    So far! no-one has ever died from loaded halloween candy. (The few incidents have all been inside jobs, like a parent poisoning their own kid).

    The fentanyl candy scare came from brightly colored Oxy tabs that looked like packed-powder candy such as Sweetarts. It was a non-issue, but made for a scare piece to frighten conservative people who believe in teen rainbow parties.

      Was that party not real? Man I must’ve been on a lot of drugs to hallucinate that

        None of the girls were willing to be the one that wore green lipstick.

      The original is a boomer cartoon about food allergies/preferences

      This version is making fun of a weird scare going on with people claiming that folk are lacing Halloween candy with drugs

        I can’t stand the woke mob catering to people’s allergies. Back in my day we would just suck it up and die.

      The original is a boomer humour comic complaining about PM10 pollution from cars and all the allergies it gives kids. The message of the comic is that we should invest in public transit and walkability to reduce car pollution.

      I’d also very much like someone to explain what this is

    Old classic, still easily quotable to help align brainwave to prime telepathy synchronization (aka having other friends remeber the joke)
