Am I the only one who got flashbacks to "needles in candy bars, razorblades in apples" at the rainbow fentanyl bit?

Yup. Just as silly. Iirc, weren't those pins and razors supposed to have been put there by the Moonies? My home town offered to X-ray halloween candy. Pretty sure nothing was ever found. Anyway, the DEA's "they're marketing this to kids" shows just how out of touch they are.

1) Kids would be one time customers.

2) Dead kids are a spectacular way to draw attention to an illicit business.

3) Colors are branding efforts like Mitsubishi symbols stamped on E tabs twenty years ago.

I have a distinct memory of halloween in, like 2003 where we were eating candy while my mom had a news special on the needles and razorblades playing ! And I was shoving mini snickers in my face like nobody's business. I don't remember anyone mentioning the moonies, but I was trick or treating in SC and they haven't really made an appearance there so far. I don't have kids but good god this has got to be a crazy time to try and raise them- and I'm sure there's a bit of truth in this somewhere and I get that people want to be safe but I overwhelmingly don't think drug dealers are slipping fentanyl to kids across the country

The Moonies were much more of a 70s thing but probably smart enough not to go get their asses kicked in SC ЁЯШЙ
