The Crazy Rants of Samantha BurnsHalloween Candy Scare
This is serious.
I suggest everyone read this article on what could really be in your kids' Halloween candy.
Consider this... a dangerous syringe concealed in a Twinkie or Butterfinger bar. Or, ex-lax given away falsely as chocolates or mints.
Or, what's worse, opening up a Tootsie Roll and taking a bite out of dog or cat feces.
The article suggests taking your candy to the community Halloween CAT scanner to ensure your kids have a safe, enjoyable, and spooktacular Halloween. I suggest reading the article in detail as it provides many useful insights.

Seriously? I could buy about 100 bags of assorted candy for my child at the cost of a CAT scan...
These things come out every year. Now they are just getting worse.

Oh, I RTFA, and I see that the CAT scan is free. But still, that's costing someone money, right?

Things don't seem to change much. Back in the early '60s, people were tampering with food. Back then, it wasn't just packaged candy handed out, but homemade cookies, etc. One old hag was reportedly sticking razer blades in apples. All sorts of things were found in our treats that my mother used to sort out the candy we collected and toss out anything that wasn't completely sealed and untampered with looking. Then she let us have what looked okay, but kept the Mary Janes for herself.

Heh...Sam, I'm glad to see that you're not taken in by the Urban Legends and scare-mongers...when I read your post, I got worried, but after reading the article, I'm giggling, too.
And Von: you gotta read a little bit betweeen the lines, brutha.

I used to work in medical imaging, sorry folks but that's a doctored ultrasound not a CAT scan.

My children aren't allowed to eat their Halloween candy. (Unless it's something I don't like.)
