This blog entry is not about how PODS is an international company (which it is, but that’s not what this is about). I was just thinking about how recently, when trying to find a nice image for a separate blog post how many different images I found that were indeed a “pod but not a storage container.

Exhibit A: pea pods. At least, I think those are peas. Those come up very high in a Google Images search result set for “PODS.” Statistically, I have to think that more people enjoy eating peas than soybeans. Edamame, I’d have thought, would be a more popular search result.

Exhibit B: Apparently, these are a brand of candy named “Pods” created by Mars, Inc only available in Australia. I certainly haven’t ever heard of them, much less had one, but I’m also not at the candy forefront. Despite that, I felt that this was important to show still because they look, to put it plainly, crazy delicious. If anyone has indeed tried these, perhaps any of our Australian readers, please comment below. I might have to check them out.

If you thought you’d make it through this blog without seeing an escape pod, you’ve got another thing coming. If you were convinced you’d see an escape pod, I aim to please.

Exhibit C: an escape capsule from the Wright-Patterson Air Force Base.

Let it be known that escape pods are not necessary when moving cross country with PODS. Moving with PODS is a snap.

Disclaimer: You may want to consider an escape pod if you decide to use a PODS competitor.
