Monkey Brain Forbidden Fruits (Edible Tide Pods)

Okay, let me start this post off by saying EATING LAUNDRY DETERGENT IS TOTALLY, COMPLETELY AND ABSOLUTELY STUPID.

January was supposed to be my month off.  It was the month I was going to spend updating the website, getting my recipes for the year in order, and taking a little time off for me.

But noooo…humanity had to step in and decide this was the month that eating laundry detergent was going to get idiotically stupid.

You may've noticed some talk around the internet about young people eating packets of laundry detergent -specifically Tide Pods. It's a social media stunt, and it's dangerous. If you think those things are pretty enough to eat, you can make a treat that's just as pretty but also safe and edible, with the tropical tastes of mangos and coconut. Hellen Die (quoted above) figured out how to do it with a recipe that's part science lesson, since the ingredients include agar-agar and edible film.
