why doesn’t a liquid laundry/dish detergent pod break down from the detergent inside?

Why doesn’t the detergent inside cause the package to break down ? I find as soon as water touches it it begins to melt away, why wouldn’t the detergent cause this?

In general, pourable detergent is mixed with a bit of water to make it easier to pour and also to increase it’s volume so they can sell it for more money. Tide Pods are way way way WAY more concentrated than the bottle detergent, and therefore have extremely little water. If you ever cut open a tide pod, you’d notice the consistency is almost as thick as set jello.
