The "drugs in candy" myth is definitely my favorite one of these. Imagine, you're dealing in illicit substances, potent _expensive_ shit, and you decide that the best market to open up for these is literal children with no financial power of their own and zero odds of being repeat clients. I'm sure Bobby, age 5, will be more than happy to steal his mom's credit card for another smack at them doped-up milk duds.
I reckon they mean basically any harmful substance, whether or not it’s a drug or if it’s expensive ones you’d get from a dealer. Some people are just absolute disgusting human beings like that and will rest easy that night knowing that they poisoned and/or murdered a handful of children
In san Fransisco a gram of fentanyl is 10$ and the dealers in the tenderloin all try and be the first to break out their bag in order to give out a sample and to lock in the sale. An addict could ( and I've witnessed this personally) go from one corner to the next saying they need a sample and are going to go around the corner to shoot up and will be back to buy an amount. You couldn't do this frequently for a long period of time . But you could do it both shifts in a day. And meth is even cheaper...............,..it's out of control . I've seen addicts trick or treat for drugs all through the year. 😅
A few years back a kid got a little fucked up from a few tootsie rolls he had eaten. Fever, puking, was really out of it. When his mom took him in they did a bunch of tests before finding out he digested cocaine and then she took to Facebook. I know the guy who handed out those tootsie rolls, he had cocaine debris on his table that he poured the tootsie rolls on. He felt so bad about the situation he actually quit doing drugs and decided tootsie rolls aren't the candy to pass anymore.
i can definitely see a parent buying this for their kids and throwing out every single piece of candy because the ring on their finger is setting it off
@@MarkToast99 which candy bar has a foil wrapper? its plastic my dude. even stuff like gushers has gone to plastic. i cant think of a single halloween candy that has any foil in the modern age.
Dude with a friend in the candy industry here. Normally when someone finds a “razor blade” in their candy 9 times out of 10 it’s actually a metal shard that has broken off of a conveyor. This can happen with lots of stuff from canned goods to soft drinks though safety standards for that kind of contamination has become so good that it’s exceedingly rare (bugs on the other hand while still rare are more common). If you by chance do find a metal/wood/glass shard in a prepackaged consumable contact the company immediately along with any information on the batch if you can find it on the packaging. If they’re worth their salt they will immediately shut down that line until the problem is solved. It’s also considered good practice to send thanks in some form, normally via a coupon or in some cases an entire box of whatever you bought and/or similar goods (from a different batch/line of course.) Edit: ancient comment I know but for the people talking about that Johnny Test episode, that’s actually based on a real trend from the 90’s to the early 2000’s where a LOT of people were faking damaged or contaminated goods to game the system and get free stuff. Of course it’s always happened before and since but for a while the behavior was so rampant that it made the national news.
If this was the main candy bucket your kid is carrying, and IF it actually ever went off, they're now staring face-to-face with someone who just gave them something dangerous. That seems...dangerous.
Yeah. At that point, the kids would have to deal with trying to escape or negotiate with a threatening person. Just like what some people have said in the comments section, you should just accompany your kids trick or treating on Halloween.
@@LycanKai14 how else does an alleged tampered piece of candy get in a bucket? I assumed kids walk door to door and at one of those doors, someone has tampered with the candy they are giving out. Normally, it goes in a bucket and becomes anonymous. But if it sets off an alarm as it goes in the bucket, it's not anonymous who did it. Parents are usually with kids true, but I have seen tons of parents wait at sidewalk distance while kids go up to doors. I'm just thinking worst case scenarios, someone looking to hurt children might act suddenly if an alarm goes off while they know they're doing something bad.
it’s funny how something like “checking your children’s candy” started as a joke for parents to eat candy, but has transformed into something that is a genuine fear for some 😂
We were talking about this in my socio class and for the case that happened in the 50’s, it was concluded that it was actually the parent who contaminated their children’s candy and was less of a “they’re poisoning our kids candy!” And more of a specific child abuse situation. The headlines were indeed fear mongering because the topic of child abuse began to rise and they realized that children were getting hurt but using media to highlight the wrong causes. Instead of realizing, “hey, parents are hurting their children”, they blame it on the candy
From what I've heard, that was deliberate: this was right around the time packaging candy for Halloween was actually practical ("fun size" Snickers, etc.) so the candy makers jumped on the poisoned kid story to try and promote their product. "All our candy is safely wrapped in plastic, no way the evil drug dealers could get their poison in these candies! Stop giving out those dangerous unprotected apples and invest in our candy instead!"
