Everyone has heard the urban legend warning you to watch out for RAZOR BLADES in your Halloween candy . . . and yet, for the past 50 years, the most sinister thing anyone has ever received is Candy Corn or Good & Plenty.

But . . . it’s FINALLY happened.  Multiple razor blades were found hidden in various children’s Halloween candy this week in Eugene, Oregon.  They were small blades . . . like pencil sharpener blades.

The blades allegedly came from the neighborhood of Friendly Eugene.  Yes, Friendly is the neighborhood.

The police are investigating . . . and have narrowed their focus to just a few streets . . . but they haven’t named any suspects yet.

On a related note, two people in Canada were arrested for handing out CANNABIS candies to trick-or-treaters.
