WASHINGTON — The Marine Corps' top leaders have warned junior troops to stop eating Tide Pods after a number of Marines have been hospitalized due to poisoning, sources confirmed today.
"I don't care what you guys do. Hell, you can even go back to drunken driving. Just stop eating laundry detergent, for Christ's sake," said Gen. Robert Neller, the Marine Commandant.
Top officials have expressed concern in recent days over a number of incidents involving enlisted troops taking part in the "Tide Pod Challenge," a viral internet campaign that challenges people to put laundry detergent in their mouth in order to raise awareness for Charles Darwin.