This is true. It was also a time where people didn’t want to believe abuse happened so they would make things bigger than what they needed to be so they could live in the fantasy, or they would quiet it down for the same effect.
The promise of drug laced candy had me trick or treating well into my teens. Between Halloween and the D.A.R.E. program I was under the impression I was going to encounter a lot more people trying to get me high.
the 'poisoned candy' thing I believe got more mainstream after the Rondal O'Bryan case in 70's. Where Ronald's son died after eating cynide laced pixie sticks and Rondal claimed it was given to them by a mysterious man in one of the houses they've been at, and the police went into high gear and for days it was publicized that someone gave kids poisoned candy(four sticks were poisoned) and then it turned out that Ronald did it himself for insurance money he took on his two kids, and the other two pixie sticks he gave out were just a smoke screen to divert suspicion from him...bc if only his kids got the tampered candy then he'd be imidietly looked into into. So yeah, it was all just one shitty, greedy parent trying to off his own children and get away with it.
Why couldn't you just not eat the candy yet go home and first cut the chocolate candy in half to check if there is any razor blade in it, you seriously don't need that mechanized bucket that can only detect one candy.
I think another thing people aren’t aware of is the fact if you as a parent might be wearing a ring or something metallic in your halloween costume could easily trigger a false positive, making you search through a whole bowl of candy for nothing.
"Hey kid what are you this year?" "I'm a ballerina!" "Alright then, don't eat it all in one night!" *WHONNNK* "The f..." "EVERY ONE RUN! CALL THE COPS! THIS MAN IS TRYING TO KILL OUR KIDS!!" He will spend the rest of his days telling his kids about how he was sent to prison because the ring on his hand set off the metal detector in a trick or treat bucket.
Also, I feel like if you were THAT bought into the “razor blades in candy” myth, it would be infinitely easier to just buy a handheld metal detector and running it over the candy before allowing the kid to eat it.
@Cheesers When I was a kid, my dad made us take a magnet and pass through every single piece of candy when we got home before we were allowed to eat any of it. Not a joke
In Australia a few years back we actually had cases of people putting sewing needles in strawberries & there was a mass panic about that for a bit. Not during Halloween or anything just someone working in the stores was sticking them in & it was fkin terrifying.
I’m in the states and we had an issue with the needles too. There was someone putting them in cookies at some of our grocery stores for whatever reason. Weird stuff
I'm not going to say that that's not unpleasant, but it sounds like you'd notice that either in preparing the fruit or in eating it. If a person bit into a strawberry that had a needle in it they would definitely notice that something was wrong, or if they were slicing an orange then the knife skipping off of metal would be a dead giveaway. Still super unpleasant for sure to bite into a needle and it is entirely unhinged to put needles into food for the sake of wanton destruction but the odds of a needle doing medically significant damage seem low.
The bucket itself is actually pretty cute. If he would've made it just light up as opposed to detect metal, he could've slapped a $10 price tag on it & banked. Not to mention he wouldn't be being made fun of on the internet for his crafty little bucket. Win win
Yeah, it's a cute design and more decorative candy buckets have been a big thing in the past few years, one that lights up would definitely excite some kids.
The few cases of candy tampering I've heard of all turned out to be the parents themselves trying to kill their kid or one of the kid's friends. Except in one case where a kid ate some of grandpa's hidden heroin and the parents laced the candy to cover for grandpa.
Yep I heard a sister left her son with her brother and he had accidentally dropped some oxies or something on the carpet and the kid dumped the candy out on the carpet, just four years old. I believe it was just an accident, though.
