Is Poisoned Halloween Candy a Myth? Every year around Halloween, we hear the same concern: you gotta check the candy for poison because strangers put laxatives in Tootsie Rolls, Razor Blades in Apples and heroine in Snickers. But is this trick or treat dilemma an actual reality or just a clever way for your parents to steal your candy? The truth is out there (and by out there we mean in the episode that you should definitely watch).

I was a kid in Houston when the life insurance scam poisoning mentioned in this video happened. Part of the reason this case was solved was that all kids in the Houston area were requested to turn in their Pixie Stix to their local school for chemical analysis. All candy turned in tested negative except for the candy of a schoolmate of the victim. BTW, buying a life insurance policy on your kid is pretty shady and should put parents on a watch list.

@rebeccamiller475 5 лет назад

I don't think it's shady to have a life insurance policy on your children. It cost a lot to bury someone. A child of a friend of mine died in a car wreck and we all pitched in so she wouldn't have any financial burden. Life insurance policies are necessary if you're not rich.

@Bacopa68 5 лет назад

@Bacopa68 6 лет назад

He was hoping to kill more than just one kid. I was a kid in Houston when this happened, and most kids hated Pixie Stix which was basically citric acid in a tube with just enough flavoring and sugar to keep you from spitting it out. Eating half a Pixie Stix in one go was something of a challenge.

that's mostly because of child abduction but parents would probably claim its a poison risk to children. the things child abductors actually have done is pretty unfathomably sick even for adults to talk about, hard to draw the line between protecting your kids and giving them nightmares.

Stories of these urban myths made it to TV around Halloween as I grew up. And while there might have been public service announcements to check candy, Mom and Dad checked assiduously anyway. Dad was given the task, and he dutifully sorted through. He would then grab a tasty piece or 2 saying, "Tax!" This turned it into a life lesson, and nobody could challenge him on it, although there were some scowls about it. One of the best public relations gestures was at the hospitals: they offered to X-ray children's bags of candy on Halloween to check for nasties like pins and razors.

@jordang7479 6 лет назад

I remember in a high school science class we got to talking about Halloween and one girl said she used to like it until she found out its origins. I, being a die hard Halloween fan and having known about the pagen origins of Halloween since i was at least 5, was completely confused by her statement and assumed she was talking about some other darker Halloween origins than I was familiar with and wanted to hear more about it. She then told me what I already knew and I was even more confused until like a day later when I finally caught her drift.

What about Christmas? Pretty much every tradition surrounding Christmas is pagan, the date, the trees (which the bible says not to have because god hates people who do the whole tree thing, and it does say hate, yes, god hates according to the bible), gifts, super awesome food, and pretty much everything else about it is pagan.

The candy I didn't like. 2 years in a row my brother in law stole all my holiday candy. So I got revenge. I switched my the black jelly beans for sugar covered dog food, laxatives in chocolate wrappers, made my own candy that looked like reesees but switched the peanut butter for cat food, among other things. My brother in law never touched my candy again.

The last time I went trick or treating at age 12, there was this really creepy guy who was being obviously fake-nice. He tried to hide the candy he gave me, but I saw a big orange wrapper. When i got home, i found a big orange wrapper, a tootsie pop. And the wrapper was loose, and I pulled it apart to find a pin-hole drilled in the side of the candy! I was so afraid that I would be blamed that i took a photo and then threw it away. Then again, it could have been my dad doing it. Yeah, my parents were like that.

Trick or Treat is telling kids I know for the rest of the year I have told you not to take candy from strangersBut,on Halloween youcan just disregard this.

@ginnyjollykidd 5 лет назад

We grew up with strict rules about this. Only once around the block. Only go to houses with the light on. Never eat any candy before you get home and a parent checks it first. Most trick or treaters I've seen were accompanied by parents who hung back while the kids went to the door.

@Sammygirl-lh2cy 2 года назад

When I was a kid my brother got a box of nerds that was full of mouse droppings in his halloween candy. We called the police but the officer said even if my brother knew who gave it to him we couldn't prove the person actually put the droppings in the box and it could of easily happened at the factory (why we didn't try to sue Nestle Candy Shop I have no idea we could of got quite a settlement). The box was open when my stepdad saw it and picked it up to examine it, that night it had been raining and my brothers pillowcase got wet so the cardboard of the nerds box was wet and had opened (or it had already been open by the person who gave it to him who knows). My stepdad to this day claims some sicko gave it to my brother me on the other hand I have a little more faith in humanity than he does and choose to believe it was a manufacturing problem.

@hedgehog3180 4 года назад

It seems to be a general trend that while parents tend to be scared of strangers harming their kids it's way more likely that it's someone they know or a family member. With just about everything really this seems to be the case, the most likely person to poison a kid with candy is their family, the most likely person to abuse a kid is their family etc. Probably says something about how we as a society in general have a deeply ingrained xenophobia and how that is often used to cover up actual issues closer to home.

Family members are the lion's portion of sexual (and other) abuse of children, too. I know four different girls who were "too pretty" as children. Two were sexually abused by uncles while quite young, one by her father, and one by strangers her mother invited to, in exchange for heroin. The nicest girls, they were, and three are still friends of mine, who never did anyone harm, but were stalked and preyed upon by loved ones or parental associates. The traumas stayed with them and most likely will unto death. All because they were pretty. Imagine physical beauty as a curse.

Kids who want to go trick or treating here have a hard time, it's just not a thing we do here, so no one opens the door and if they do, they're likely gonna get some sort of a fruit that the person has just lying around... because of this reason we didn't have any panic about poisoned candy, it just isn't a tradition here and the few kids who have been inspired by american movies to go trick or treating won't be in any danger cuz no one would prepare for it, like in a period of 20 years, we got one or two parties of kids coming to us and we rejected them cuz we don't really have any candy in our home... also, one time we had a roll of toilet paper menacingly hanged on the door handle, no property damage or littering, just a roll of toilet paper...
