Highlight:

Does anybody know what these 4 mysterious objects found in my dishwasher are? [View all] CTyankee Saturday OP

Melted pods? SheltieLover Saturday #1

Do these pods bloom when they melt? I'm confused... CTyankee Saturday #5

No idea. I don't use them. SheltieLover Saturday #6

How large are they? herding cats Saturday #12

They're big. Maybe 3+ inches. CTyankee Saturday #16

3" is way too big to be a dishwasher pod. herding cats Saturday #19

the pod is small. 3# inches is the size of what I unload from my dishwasher! And it's always just ONE! CTyankee Saturday #20

I think that sounds like a brilliant plan! herding cats Saturday #21

Maybe try a non pod dishwasher detergent? SheltieLover Yesterday #29

I guess I could try one. However, the pods are convenient and small which are good in a small apt. CTyankee 19 hrs ago #35

Pls let us know? SheltieLover 19 hrs ago #36

Take-out condiment containers? lpbk2713 Saturday #2

No. We don't usually eat take-out meals and these occur every single time we run the dishwasher. CTyankee Saturday #9

Trump's condoms? Ocelot II Saturday #3

those are too big rampartd Saturday #7

Yeah, boiii!!! JoseBalow Saturday #23

dishwasher rack roller wheels bucolic_frolic Saturday #4

Melted pudding cups The Blue Flower Saturday #8

We wouldn't put those in the dishwasher. CTyankee Saturday #10

Did you put any plastic bottles in the dishwasher? LuckyCharms Saturday #11

I don't think so but I will check that out. Thanks for the suggestion! CTyankee Saturday #13

The bottoms of plastic bottles would melt into that shape. Good luck! LuckyCharms Saturday #14

Did you maybe put some stretchy covers in the dishwasher which shrank a lot? herding cats Saturday #15

... 2naSalit Saturday #17

You know, it feels like that sometimes. I just open the dishwasher to unload it and there one is, on the top shelf of CTyankee Saturday #18

The theory of socks missing from the washing machine belies a pathway bobalew 13 hrs ago #39

Maybe one time write down everything you put in the dish washer... 3catwoman3 Saturday #22

They remind me of pudding cups. Do you have any plastic containers that size? HeartsCanHope Yesterday #24

they look like protective covers that might be on the bases of something Kali Yesterday #25

Have you run the dishwasher with nothing in it? johnp3907 Yesterday #26

Looks like four feet that were attached to the bottom of a cutting board, jgo Yesterday #27

What kind of dishwasher is it. Brand and model. Approximate age too please. bottomofthehill Yesterday #28

Frigidaire. Probably new but I don't know for sure. And only one of these things appear at a time. CTyankee Yesterday #32

Has to be the pod then SheltieLover 19 hrs ago #38

Beats me, but I love your beautiful counter top. Emile Yesterday #30

Thanks but I am in an apartment in a retirement facility run by Masonicare. So the counter top is probably not genuine CTyankee Yesterday #31

Alien species are reproducing every time you run the dishwasher. milestogo Yesterday #33

Excellent guess! CTyankee Yesterday #34
