Back in grade school there was a big razor blade apple scare one year. Apparently a kid in another school actually bit into an apple with a razor blade in it. There was a letter that we had to bring home from school to our parents to warn them about it. Years later I was talking with a friend about stupid things we did as a kid. He told me how he took a bite out of an apple and then stuck a razor blade into it and showed it to his parents as a joke. They freaked out and called the police. It was funny to find out that such a famous story at my school started as just a joke a kid was playing on his parents.
Would x-rayed candy be radioactive? *gets Geiger meter*
…I know someone whose last name is Geiger.
He’s clearly playing NINJA party games! He’s at a ninja party!
acully that whole poison candy thing is a myth the kid that Did eat poisoned candy got it from an evil relative
Reminds me of one Halloween… We bought some caramel apples, one of my favorites, and when I bit into one, I bit into a nice chunk of shrapnel with traces of mercury. I was sick for weeks. And ever since, I’ve been terrified of anything apple related from stores.
lol, this reminds me of an old halloween simpsons episode where chief wiggum was checking the kids candy
“safe… safe… razor blade… syringe… OHH WHITE CHOCOLATE! O.O”
Scipo-yeah, i thought of that too. I personally think that the razor blades add a nice mettalic after taste to the apples, and generally improve the quality of any food they are added to.
Poisoned Candies aren’t really a myth- anything can be tampered with if a person is foul enough or cruel enough to do it. I still remember some Trick or Treating outings I returned home from, as a kid, and my mom would first go thru my haul and there was always candies she would throw away. But she would show me WHY.
Unwrapped candies, suspicious candies that seemed to have been unwrapped-rewrapped, or ones with suspicious holes in them.
I am not saying that I condone acting full blown paranoid and going thru Secret Service alike security acts to deem the candy safe, but as a parent, you need to error on the side of caution for things like this.
I dont care what you say a tough chip going down the wrong way is as bad or worse than any razorblade 0.o
