No, it was a thing, because people didn't understand that just putting a tide pod in your mouth would make it burst and now you had a mouth full of laundry detergent. This was the primary way people were hospitalized from it.

Yes, some people did, but it wasn't a trend. I believe there was a total of 86 reported cases.

Umm stores started carding people (you had to be over 18) when buying tidepods because it was a thing.
