When I was a kid people gave out really good treats: homemade popcorn balls, taffy apples, homemade cookies and brownies, and full size candy bars (they only cost 5 cents back then). Unfortunately those great treats wouldn't be possible today except at a party in your home, due to societal psychoses.

What do you mean? The only reason against that I see is people nowadays are too lazy to make that stuff themselves.


Parents will believe that you mixed your treats with rat poison, hypodermic needles and other fun stuff.

Nice remark, but seriously: are people in the US really messed up enough already to distrust other people's homemade cookies?

But there's also a second order issue: even if no one would complaink if you worry that they might, that may stop you.

It's not like putting poison into bought sweets is much harder than putting them in homemade sweets...
People who are that paranoid should just lock their kids in the basement 24/7 so they're safe from that dangerous and cruel outside world. :twisted:
