My kids are very aware that Halloween candy may be poisoned. Every year, after they finish trick-or-treating they will lay the buckets of candy on the table for inspection[1]. I will then taste several packs to make sure they are safe. If I do not show any side effects we conclude that the candy eaten was good. The kids wait patiently for a couple of weeks as I repeat the process and certify that all the candy they brought was indeed safe. Then I serve the kids salad.

- jdavis703 9y agoThis actually just sounds like a really elaborate "tax" on your children's stash. If you fear the candy is actually dangerous, then perhaps you'd be better off just buying some from the store and distributing it to your kids, that ways they don't run the risk of loosing their parent.
- agoodthrowaway 9y agoClearly his post was humorous and intended to poke fun at people's paranoia of poisoned candy.
- wavefunction 9y agoActually I think OP is implying he just eats all of his kids' Halloween candy and serves them salad instead.
- heartbreak 9y agoWhich is exactly what my mom did, minus the salad. Now I eat all the candy instead of handing it out. Thanks mom.
- Divver 9y agoWhen I become a parent, I shall do the same thing with my kids. Thanks for sharing your wisdom.
