But have they gotten tooth decay?
Halloween candy is a scourge on the public health, and must be banned, BANNED, BANNED!!!
I remember when the tainted candy scare first surfaced in the late 60’s: a local child died after eating treats laced with heroin. Who would do such a despicable thing? Turned out nobody did, that’s who. The kid got into his dope dealer uncle’s stash and they made up a cover story which held together for a day or two.
Silver lining: after I pick out all the razor blades from the candy, no need to buy shaving accessories for the rest of the year.
