Just saw this on Facebook, not sure of its authenticity.


"Watch your kids candy this year. The new thing is rainbow fentanyl. Looks like sweet tarts.."

 

[Lord-Humungus]

We see these stories every year and almost always it just isn’t true. As a young kid it always amazed me how the Reece’s Peanut Butter Cups all seemed to be tampered with at my house. Part of me thinks these warnings are just issued by parents wanting a cut of their kids candy.
DARE lied to me about the amount of free drugs I would get on the playground. That or I deserve a refund.

Sadly, it is real.

Fentanyl

Fentanyl is a synthetic opioid that is 80-100 times stronger than morphine. Pharmaceutical fentanyl was developed for pain management treatment of cancer patients, applied in a patch on the skin. Because of its powerful opioid properties, Fentanyl is also diverted for abuse. Fentanyl is added to...

That was my mom!

Every snickers & milky way looked "questionable" to her...as she'd pop them in her mouth.

Eventually I told her "I can inspect my own candy thankyouverymuch"!

That's not good. The fake stuff looks better than the real stuff.

Be careful. Chocolate makes you phart.

No Sweet Tarts for the kids in my neighborhood!

Besides, if I remember right, Sweet Tarts and candy corn were the things left when everything else was gone. I like giving them the good stuff!

Halloween is ruined anyway. No one gives out real candy anymore,
it is all that idiotic "fun size/bite size" crap now.
I try to point out that I'm a 300
pound kid, but they
just won't listen.

Why not just buy a bunch of candy & eat it yourself.

The worst were those fuckers who gave out tiny boxes of boston baked beans!

Not only did the candy SUCK! But there was only a few beans in the box...cheap bastards! They deserved to be egged (or TP'd)!

Way back in the day, the really ambitious mothers gave homemade popcorn balls! Buttery and gooey! I loved them!

I might. I should buy a box of the good classic candy they no longer sell in the stores.

I actually liked those baked beans so I'm not sure how small a box you are talking.

I've totally missed Halloween for the last twenty years or so -- on the West Coast -- where we were lucky to get a couple of surly teenagers. Now that I'm in a small Midwest semi-rural town, I get inundated! I need to buy WAY more candy this year because I ran out last year and the year before.

Oh those were a PRIZED POSSESSION in my halloween bag! I'd usually eat it before I got home.

EEEEK! They tasted burnt. The box had like 6 or 7 beans in it.
