A few decades ago, some dude took out an insurance policy on his two kids.
Then he spiked some Pixie Stix with cyanide.
He gave it to his kids and some neighbors.
In the end, only one kid actually ate the candy… his youngest.
Ever since then, paranoia about poisoned candy, razor blades in apples, and other evil fills the news.
Even though incidents of such tampering are few and far between.
The candy is quite safe these days.
As kids go around in black witches cloaks and grim reaper robes on unlit streets.
And get run over by cars.
