[quote]Police say they were notified at midnight Sunday from someone claiming that chocolate candy bars handed out in the Stenning Hills area of the borough had been tampered with, according to CBS Philadelphia. Authorities say sewing-type needles were found inside five wrapped Twix Candy bars given to four different children who had been trick-or-treating door to door in the area of South Union Street and West South Street.[/quote]

pretty fucked up that this happens every year
The whole razor blades in apples fear didn't come out of nowhere, there are a lot of fucked up people out there. In this cases some observant people at least discovered it ahead of time.
What the fuck.......
The fact that this comes from Philadelphia doesn't surprise me.
jesus fucking christ, the people who do this shit need put away in a nut house.

On the whole is almost never actually happens.
Snopes: [quote]Professor Joel Best reported that he's been able to track about eighty cases of sharp objects in food Trick or Treat! incidents since 1959, and almost all were hoaxes. Only about ten culminated in even minor injury, and in the worst case, a woman required a few stitches. Compared to "eat something and die," a couple of stitches barely registers on the scale.[/quote]
[quote] As author Jack Santino noted in his history of Halloween, "pins and needles" rumors began to supplant "poisoned candy" rumors in the mid-1960s, and nearly all such reports of such rumors proved to be hoaxes: [/quote]
while yes, this happens occasionally, it's almost never actually does.
Why?
i would bet my ass this is a hoax.
Just a trick bro

This has happened before.
Where do these folks even go
If they only went around your neighborhood (which young kids should be doing) then parents would probably know if their neighbor is psycho enough to do this shit
I really wish I knew why people do this. It's the exact same with drugs like Ecstasy.
I would eat the shit out of drug-infused Halloween candy. Unfortunately no one ever intends to distribute candy with hundreds of dollars worth of drugs in them.
If it's to get people to fuck off, why? At least just say "fuck off" in their face instead.
"Trick or treat!"
"Both"

no it's not, there has never been a case of children receiving drugs on halloween. think about it logically for a second, drugs aren't cheap. most drug users tend to hide what they have because a) it's illegal, b) it's expensive. Why would they hand out their expensive drugs to random kids (who btw aren't a good market for nearly non addictive drugs such as Ecstasy and LSD).

That's not how it works in my town. There's only really one neighborhood that gives out candy, so everybody in town goes there.
Here comes the media scare.
I knew a story about this would happen this year after all the articles I saw leading up to Halloween where we were told that this never really happens.

Most of these cases are hoaxes or people blaming strangers when they get caught.
These weed needles are getting out of hand.
This reminds me of a documentary that discussed Ronald O'brian, the original candy man. Disgusting fucking people in this world..
I heard of people putting needles n' shit into homeless pet food, but this is just too evil.
:pudge: This is why we can't have nice things.
Imagine the hilarity that would ensue if the candy was laced with LSD.
I would LOVE to be given a happy brownie as a treat.

Not to be a downer, but dosing somebody with any psychedelic without them knowing is an extreme dickhead move.
Just learned my friend's sister teaches the kid that got the needle candy
