Lollipop based crime is the jurisdiction of Theo Kojak.

Fake News !

The entire tampered with Halloween candy lie was from the fake news in the 70s. And we still get this crap every single year

This sounds like the infamous Blue Star chain letter hoax that’s been going around for years and years (traced as far back as 1964).

I remember being sent home with that letter on two different occasions when I was still in school. That, and the Hallowe’en candy scare stories are old old old moral panics that simply refuse to die.