I remember as a child I once got a candy bar on Halloween, and just so happen to bite right into a Barrett M82. If i had "Boo" the bucket ghost, maybe I wouldn't be so scared of Twix bars.
One time when I was a kid, I was eating a pack of M&Ms and someone put an Apache helicopter in one of the pieces. I broke a tooth sure, but jokes on them, because after a bit of work, I got a free helicopter out of it.
this has actually happened twice in my area (to my knowledge) Once it was homemade popcorn balls with metal bits in them and then 5-10 years later someone pushed sewing needles into mars bars. Both of the guys were arrested and were 80+ year old men.
my question is: why on EARTH would people do such a thing?? I mean, good or bad, what the hell is their motive?? Is their fetish seeing kids they don't even know just suffer?? They might not even see them eat the candy since the kids eat most of their candy at home!! Whats even the logic here??
these kids will never learn about- _cough_ EEK- true pain! its time to- EEEUGH _cough_ _cough_ teach them what is real pain! (proceeds to stick needles in mars bars)
If someone is so terrified of this incredibly unlikely situation that they buy a metal detecting bucket, I'm surprised their kids are even allowed to leave the house.
There was actually a Dad who poisoned his own family with pixie sticks back in the 70’s for insurance, but that is the only story I know of where a kid actually died and it was at the hands of his own father. We took our daughter to trick or treat at my husband’s office at Microsoft. Our daughter always ended up with a bucket full of full-size candy bars because his coworkers went full out on Halloween. The offices were decorated and everyone dressed up. It was fun for the kids.
I know the case you were talking about, and the reason he purposely poisoned his son was for money. He’d taken out a life insurance policy before the murder - and he had the gall to claim innocence when everyone figured out it was him up until he was executed.
OMG, this had me laughing so hard! "What kind of psychopath is giving out apples on Halloween?" And "who's giving away free drugs on Halloween ?? "... Priceless
This happened in Kenora, Canada in 2020. Southside suburbs didn't like indigenous kids showing up to get the good candy in their neighborhood. They even complained about it on the local online rant and rave page. It was nuts.
@@thebigdawgj That's just mean. They're children, not meth heads. Re-evaluate your perspective or remain bigoted. With your mindset, I wouldn't be surprised if you're the one who did it.
@@thebigdawgj I figured since you said Kenora based, that's where you were. My bad. But no, I totally disagree with you. This isn't apartheid South Africa. They're not even a gated community. All kids, especially Indigenous children should be allowed to go out for Halloween wherever they please on their ancestor's stolen land.
My favourite thing is that the strange fear of parents scared people are gonna poison or tamper with their children’s candy comes from a dad who tried to cover it up by doing it to his own kid and then blaming some strangers candy. The last 20-30 years have objectively been the safest time ever to raise kids but parents are still incredibly neurotic.
kinda disagree with the "safest time to raise kids" bc tik tok and youtube kids are a thing so as long as you keep them away from the internet at a young age yeah then its safe but if your a parent who y'know lets the internet practically babysit your child then theres gonna be some problems but i get what your saying
The bucket wasn't a bad idea a a scam, you get some money from of out of touch parents, and the suckers get the illusion of doing something. But you need to advertise it directly to the parents. Should've hired someone who knows how to market.
Might as well equip the bucket with a computer and trackers you can place on houses so you can track which pieces of candy came from who to orbital strike all those who give out the most evil and dangerous treats.
There's no way he couldn't have realized during development that the whole "razor blade in candy" thing is an urban myth. He definitely just did it for a quick buck.
Being 100% honest, my friend made this product and he was 100% genuine in making it and had a good meaning and why he did it but yes it’s most likely not going to happend but he did mean well
6:05 To be fair to the product, you wouldn't have to open each piece of candy to figure out which one was bad. It would scream at you again when you took the bad candy out, so you could pretty quickly narrow down which candy was causing it.
