    Friendly reminder that one of the only cases of a child dying from poisoned Halloween candy was when Ronald O'Bryan laced HIS OWN SON'S Pixie Stix with cyanide so he could cash in on his life insurance.

    In 1987, my dad took me trick-or-treating and had the phenomenal bad luck of sneaking a candy out of my hand as I was about to pop it in my mouth. It was the only candy he ate that night. He later went to the hospital due to excessive bleeding on the toilet and discovered he had eaten glass. The candy in question was a caramel. As an adult, I question if the glass was due to manufacturer error vs maliciousness of some person living in Fullerton, CA.

    Yes. Because I had a friend of mine from a different town share on Facebook that she found ( in a brown bag, done up as a Halloween treat bag ) a whole OTHER bag closed together with a used dispensary sticker. On the inside was a pill. The bag was closed up with the sticker, looked like the kind of parchment you get from cheap dispensary's. You saw the wax (shatter, etc) residue on the parchment, but it looked used.
    Either way, it's fucked up. A bag, in a bag, had a pill- in kids candy.
