At least three people were hospitalized after eating laundry pods given out as election freebies by Kuomintang (KMT) presidential nominee Hou Yu-ih’s (侯友宜) Changhua campaign office.

    To be fair, the way those are packaged they look just like half the stuff in the candy aisle at the Asian supermarket

      That, and people often give out candy on election campaigns. This is the first time I heard about giving out cleaning agents. Candy, flyers, pens or some other usables, but laundry pods? Maybe it’s a culture thing, and in Taiwan it’s more common, but I’m not surprised someone would be confused in that context, at least in Europe.