@@calamitysangfroid2407you wouldnt even have to take them out individually. In theory you would know as soon as the candy enters the bucket, meaning that you would only have to check the top layer. But even if you didn't know when the candy went in, you could still find it quickly. All you have to do is dump out half the bucket, and if the a.arm doesn't go off, you know all of that candy is safe. Or, if it does go off you can test that pile in smaller groups.
@@dupuis2000 thats how I feel. The products shittiness is tied to the problem its adressing isnt real, not that the device is complicated or unintuitive. Its a damn bucket. it beeps when metal goes in.
@@commander8625 Yeah, dude. Lemme just dump out half of my candy onto the ground while I’m out Trick or Treating and then when it inevitably sounds off the alarm, I’ll have to put each one back into the bucket one at a time anyway to single out which one is the problem candy. Real great and well thought out solution you came up with. And that’s just assuming there’s only a single problem candy. There’s always a chance that there was more than one in that handful that got dumped in, so you can’t even just stop once the bucket sounds the alarm. You’d need to test every single one in the group that sounded off the alarm to make sure you’re safe, unless you want to just throw them all back in at the same time and hope that there wasn’t another one in that group. Otherwise, you’ll have to repeat the entire process all over again. You know what would be a better solution? Just carrying a second bucket/bag to transfer the good candy into as you get them. That way, when the alarm totally goes off on the bucket, there would never be that much to have to deal with in there. Even if you get a handful at a time.
6:34 you don't have to open all the candy, you have a metal detector right there. It's not a big bucket either so just pass the candy through the detector one by one
also, if the metal detector goes off then something is awry and the inconvenience of having to pick through the candy to find the potentially dangerous metal is barely worth complaining about
My dad used the razor myth as an excuse to look through the candy and pick out his favorites. Like imagine your parent saying “Hang on kid let me check for razor blades and drugs…(takes all the right twix, red starbursts, and banana laffy taffy)… All clear”
I find it funny how Charlie said “there’s no way of knowing without opening each candy individually” but you could just go home and test each candy individually by putting them through the bucket again lmfao💀
Or just buy a a regular bucket a metal detector wand for like less than half of the bucket and just give it a pass when you get home, it's still a really dumb product
Okay who the fuck has access to a wrapping machine that can re-wrap candy perfectly to make it look like an official product anyway? There was always fear mongering about this but I never once heard of it actually happening.
Yeah but then you don't know which house the candy was from and can't report them and if you're just gonna do that then theres cheaper ways of doing it than getting this bucket
@@Looker0 Lol ur a real life bot replying on almost every single comment like this is god damned Reddit or something. Then u have the audacity to say you never even watched Charlie's video. Wow. Why are u even here then? Watch the video like a normal person... Oh + your racist by supporting a bot that only spams the N-word. RUclips comments out of hand fr.
There was a case a few years ago where a dad put rat poison in his kids pixie sticks and was using the hysteria of tampered Halloween candy to try to build an alibi, I can't remember if it was his son or his daughter but one of the kids actually died, he also handed out a few other tampered pixie sticks to the neighbors kids but fortunately his kid was the only one who actually ate any
It happened in Houston Texas in 1974, the man was named Ronald Clark O'Bryan, also known as The Candy Man and The Man Who Ruined Halloween. He killed his 8 year old son named Timothy and tried to kill his other kid a 5 year old daughter named Elizabeth and three other kids (children of his neighbors and friends) to disguised the killing. Only his son ate his since his daughter was super sleepy and went to bed immediately. His son complained his stomach hurt very much and as he was vomiting and convulsing in the bathroom, he went limp in his dad’s arms. Timothy died on the way to the hospital, in most likely horrible pain.