[{'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on April 17, 2019', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-2 review-rating', 'review_body': 'We purchased the 81 count of pods in February (left side in photo) and just received our new order (right side) today. Notice how much smaller the new container is. It also weighs less. At first I thought - oh it weighs less because the container is smaller. But out of curiousity I thought I would compared the two. And I am disappointed to learn that we are now getting less for the same price. And that is how inequity happens - getting less and less and ultimately paying more for it.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on August 7, 2018', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "I've loved these since I started using them years ago. So much simpler to use, less mess, and less chance of wasting product than from a pour-bottle. I have only ever needed 1 pod per load, even large loads, and never had an issue with items not being clean (but I have a standard washing machine, not one that has a super-massive basin). Additionally, I have never had them stain clothing or not dissolve properly. I toss them in before the machine is loaded with clothing or water. A bit pricier than a bottle of detergent, but they're even more worth it when you can get them on a deal!"}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on June 21, 2017', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'This is my first time using Tide pods. They work for me. I like being able to grab a pod toss it in with no mess and no cleanup. Perfect for my 11 year old son as he learns to do laundry. it smells great. this container is large but narrow and well made so it fits in a corner very well. It for some reason the pods get stuck, toss a little cornstarch in the container and give it a shake. That will loosen them up. I always put these in as soon as I start the water to give them time to dissolve. I use two if I have a really large load. I have not had any issues with the pods not dissolving all the way or staining my clothes. I have this on subscribe and save so Its safe to say I will be using these for the long term!'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on February 23, 2018', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-4 review-rating', 'review_body': 'For almost 20 years my wife and I bough the other guys because Tide, well, Tide is frickin expensive. But when I sat down and did the math on what we were spedning on detergent, how much we had to use to get our stuff clean, and the difference in cleanliness and smell, it turns out we were actually spending more on the other stuff. The pods make it impossible to over use, and because it is Tide the recomended usage is all that is needed. No extras because you know your brand just may not make it this load. All told, we buy Tide less often, and are much happier with the result. I usually say just buy it when I like something, and I would like to here, but Tide is frickin expensive. If you are frugal with the other brands, you can spend much less on doing laundry. Me, I buy it.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on September 1, 2021', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'I use depending on the size of the load. 1 to 3 pods and the was is amazing. Sometimes I ad color safe bleach with a pod. Sometimes a cup of ammonia the plain kind with a pod or 2 , seriously gets gunk out of clothes and if they stink takes it out.. my son plays football.i wash his uniforms in ammonia and 2 tide pods and it comes out white and nice. Less fuss on my part. I have been on auto ship for 7 months now snd have NEVER gotten a bad batch.or any broken.\nOne time I stuck my wet hand in the container to do laundry. I learned my lesson on that one. It made 6 stuck together. But in all honesty it was my fault. Legit this stuff is the best.

Was I wrong.... The PODS that keep the detergent in do not dissolve and when it comes time to get my laundry folded I find the PODS half dissolved sticking to my clothing. At first I thought I was sticking to much laundry in my front loader, so I put half a load in... Still the same problem. I tried hot and cold water and even throw them in the drum like instructions state. I will never ever ever again buy these PODS. Horrible idea on Tides end who ever designed these.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on December 22, 2020', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "I love these, they clean really well and are decently priced. I also really love the smell. People have complained that they stain or don't dissolve, but I've only ever had that happen about 3 times. If you let the washer fill and the pod break (top loading machines) or just use luke warm water, they dissolve just fine. The Gain Flings are the ones I always have trouble getting to dissolve. I only use 1 pod per load, unless its a heavy load. So it saves measuring out liquid or wasting detergent. I've washed those machine washable shoes with one of these and it got them very clean. Highly recommend for the amount of pods you get and the price point. I've ordered them twice, and unlike another reviewer, have not noticed any noticable size difference or quality in getting clothes clean."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on March 18, 2018', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-1 review-rating', 'review_body': 'I used to love these. They used to work. I actually had them on my subscribe & save. But recently, the pods were no longer dissolving completely. Some parts of the outer covering turn into gummy residue that stuck on my clothes and survive the drying as well. One time I went out not knowing my pants had this gummy thing stuck to the buttock pocket; it was embarrassing. I did my best to hide it. Good thing it was only to attend a livestream class at work and there were only the two of us attendees. They can be removed by soaking in a tub then vigorously handwashing, but what is the point of having an expensive HE washer if I will have to do this time-consuming activit of hunting down which clothes have stuck-on gummy Tide on them and then washing them off? I am busy already as it is with my full-time job as an RN and with my new business of homemade lotions! Thing is, I still have at least 6 of these containers unopened. I want to return but can I if they have been sitting on my pantry shelves for some time now?'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on April 2, 2019', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "Costs the same as at the store, with the convenience of being delivered to my door. These new caps are horrible though (and the old ones weren't great); I end up dumping these into another container.\n\nTide, please make a regular cap for those of us without young children, and whose teenagers can refrain from eating Tide Pods (the new, even worse cap came out after that became a thing). Talk about appealing to the lowest common denominator.\n\nI think this packaging would be impossible for an elderly arthritic person to open.\n\nI'm not a fake profile, nor have I been compensated for any reviews...in fact, the reason I take the time to review purchases when I can is due to the fact that I find other honest reviews helpful and am tired of all the fake reviews that have polluted this site. If you find my review helpful, please take the time to rate it as such, not because I'll get anything out of it but so that others can see true reviews. Thanks and Happy Shopping!"}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on April 5, 2021', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'These tide pods are very easy. I use them in my college dorm and the portability of the pods is certainly a plus over traditional liquid detergent.\nThey do not dissolve in cold water; you must use either warm or hot water and place the pods in the barrel, not the detergent drawer.\nThe scent is very fresh but not overpowering. Spring meadow is truly a great name to describe it. I had no streaks on my clothing after using these pods and am very happy.'}]
