It's worse than tide pods somehow.

Tide pods was a challenge, a incredibly stupid and lethal one but one that was not presented as anything else than the stupidest dare ever.

This is apparently presented as a health tip (complete with the usual "detox" pseudoscience bullshit). Fuck these assholes.

The idea that drinking bleach has health benefits has been around for a while. There are facebook and youtube "influencers" that peddle this shit in the usual "big pharma doesn't want you to know this" format.

Internet Comment Etiquette made video making fun of them.

I don't know this Internet Comment Etiquette dude is, but I am a long time follower of Todd Clorox