😢 The other kids didn’t eat theirs but one kid almost did but couldn’t open the stick due to the staples and instead fell asleep with the poisoned candy in his hands. Ronald was in massive debt of over $100,000 at the time due to him not being able to hold down a job (he had over 21 jobs in 10 yrs and at the time of the murder he was about to be fired from his at the current job he was being investigated for theft). He had taken multiple life insurances on his two kids, ranging from 10,000 to 20,000 on each kid, and planed to cover his debt and take a long vacation and buying new stuff with the money. Apparently Ronald planned this months in advance and bought the potassium cyanide the day before Halloween and put in his son’s pixie stick enough poison to kill 2 grown men and the other 4 sticks enough to kill 3 or 4 men. He try to use the famous myth of a psychopath poisoning candy but it fell apart when he couldn’t identify the “neighbor” who gave the candy and when he did point out the house he supposedly got the candies from, the actual homeowner wasn’t at home at the time since he was at work which was confirmed by his coworkers. Plus the kids all said they were given the pixie sticks by Ronald before even going trick and treating. Plus his wife said after coming home and dropping the neighbors kids off, he was very adamant their kids eat the pixie sticks before going to bed. Plus immediately the day his son has died he collected the insurance company to take out the money from the multiple policies and at his son’s funeral bragged to family that he couldn’t wait to use the money for a vacation. When arrested he was adamant that he was innocent and loved his kids, that it was a “crazed poisoner” who did it. He was given the death penalty and was executed by lethal injection and still saying he was innocent despite the huge evidence against him. O'Bryan was shunned and despised by his fellow death row inmates for killing his child and was "absolutely friendless". The inmates reportedly petitioned to hold an organized demonstration on O'Bryan's execution date to express their hatred of him. He was put in solitary confinement for his own safety I think due to the other inmates threatening violence towards him. Also I think he was the first man in Texas to be executed by lethal injection and his last words were, "What is about to transpire in a few moments is wrong! However, we as human beings do make mistakes and errors. This execution is one of those wrongs yet doesn’t mean our whole system of justice is wrong. Therefore, I would forgive all who have taken part in any way in my death. Also, to anyone I have offended in any way during my 39 years, I pray and ask your forgiveness, just as I forgive anyone who offended me in any way. And I pray and ask God’s forgiveness for all of us respectively as human beings. To my loved ones, I extend my undying love. To those close to me, know in your hearts I love you one and all. God bless you all and may God’s best blessings be always yours. Ronald C. O’Bryan P.S. During my time here, I have been treated well by all T.D.C. personnel." Also during his execution a crowd of 300 demonstrators gathered outside the prison cheered while some yelled "Trick or treat!". Others showered anti-death penalty demonstrators with candy. His wife claimed she didn’t know anything but his plans so wasn’t charged with anything and quickly divorced him after he was sentenced.
@@Krystal40553I was looking for this story! That's what I thought of when he said it doesn't happen. I coulda done without the description of the kid dying but you made up for it by giving me the palate cleanser of him being a miserable fuck up until he died. Damn very detailed man.
@@icephoenix174 Well I live in Texas and I’m fascinated by true crime, and I was highly interested in this case since it’s close to me and supposedly he was the man who started or revitalize the poisoned candy myth since during the initial investigation the whole city was in fear there was a crazy man poisoning candy and I think most families sent their candies to the police to check for poison or threw them away. I think even the company of Pixies Sticks delt with some losses due to the paranoia. It’s detailed as I was checking other websites to make sure I was getting the facts correctly as I know so much on top of my head. I apologize for adding the death of the kid as it was reported in the autopsy reports, by Ronald and his wife’s testimony but to show how evil this man is as he was there watching what was happening and comforting his son while he did this to him, I can’t help but feel he probably got some sick joy watching what was happening. It’s really sad and tragic but I’m glad Timothy got justice and Ronald died alone and possibly in fear as he is hated by his community and by other death row inmates for his crime.
I'm so sorry about this, I'll talk to this bucket about it. I'll keep yall updated on what he says. Edit: He says that he will start putting bombs in candy. Us at Bucket Inc will keep a close eye on him.
Theres also the fact that at least from personal experience, most Halloween candy thats given out is the usual store bought small and/or pre-packaged candy, so if it had been opened at any point then even the kids would notice as theres no easy way to seal it back up
6:20 good point charlie. There’s also the fact that if the bucket gets popular, everyone would know about it and people would know which bucket to give the metallic candy to.
