When the biggest worry in the world was remembering your lunchbox and doing your best not to shit your pants.

Tide pods
Last but certainly not least, I bring us to the latest and greatest trend of today’s youth. Eating tide pods. These convenient laundry detergent pods have become a delectable treat. Yes, people are eating them. And yes, there are severe consequences. Who knows what’s next?
