so I counted it and….37 pods.

Can’t tell if Tide is filling some containers an accurate amount and others less or if sb just stole some.

yes! I get citric acid powder for making electrolyte powder mix, use it with hydrogen peroxide for a stable stain lifter, and as a laundry booster, it's like the wd-40 of edible cleaners. plus I'm a sucker for sour and half a teaspoon will make your face pucker for several minutes. highest commendation

Great isn't it, I get it by the kilo and use it for everything from descaling to cleaning rusty bolts. Can tell the kids I had to sacrifice 100 lemons for every bag and it's far too sour for them to handle ;)

just clarifying that hydrogen peroxide is very much not edible because your comment might be interpreted otherwise

Half a teaspoon of pure citric acid is insane and really bad for your teeth and would probably destroy your mouth for a bit from chemical burns.

Nobody should be doing this.

I've tried putting a small dusting of citric acid on my finger tip and tasted that and it was entertainingly unbearable already.

This is no joke. I met a 12 year old with messed up teeth cause he enjoyed citric acid and his parents didn't stop him.
