You need all those things to keep the bad guys at bay when you go into a convenience store. Or you need them to get some assistance from a clerk. . .

I literally laughed aloud. Sometimes things are funny because they're true.

Propagating urban myths, are we?

"Urban myth", nothing - when I was in the first grade I had a classmate who got taken out by poisoned Hallowe'en candy. Granted, it was never established whether the candy in question was tainted at the factory or tampered with post-sale, but it was poisoned Hallowe'en candy all the same.

(By "taken out" I mean "made very sick". He got better eventually.)

outright hilarious!!

Now that's my kind of humor! For anyone of the opposite opinion, I suggest reading some old Charles Addams cartoons (speaking of Halloween).

That's perfect. I love your blog!

If I recall correctly, the vast majority of adulterated halloween candy encountered was actually tampered with by the child's parents. Not sure where I read that, but I'd guess that's the case...

Way too true.

Almost as bad, the new 'Holiday Blow Out' aisle central to most walgreens - you go from a wall of Halloween to a wall of Thanksgiving to a wall of Christmas. In October!