You don't need to break any candy if there's a handfull dropped in at once. You can just take them out and drop them back in individually. But I also see a major flaw that has gone unnoticed: what if the candy has those metal foil wrappers that set off the detector?
Could be rare but what if someone was giving away treat bags that included a toy that had any trace of metal in it, however ideally safe and not sharp/a choking hazard?
Here in Australia there was an incident where someone working at a fruit farm was hiding sewing needles in strawberries and a few people found out the hard way and now I’m terrified of strawberries
I think I remember hearing about that, or something similar happening at some farm in America. Either way, the story I heard died within a day and hasn't been spoken of since. Meanwhile this legend of razorblades in candy is mentioned every year for a full week or two.
Are you terrified of cars too? People actually die from those every single day. What about planes? They’ve crashed before. What an irrational stupid fear. The odds of that happening are less likely than dying in a plane crash.
@@HCG this just in irrational fears are irrational! I'm sure you're one of those people who think mental health issues can be overcome will sheer will
@@johnr797 It doesn't need to be magnetic. Aluminum foil is commonly used with candy, and if you have metal detected before, you know that bad boi is going to trigger the detector
This tainted candy thing sounds like a very, very old school throwback. I remember my Grandma who was from WV used to obsessively check to make sure the house was locked up tight. 'Or the Gypsies would break in'. No matter how hard we tried to tell Granny there was like no Roma population around for hundreds of miles she was on full Star Trek Red Alert for Gypsies until the day she died. Apparently whenever anything bad or unexplained happened in the region she grew up in people blamed it on mysterious, unseen bands of Roma. Even though even back then there was no Roma people in that area 'the Gypsies did it'. It's this irrational paranoia of 'the other'.
On top of this product idea being based on a myth/scare tactic, I'd also have to wonder how accurate you'd be able to make the metal detector in the rim while keeping costs down. After all, Hershey's Kisses, Reese's Mini PB cups, and countless dollar store chocolates come wrapped in metallic foil.
Last Halloween I nearly died after nearly swallowing a candy corn that had a machete imbedded in it. This bucket is revolutionary, I will buy stock right now!
I had a similar experience! Where I was opening up a tootsie roll and when I was taking a bite I noticed a 12 Gauge Mossberg 500 was lodged in it. Some real scary stuff! Buying my bucket now.
This is like if someone looked at those fake stories about finding drugs disguised as candy, and decided to make a bucket that automatically calls the cops with the offenders location if it senses any drugs in it
Sam needs to produce demand and then give supply. If Boo isn't funded because there are no razors in a Snickers bar, he should do something about it en masse 😈
I wonder about the panic that could be caused by a twisty tie on those goody bags that some people premake to hand out, like how some houses do that for allergic kids? Because the tie has a metal wire in it and they’re pretty common
The only thing we've ever checked for at my house is expiration dates and open packaging, which are things you really should look for. They're easily missed, and a very real threat to your health. I've had both multiple times in my candy bags.
This was my conclusion too. I wouldn’t be openly looking for razor blades in candy. But if something felt off about a wrapper, whether it be sealed weirdly or obviously resealed it was out. And expiration dates are an immediate no.
6:53 well actually you don’t need to go through each candy and open it up, you just have to take the candy out and put it back in the bucket one by one and get it to trigger again
Australia had something similar but not a Halloween thing, we had people sticking pins in strawberries at the shopping centres just because, I'm fairly positive atleast one person was charged for it. Turned into a big deal for like 3 months
@Wynn trust me, with the cultural indifference to halloween, concerns of safety, the advent of internet social activity, and the pandemic, young parents don't bother taking kids to halloween anymore. Also, it's just sad trick or treating as an adult, stop that.
@Jacob no one's stopping you from chaperoning another kid on their trick of treat night, or handing out candy to other kids. Dressing up as an adult for the sole purpose of demanding candy from other adults is just sad. Buy the candy at a store if you really want it.
@Jacob and if you want to dress up for the occasion, there's costume parties, street parades and cosplay contests. Nothing is stopping you from enjoying the individual aspects of Halloween.
