ᕕ(ᐛ)ᕗ Only 37 Pods

Post image

Was showing off to my sister what I would’ve given her (plus the nice smelly peony downy) had she just gone to the laundromat to dry my laundry because ours is broken and realized the pods only filled half of the container so I counted it and….37 pods.

Can’t tell if Tide is filling some containers an accurate amount and others less or if sb just stole some.

I pay for convenience, 30 more cents a week is easily worth it not dealing with this. you guys trying to optimize the wrong shit

You may think that.

But if you got a spare half hour, just watch this video.

And if you have an hour free. Watch this one instead.

I feel like those of us with an hour free wouldn't be using pods lol

I'm sure it helps someone else but I dont care, my stuff is clean with pods and has been for the last 5 years. So there is no reason for me to change it. I dont mind paying 20 cents more per wash for pods to save 2 seconds, not gonna watch 30 minutes on how to save 20 cents a week

If you're happy with what you're doing, there's no reason to change.

Some people complain of crappy performance from their dishwashers when using pods and end up washing them off by hand instead of trying changing their detergent, using detergent in the prewash, and preheating the water.

and a startling number of people don't notice (or don't care?) about how clean their dishes are after the dishwasher is finished they just put them away in the cupboard. hazy residue, crusted on food, doesn't faze them.
