City Asks Residents Not to Eat Pod Sculpture

HAGERSTOWN, MD - Amid the "Tide Pod" craze, the Hagerstown City Council has encountered an unusual problem - Tide Pod addicts attempting to eat the granite sculpture "Pod" in City Park, after a prankster keeps dying the sculpture orange and blue.

"Apparently someone thought it it would be funny to make the Pod look like a Tide Pod" said one of the city council members, "they're using water-soluble dye so it washes off without damaging the Pod, but after we clean it off someone sneaks back in that night and colors it all over again."

So far Hagerstown police have caught three people attempting to "take a bite" of the sculpture before the coloring is removed. The city warns that attempting to take a bite of the Pod could result in severe dental damage.

If you have any tips on who keeps changing the colors of Pod, please contact the City Park staff.

No sculptures changed colors while writing this article. The Hagerstown report is satire.
