You mean another fad that was blown out of proportion by one generation trying to prove the idiocy of another?

Yes, that is indeed my point.

I wouldn't call idiocy leading to ER admissions as 'blown out of proportions'. That aside, I still don't understand what you prove by consuming something as distasteful as tide pods.

I would call it blown out of proportion when it was treated like an epidemic when it was little more than a few people who ever did it. Most just joked about it, and taunted the old fogeys who got bent out of shape about it.
