It was only a matter of time: The Tide Pod doughnut is born

Who says you can't eat Tide Pods?

Okay, well, the answer is everyone, including the makers of Tide Pods (and Rob Gronkowski). But if you were searching for a way to skirt the rule and still satisfy your meme dreams, Hurts Donuts had you covered on Wednesday.

For one day only, the Springfield, Missouri, doughnut shop offered a Tide Pod doughnut — a pleasant alternative to poisoning yourself with a laundry pod. 

No, they do not look particularly juicy, but the colors are spot-on. Most of all, it just looks like a really good yeast donut.

Overall, it seems that that customers were big fans of the breakfast treat, including local resident Clayton Cheatum, who delivered a delightful review to local NBC affiliate KSN.

“I got the Tide Pod doughnut ... because it’s a popular trend on Facebook and Twitter,” he said. "I was like well, you know, I’m on a diet right now but ... I don’t think Tide Pods got carbs in them, might as well try it.”
