    That, and people often give out candy on election campaigns. This is the first time I heard about giving out cleaning agents. Candy, flyers, pens or some other usables, but laundry pods? Maybe it’s a culture thing, and in Taiwan it’s more common, but I’m not surprised someone would be confused in that context, at least in Europe.

      Maybe a skull and crossbones, a toxic symbol, and DO NOT EAT might be effective. ☠️🤮🤢

        The article indicates that package says they are for washing clothes. If you didn’t wait to read that then you probably cannot be helped.
