00:00
Sister. Do you remember getting speeches about Halloween candy growing up
00:03
My parents still remind me every year.
00:05
Really? I never got that one thing parents don't understand is
00:12
like, bro, nobody is wasting money on drugs and then
00:15
putting it in candy.
00:16
I wonder what or who's been fueling this myth and why Latino
00:21
parents been keeping it alive?
00:23
Well, look, there's actually a couple of stories that kind
00:25
of, I guess feed into this Halloween candy,
00:30
let me get through them,
00:31
right? So in 1964 a woman from New York was charged
00:34
with endangering Children after she handed out packages of toxic chemicals,
00:39
steel wool and dog biscuits to kids that she thought were too
00:43
old to be trick or treating.
00:45
No kids died. But again,
00:46
it was just like on a sick one and she's like,
00:49
hey, I'm gonna give him like this.
00:50
I'm going to give this guy a pencil sharp like random shit
00:53
like that. Jesus Christ.
00:55
This was giving out dog food.
00:56
She really hated them kids.
00:58
Oh my God. I don't know,
01:01
man. Some people are crazy.
01:02
But look, this next one I think is like the one
01:04
that for sure kind of again started that conspiracy.
01:07
So in 1974 a man named Ronald Clark o'brien poisoned his eight
01:11
year old son with a Pixie stick.
01:12
He had laced with cyanide.
01:14
So homeboy took out a life insurance policy and wanted the death
01:17
look random. So he then gave out other pixie sticks laced
01:21
with cyanide to kids that were trick or treating in the neighborhood
01:24
Luckily, no one was like,
01:26
got affected regardless again to cover it up.
01:29
So that's, I think that's why,
01:32
you know, we're paranoid.
01:33
I know Telemundo went crazy when the story dropped.
01:37
Definitely. And theo was like they were and I don't know
01:44
about you, but I know some parents,
01:46
they check the candy,
01:47
right. That's what I was about to say.
01:49
I was about to say that you said it.
01:52
Yeah. So they check the candy.
01:54
But do you think there's something there?
01:58
So they picked the best candy.
02:00
Exactly, bro. Why did I see Sour Patch kids here
02:06
And then I don't know where they're gone.
02:08
It don't make sense.
02:09
I know I have a fat ass bag and then the next
02:12
day or week you'd be like,
02:15
what happened? Were they in or were they like,
02:18
they just took it for themselves?
02:20
Baptism money and stuff?
02:22
So I live, don't know if Oscar's parents still live there
02:27
They moved but they lived a few houses down and they would
02:32
give the big, big ass chocolate bars.
02:37
People love going to the house because they give the good candy
02:40
And dude, I had a big pack of red wines
02:43
they gave me and I was so excited to eat them.
02:45
Dude, tell me why that shit was gone after my parents
02:48
checked my Ken candy,
02:50
I doubt they'd be given infected,
02:52
drugged up candy. Exactly.
02:54
It's like they're teens for themselves.
02:55
So it's kind of like that idea.
02:58
Right. So, are you guys going to keep the tradition
03:03
going and check your kids candy?
03:06
Because candy bars nowadays,
03:08
bro, they be looking good free candy.
03:11
You ain't got to trick or treat,
03:12
you just get the candy once it's done.
03:13
It is true. I'm done.
