There was a big kerfluffle a while back because a toddler got to the brightly coloured packs(they've toned them down since I understand), ate some, and ended up dying. Lots of warning in the grocery stores.

In this case, and I just realized the link didn't make it clear, it's teenagers eating them. It's a new Internet dare, and yesterday I saw a tv snippet where some jackass was making a pizza with detergent pod toppings.

Worse, regular soap is unlikely to do anything if you ingest it.  As I pointed out earlier, the stuff in the detergent pods is nasty enough to kill.