I love how Charlie's first complaint about this bucket is the inconvenience of searching for a razor blade through all the candy and ruining the other candy, like attempted murder doesn't take precedent over the sweets.
For anyone interested in the subject I believe the podcast Decoding the Unknown, which is focused on debunking conspiracy theories and urban legends, covered the topic. They went through the 3 actual cases of kids dying from halloween candy and in all 3 cases it was actually the family's fault. Hell, in one case it was a murder to commit insurance fraud edit: Also Charlie does have a funny "small brain" moment here. "Oh if they drop a handful of candy in now you have to open them all one by one to check!" or you could just pick that handful up and drop them back in one at a time till it buzzes again
@Malayna Petersen im sure the bucket can pick up on multiple passes of the same 'dangerous' object, if it were present. Just take out the top most candy dumped in, and toss it back in one at a time. Repeat until kazoo fanfare plays
@@hithisthers7214 and then when that dad went to prison, his own death row inmates hated him for murdering a child :X it's a pretty interesting story if anyone wants to look it up
Back in 2013 in my city, Huntington Beach, I remember hearing about a kid I knew having gotten Halloween candy laced with methanphetamine. He ended up being fine after the fact, and this is the only real case I could think of when it comes to this.
I mean you wouldn’t have to open and inspect each piece of candy, you could just send each piece through the bucket again to find the one with metal in it. C’mon Charlie, 2 seconds of thought here lol
It's still a bad idea though. Some stranger decides to attempt to have children swallow sharp objects. As soon as they give the candy immediately the bucket alerts metal is inside. They'd probably freak out and scream about it on the porch. That's still attempted man slaughter to children even if it's never eaten. And most kids don't go with their parents to houses since it's lame in their eyes. They'd be very inclined to do something worse and not let the kids go back to their parents right there on the porch with a weapon to not get jail time. Assuming that this invisible threat actually happened of course. In real life this would just be an expensive bucket that never needs it's main function besides an older sibling pranking the younger one into giving all their candy
@@cottonycoyote True. So yea in that instance where you have multiple candies wrapped in foil ig you would have to unwrap them and send them through, making Charlie right. Fortunately though, most candy wrapped in foil sucks anyway so nothing of value was lost 👍
Thanks for this Charlie. I was having a shitty day. “Ghost adjacent”, and ‘Glorbis’ the ghost were my favourites. Edit: Also, I’m definitely going as Glorbis the Ghost for Halloween this year.
coincidentally this "myth" is something that actually happened in my country (New Zealand) where people were putting needles inside of fruit at supermarkets, so bring on the Boo Bucket I say 😅
This apparently happened jn Australia the same way but myth doesn’t mean it never happened there were cases that it had occurred in the United States he says it in the video but most of it was fear mongering or some fishy activity
More than 20 years ago my grandmother was checking my candy in front of me, breaking chocolate bars in half. I thought she was being over protective but one of them had a large sewing needle in it. So it's not a complete myth, but it's definitely incredibly unlikely, especially nowadays.
There has been Halloween candy deaths is the thing. Plus the razor one wasn’t a myth. It’s why all candy in the 90s came from premade stuff and no home made anymore.
@@zerotodona1495 ah yes the 1990s that's whenever corporations first began mass producing candy. And the reason why was because of all the razer blades that were in kids candy. Yes. That definitely makes complete sense. X_X
@@pintolerance785 You're missing the point. Not like everything gets reported, I'd be more surprised if it hadn't ever happened. Y'all forget that like just last year a couple were jailed for baking cupcakes with the dudes nut and feeding it to kids lmao. Not saying this is necessary, but lets not act like it's impossible.
I don’t think you would have to check every piece of candy if it honked. You could just take out the top pieces and place them back in one by one to see which one honked.
or literally just make a mental note that there was a honk and to break the candies in half or pieces as you eat them... its really not a hard concept and I dont get why charlie thinks u need to investigate on the persons doorstep.
