I remember the razor blades happening in Tulsa when I was a kid. I also remember my parents inspected my treats to make sure they were safe. I also remember using a brown paper bag, one of the big ones for trick or treating. I always came home with the bag 3/4 full. The treats lasted way past New Years.

We had a problem with kids being given Xanax bars and told they were Pez.

Back in the day, the grown-ups used to make us cut all the mini candy bars in half before eating. After hearing about needles being stuck in them they were taking no chances.

What idiot would waste perfectly good Xanax on a kid? For free? Xanax has a pretty premium street price.
