Will you eat (or let your kids eat) homemade Halloween trick or treats?

1 Answer

Answer :

Oh my god, I think you should probably be happy if people are putting effort into a Halloween treat and its anything rather than just straight up candy. Yes, I’d dig right into it. If I feared there was a RAZOR BLADE in everything I ate I would cut a year off my life stressing out about it every time I put ANYTHING into my mouth. You know, there could be a razor in that pre packaged snickers bar that some deranged employee at the plant put in too. So I say don’t live in fear, it’s a waste of time. Then again, I don’t have children. But I am a child, so I eat candy, so I think that’s relevant too.
