Tide, is that you? Procter & Gamble, the makers of the popular laundry detergent, unveiled a new eco-friendly box for the cleaning product on Friday, November 9, and hordes of social media users are comparing the updated design to boxed wine.
Sometimes food just misses the mark. Sure, it’s necessary to live, but not all foods are created equal. In fact, some man-made creations are just downright bizarre or repulsive, which is why Us Weekly has compiled a list of the foods we wish never existed. Scroll down and take a gander at your own risk!
The new cardboard container features a twist-to-open spigot and is designed to reduce the environmental impact detergent packaging can have on the planet while also making online deliveries easier. In fact, according to CNN, the new vessel, which is known as the Tide Eco-Box, uses 60 percent less plastic than shipping a bottle of detergent and will cost less overall to ship because it weighs less and takes up a smaller space in a delivery truck.
Still, the similarities to boxed wine are hard to ignore, especially since Tide has had issues with people ingesting its laundry pods in the past. “We all know laundry detergent is for cleaning clothes.

Even though the Tide Eco-Box hasn’t formally joined the detergent brand’s lineup just yet – it’s expected to be available on Amazon, Walmart’s website and other P&G retail partners’ sites starting in January – that hasn’t stopped social media users from sharing tons of clever tweets about the new container.
School is back in session! When we last left Nate Berkus, interior designer and star of Nate and Jeremiah by Design on TLC, and actress Melissa Fumero of Brooklyn Nine-Nine, the pair was brainstorming ways to inject some personality and practicality into Fumero’s Los Angeles home. Now, in the second episode of the Design Schooled […]
As one person tweeted, “You guys … you guys know people ate the pods, right?” Check out some of the funniest reactions below:
Tide now comes in a container that looks like a box of wine. So now we have to worry about 45-year-old white women eating Tide, too???
Good on @tide for making an eco-friendly box. Also.. it’s called survival of the fittest. If you’re dumb enough to consume this.. then.. 🤷🏻♀️
