Back in the 1980s, Nancy Pelosi was mocked by liberals for her “just say no” to drugs campaign, but now, over 30 years later, the same approach is being taken for warnings against consuming… laundry detergent pods:

I’ve partnered with @Tide to make sure you know, Tide PODs are for doing laundry. Nothing else! https://t.co/Oo7n7ZZpbG

the replies to this tweet are hilarious but also i feel really bad for the people at tide who have been given the job of trying to stop a meme in its tracks https://t.co/MZwKvQnHxg

We are at a point in our world where we need a professional athlete to tell us that we shouldn't eat laundry detergent. https://t.co/OnSEoHN5xA

The good news is that people stupid enough to eat laundry pods are smart enough to listen to and follow the Tide twitter feed. https://t.co/m6qxKvbDAS

Will Tide air a similar commercial during tonight’s Patriots/Titans game? Stay tuned.
