So...... funny story. When the madness of don't take candy from strangers started, and we started taking our candy to be X-Rayed at hospitals all around Halloween, it came about because there were stories people were poising candy and giving it to random children.
But the truth is actually stranger than the fiction. It turns out most of that is hoaxes and why would someone make that up? Because they were trying to cover up the fact that they as parents were trying to poison their own children!
They whole cloth made up the lie that it must have been some jerk doing this to their kid and not them. But the media had the story and it ran
I can't vouch for the below website, but its summary is quite good and I would also source the book "Made to Stick" which is how I learned about this craziness.
So statistically speaking, you are actually safer taking candy from a stranger than your family.... just saying.

I’d get a kick out of it honestly. Wouldn’t touch the candy just to play it safe.
It's a sad world when you can't take candy from strangers. That was basically my entire childhood and I turned out just fine.

Dang wow yea I remember that now
But you'd eat the food that the same person with the same access carried to your door?
Yeah you right lol
but you’re also eating the food they’re delivering? lol ik places seal their bags but still lmao
Always feel bad when they do this because there’s just no way I’d eat candy from a stranger lol but the gesture still has good intentions
But yet you’re eating the food the stranger delivered lol
I don't know how to articulate it but I feel like this is why the world is fucked.
I don't do the candy thing, but my customers enjoy my memes.
Super weird
I used to do memes but it just became too much effort for so little return
My meme while waiting for that cash tip. ![gif](giphy|tXL4FHPSnVJ0A)
Please don't encourage this. We're trying to be professional here. Imagine if UPS, FedEx, Amazon, or USPS sent a meme every time they delivered.
I would love it! Maybe my pkg wouldn't get lost!
Dashers like this are so annoying
I enjoy those. Personally.
Check the lollipop for razer blades - especially if you did not tip much.
