      This one in particular... not the first time I've seen her doing shit like this. And I'm pretty sure I don't even live wherever she is!

      Edit: oh I get it now, she has the brain of a child https://twitter.com/JaclynLeeTV/status/1264957269269254150?s=19

        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."

    Love to give away my edibles for free for absolutely no benefit with the risk of it getting traced back to me and getting into trouble :big-cool:

    fun fact: the only times kids have been poisoned by Halloween candy, it's been their own parents trying to kill them and pretend some random person did it. There is no evidence anyone has every randomly distributed poison, drugs, etc. ever.

    Check your kid's candy. Word has it that some people are giving out gold watches and diamond rings disguised as butterfingers.

    boomers will never get tired of fear mongering over trick-or-treating. They live for this shit

    the only reason these news stories keep happening is to give parents an excuse to search their kids' candy haul for their favorites

      Lol someone in the replies is saying it's suspicious that these are being openly sold online without companies suing, I guess implying that frito-lay is colluding with big THC to get you children high or whatever.

    Kids, the only way I'm gonna lace candy is if I'm certain your crazy parents are going to eat it.

    They confiscated these snacks that look a lot like the real thing.

    The police robbed somebody of their edibles and made up a bullshit justification.
