Scenario #1: Kid looks at it, sees it's not candy, ignores it.
Scenario #2: "Mommy, this lollipop tastes like bleeding."

Guess which one is going to happen every. farking. time. in the real world. Save your outrage and hysteria for something like this.

Giving cocaine away for free?

Yeah, don`t give it to the kids. Give it to me!

Can I dress up and go trick or treating there?

Alright, we can go trick or treating together...

/I`m hoping for treats of cocaine and tricks from the hookers.

mbillips: Until someone shows evidence to the contrary, I ALWAYS assume this sort of thing is Munchhauser's Syndrome By Proxy. Odds of batshiat crazy mom doctoring candy for attention are WAY more likely than random stranger doctoring candy for the lulz.

I think you may be on to something.

Anyone have the link to the FBI finding that the razor blade scare from years ago turned out to be the parents?

With all the 16-18 year old crowd out gathering candy - they should include condoms with the razors.

atomic-age: . The kids at my high school used to tape razors to the locker of one cheerleader who had a prominent moustache.

I hate how stupid we have become about Halloween, we have convinced parents that all they can accept is refined sugar, pre-packaged by large corporations (and I say that as a libertarian who has no moral problem with large corporations). Next year my wife is baking cookies and brownies. If kids don't eat it, oh well. If they do they will have a something delicious.

"It could have been a joke, but it's just unacceptable,"

it could have? IT COULD HAVE?!? humorless coont.

Is it even possible to hurt yourself, even if you're a child, in any way but superficial with a disposable razor?

A stupid joke, sure, but c'mon...

A friend of mine gave out Halls when he ran out of candy.

Ficoce: Anyone have the link to the FBI finding that the razor blade scare from years ago turned out to be the parents?

Here it is from Cracked.

betcha nothing but mommy and the girl's prints show up.

This is absolutely f*cking hilarious.

First of all, without reading TFA I can tell you EXACTLY why this person started doing this - he (or she or them) was TIRED of having 16+ year olds coming to the house...not in costume and carrying a pillowcase...and begging for candy.

I used to hand out job applications in envelopes. We lived in a very nice neighborhood...halloween saw a pretty heavy traffic of little kids, all excited and cute and dressed up - they ALL got nice candy. THEN...later in the night, come the VANS...literal vans full of..uh...urban yoots...your Travons, your Damonts, your Newports, your Sinutabs. Note it's not about the color, it's about the AGE. I'm just saying data-wise in my case they tended to be 99% of the above. And all male - no women.

So I'm guessing this dude observed the same and started dumping safety razors. Dangerous? Hardly. Expensive? Kinda! Funny? As hell.

Or possibly dad put it on the counter before the kids did the grand "candy sort" and now he is keeping his mouth shut because he knows what's good for him.

KrispyKritter: Archie Goodwin: It's not a razor, it's a message.

bingo! and the woman is so incredibly stupid the not so subtle hint flies right over her empty head. OMG, her husband must have bit his lower lip right in half to keep from laughing. the entire neighborhood is going to be bringing this up every Halloween until most of them are dead.

even her little girl is going to catch on in a few years. why is my mommy a clueless moran?

i am so glad my wife is not a stupid woman. i loathe stupid women.

I hear ya...and it's hard work to loathe 99.99% of 50% of the population.

tzzhc4: How exactly is this news?

hawt

Even money that she did it herself for attention whoring purposes.

A bic razor? Damn that is funny. I suppose it would be inappropriate to also hand out condoms (saying that they are balloons.)

Psylent1: NutWrench: That's a weird Halloween gift.

They ran out of toothpaste.

and raisins.

The razor must have been a sympathy present for the mother. It's sad when a woman's hirsuteness is visible from the street, at night...


:P

I'm going to save the boxes from my safety blades and toss them in trick or treaters' bags along with candy. Hilarity may not ensure.

Psylent1: NutWrench: That's a weird Halloween gift.

They ran out of toothpaste.

Maybe the kid had a beard.

Among adults or friends, this is actually really funny. I laughed when I read the story. However, when played as a prank anonymously on a child, it's really kind of creepy.

AbbeySomeone: If a wrapped, unused razor is a threat to your ten year old you have failed as a parent.

Yeah. Obviously it was a joke.

What razor blades before hidden inside apples and candy may look like.
 


What a potentially lethal metal hook left left dangling on the outside of your car looks like after your date with Mary-Jane Rotten-Crotch at Make-Out Point was interrupted by some mysterious noises in the bushes.

+1

pedobearapproved: "I got a rock"

Finally!!

Thank you

So the ten year old kid couldn't tell a packaged razor from a handful of candy thrown in her bag? You would think the kid would go 'wow, that's weird, Mrs.So and So gave me a packaged razor'.

sand?

but that's what u eat!

You're the jerk... jerk: I hate how stupid we have become about Halloween, we have convinced parents that all they can accept is refined sugar, pre-packaged by large corporations (and I say that as a libertarian who has no moral problem with large corporations). Next year my wife is baking cookies and brownies. If kids don't eat it, oh well. If they do they will have a something delicious.

One house had a firepit and were toasting marshmellows.

A disposable razor?
I just give out Taco Bell hot sauce packets.

I call bullshiat attention whore.

We're not too impressed with you, either, Buckwheat.

Razor blades? Meh. I used to slip ice cubes into the paper bags a lot of the younger kids used, then sent out my own kid to follow them and score the dropouts from the torn bags. Then she would bring home the candy and we would hand THAT out. We would generally get through every Halloween with only one small bag of candy.

SwiftFox: Psylent1: NutWrench: That's a weird Halloween gift.

They ran out of toothpaste.

Probably pulled it out of the same bag from the drugstore they brought the candy home in.

I once got someone's car and house keys in a little paper bag, and had to go back and knock on more doors to find out whose. Finally, "No, we haven't lost... hey those are our keys!" and since trick-or-treating was over, They gave me about a hundred packages of Whopper malted milk balls they had left over.

Somebody gives you a house and a car for Halloween and you take it back?

There's no pleasing some people.

Beats getting a bag of "scarrots".
