Every Halloween, especially in states where weed is legal (I live in California), you'll hear about people giving out their edibles during trick or treating. Seeing how expensive edibles are, no one doing that.

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.

I think things like Halloween is a nice reminder that most people aren’t sick in the head 🤷🏻♀️🤠👻👺🎃 …Or even like if you’re crossing the street at a busy intersection and no one decided to lift their foot off the break and hit you as you walked by….Little things like that give me faith in humanity💖

Expired candy is one thing, and making it bad on purpose is another thing
So has anyone told this lady that wrote the article that she'd actually indirectly caused a bunch of poisonings that hoped to be pinned on non-existent trick-or-treat tampering??
Happy Halloween Matt 🎃

I don't think anyone is really putting drugs or poison in candy, but my brother and I have both got rocks wrapped in bubblegum wrappers. But you see it when you open the wrapper... so it's literally more of a lame prank than it is 'dangerous' or poisonous lol

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.

2:43 Correction Catholicism is part of Christianity as is the Orthodox but typically all the denominations especially the Protestants like to pretend otherwise. Of course not every Christian is Orthodox or Catholic but you see a lot of the denominations perpetuate this division and its palpable in endlessly circulated things like this.

Hi
The truth is Halloween is just how creepy goofy day with certain Origins of Pagan religion Now in our modern time The last 70 to 80 years ago It has just become a money making machine for the creepy and weird nobody should get into it too deeply We all have to be realistic just take things with a grain of salt and the occasional 1961 horror movie on TV it should never go beyond that And maybe the grown-up costume party with pumpkin spice flavored vodka 😂
What happened to the buzzed feed
Believe in God! Pray to God! Don't carry out the nasty festival just like 'Halloween'! The cat eat the mouse & the rat. But sometimes, some cats bite the snake & bring inside the house. It doesn't mean that we shouldn't be friend to the cat. The cat have good than bad to the people. Though it may be black or white. Don't believe to the devils! Don't pray to the devils!
