My coworker offered me candy corn last year around Halloween and I declined (I’ve never been a big fan – I’d rather use empty calories on chocolate instead). Just for fun, I checked out the ingredient list and saw that it contains “edible shellac”. We still laugh about that, and now I have another reason for refusing to eat candy corn!

The Pixy Stix case was real — the father who killed his son was executed in the mid-80s. I had always heard he was executed on Halloween, but the Snopes link Julie just posted debunks that part of the story:

I have never seen or read about a case where the kids were poisoned or found razors in the apples, I’m pretty sure it’s just a cautionary tale.
