There is a scientific reason Tide Pods look like they should taste good, and that’s because they’re glossy, have an outer shell containing something that looks hydrating, have a sweet, floral aroma, and are brightly colored; In other words, they look like food we already do eat that tastes good.
That whole Tide Pod debacle of 2018 sparked a universe of memes, but, more importantly, it gave rise to the ForbiddenSnacks subreddit. The sub essentially compiles pictures of stuff that looks like food, but isn’t. Anyway it’s awesome. See for yourself:
