There are a few words, phrases, and things that seem to set off Twitter’s ‘Terms of Service,’ (TOS) whether that’s getting suspended, locked, or contacted over concerns about ‘self-harm’.
And one of those ‘things’ is Tide because of all the morons who were eating Tide Pods. If you joke about someone eating a Tide Pod you will at least be locked if not suspended and apparently if you make a joke about drinking the boxed Tide wine you get a message about hurting yourself.
Buzzfeed’s Ryan Broderick learned this the hard way:
It’s silly but not surprising.
Twitter, amirite?
This is the email he received from Support:

And now that outlets are starting to cover his ‘run-in’ with Twitter TOS he’s talking about moving to a cabin in the woods.
We hardly blame him.
“Laundry wine” is the perfect name for this abomination

It looks like boxed wine.
That being said, we still don’t really want to drink any of it.
