Introducing: PIEd Pods. Listen. We're concerned about the youths. They're eating laundry detergent pods. Our Pied Pods (filled w/cheese and roni) have that bright, alluring colors that youths crave BUT are 100% edible and 100% not soap. Plus they're delicious. #vinniesbrooklyn pic.twitter.com/ck4eni31VX

The yummy snacks are made with cheese and pepperoni and decorated with the same bright colors as the original product -- but are "100% edible and 100% not soap."
This is a cheesy challenge we can get behind, though we're sure there will be a brand new fad to follow soon enough.
All these crazy people out here eating Tide Pods, have no idea that their walls are filled with cotton candy. I'll keep that quiet. #TidePodChallenge pic.twitter.com/rtkBWrqODm
