To be fair, you shouldn't eat the logo either.

Microsoft's Edge browser is freshening things up with a new look, and it's a swirling blue-and-green design that to many calls to mind another thing that's gone out of style: Tide pods.

Discovered by The Verge, Tom Warren writes that the "Edge icon was revealed in an elaborate Easter Egg hunt where Microsoft employees posted cryptic clues to a series of puzzles and images."

Which, sure, sounds fun!

What was also fun was how quickly people with opinions jumped from every corner of the internet to weigh in on elements of the design. Namely, as mentioned above, that the logo looks like a Tide pod.

Others joked that Edge, which is a Chromium-based browser, is really just Chrome in disguise.

Of course, rather than seeing Chrome underneath, at least one keen observer pointed out the logo's surface resemblance to Firefox's logo.

But hey, you know what they say, a Tide pod's beauty is in the eye of the eater.
