Teenagers do it because of the Tide Pod Challenge. Teenagers are complete morons, their only difference from kids being the level of hormones. They think it's "funny" and do it for lulz, willfully ignorant of how suicidal it is to swallow detergents.

Kids are likely to confuse Tidepods with candy (and to be fair, they do look like candy). Teenagers know they are not candy but do it anyway cause they're idiots.
