I mostly use my Biology minor to explain the evolutionary reasons why I kinda want to eat my laundry detergent pods

please elaborate dear friend.

They are small brightly colored soft orbs. In a savannah environment (where much of human evolution occurred) all those stimuli say “fruit, this has a lot of calories and is valuable to you.” Which is why most candy is made to look colorful and generally fruitlike, our brains are evolved to like that and take it to mean “tastes good! Very sweet!” Hence I sometimes want to eat my Tide pods (but never actually do)
