Several newspapers are trying to figure out "why teens and internet celebs risk their lives by eating them (Tide Pods)".
It seems that many hours and much manpower has been spent trying to get to the bottom of this.
We here at Weird News agree that someone must get to the bottom of this.
After spending the appropriate amount of time and energy on this (30 seconds and none) we have THE answer.
Why are people taking the Tide Pod challenge?
Some people are morons who will do anything for attention.
That is all.
Carry on.
