Remember to Stock Up on Toilet Paper and Eggs, Part III

Even when I was a kid, we were told to be wary of candy that might have been tampered with. We were always told a story about the apple with the hidden razor blade, which really didn't make much sense because giving out both apples and razor blades seems too cost-prohibitive for someone wanting to cause mayhem, and also because no self-respecting kid would want an apple on Halloween anyway.

But I still find it a bit depressing that some medical center is offering to X-ray your kid's Halloween treats-trove for free.

But unless someone drove a roofing nail through your Snickers bar, would you even know what a suspicious candy X-ray would look like? I mean, do we really know what nougat is supposed to look like in an X-ray?

I'd like to X-ray a Whatchamacallit, so I can see what's really in that thing.
