    I remember this exact same style of fear mongering making the rounds on left Twitter recently-ish. Was it seriously her that time as well? Lol

      this "drugs and blades in the candy" fearmongering shit is as old as halloween.

      I believe there's only 1 proven case of a razor in an apple, and that was given by a parent to their own kid.

        The razor blade stuff from back in the day at least kind of made sense in some crazy way. Like it's believable some psycho wants to spend a few bucks to cause chaos and pain. Extremely unlikely, but at least somewhat plausible. Like drugs are expensive, no one is giving them to your child for free.

          Right up there with "if you see a car driving on the highway at night with its headlights off, don't flash your lights at the driver because it's part of a gang initiation and they will come and kill you."
