Tide Pods are Here

Thanks to Meijer for the free Tide Pod samples! We had an opportunity to try them out this weekend following a particularly muddy bike ride along the Maumee in Fort Wayne. Those who often make use of the River Greenway may be interested in the effectiveness of the new Tide Pods. Check out the photos below.

Here's the nifty trial package with specific instructions not to resell it.


















Here a shot of the pod in its dissolvable wrapping. I'm not really sure why Tide felt it necessary to have three different colored detergents in one pillowy package, but we'll assume it enhances the cleaning power.


















Next up, Julie's sweatshirt following her bike ride.
























And wa-la! The Tide Pod seemed to work really well. It was certainly easy to use. No messy pouring or spilling powder granules all over the place. The downside was smell. It wasn't bad, but not anything exciting either. More chemical plant than Mountain Spring. Look for Tide Pods coming soon at your local Meijer store.
