    From what I understand laundry detergent (especially Tide) is used as a black market currency because the value is relatively stable and everyone needs it eventually.

      I read a few years ago that was because Tide was fairly high end as far as laundry detergents go.

      That was pre-Tide pods too, so those must be like Louis Vuitton type shit these days.

        Probably. I did say, “From what I understand,” rather than stating it as a fact. Could very well have been thoroughly debunked but I can’t be arsed to look up detergent shoplifting tends and causes.