2:01 how dare you call me a made-up boogeyman, I exist, and I have been putting razorblades in Halloween candy for as long as I can remember, and I would like to be recognized for my hard work thank you very much
8:15 this made me think of a candy bucket with a pull siren. Like… kids don’t get razor blades but they do get kidnapped. What if they had invested in like… howling wolf buckets or screeching witches or screaming ghost noises. Something blood curdling but Halloween themes - edit: after looking at the replies I agree that a pull necklace would be more effective
If you're gonna go through the effort, at that point you should just give the kid an actual safety alarm. Who's gonna go looking when they hear a wolf howl sound effect on halloween? it's just going to blend into everything else.
Once upon a time, when I was but a wee lad, I was walking from street to street collecting sweets on Hallows Eve. I took a bite out of a Hershey’s brand chocolate bar and got a medieval broadsword made of iron lodged in the roof of my mouth. If only I had a Boo the Ghost brand candy bucket to prevent this unfortunate folly.
1. Love that a person from my university is someone Charlie cited 2. Only bad Halloween I had was where a couple was like "who wants to win Halloween?" And I went "me!" And they gave me an apple. No razors blades in it. They just managed to trick lil 8 year old me into accepting an apple instead of candy. My sisters and cousins all got candy from this couple.
I've had many different bad Halloween experiences, but none of them has made me stop loving Halloween. I got drugged by an old man. He put crushed up benadryl in the candy he was handing out. My baby cousin and I were attacked by a dog that I sadly had to kick in the mouth to keep it from biting my baby cousin. I got attacked by a man in a clown costume and I beat his ass into the dirt in front of my baby cousin, her friend, and the man's girlfriend. Dude dressed up like Leatherface picked a friend of mine off the ground and threw him onto a rock, knocking the wind out of him. I had borrowed my grandpa's axe for my costume so I was swinging that thing like crazy and was able to chase off the dude. Nearly got hit by cars on multiple occasions but who hasn't? Some dick bag tried to kidnap my best friend's little sister and I broke his fingers as payback. But yeah. Halloween is still my favorite holiday!
I remember being a child and there were always adults talking about how parents needed to check the trick or treat candy to make sure it was safe, and all the kids knew it was some bullshit they were making up so they could eat a few pieces of candy while "checking" it. Grown ups think they slick but they ain't.
Also love the fact that anyone who would want to do this to kids would INSTANTLY know what's happening. It's the most blatant in your face product possible.
3:48 OH MY GOD YES, that was my EXACT reaction when I first heard of candy supposedly bring laced with drugs, like damn, maybe I should go trick or treating this year 😂🤣
Honestly, checking your children's candy is never a bad thing to do and shouldn't really be shunned. Maybe it's because I'm an overthinker, but better safe than sorry. However, having a WHOLE product dedicated to try and metal in your kids' candy is pretty funny lol
Yeah, is Charlie seriously so oblivious that the concept of weirdos putting dangerous things in the candy they gave to a kid is just... just unheard of? I don’t know where he did his research, but people find needs in their fruits from grocery stores all the time. And he thinks there’s no weirdos who spike people’s food and drink with drugs? Seriously Charlie?
@@JohnnyWolfblood no his take isn't bad as proven by all the people who watched this video and didn't see a problem with his take lmao. Both of you got problems honestly if A. You check your child's candy for dangerous items and then you send them to a school in North America. B. The amount of cases where there is Children's Candy that has razor blades or Needles in it. Do you know how many cases or deaths there are caused by razers or needles in Halloween candie. Actually 0 because it's fake it's an old folk tale. I'd like to see your stats chief you come back to me with reported cases of children dying from ingesting razer blades in their Halloween candy. Go ahead. I'll wait.
@@JohnnyWolfblood bruh he's not saying people isnt spiking food, he's saying no one is putting drugs in candies that the kids will eat at home away from them. Drugs are expensive. And no one is spiking halloween candy either, it would be useless, the kids are gonna eat those at home, what would be the purpose? Also he's literally showing the research that you're wondering about. There are literally only 3 cases of halloween candies tampered with so far, and one of those was an actual homicide the kid's dad did to collect insurance.
@@EveTheRaviolo that isn’t true, there are 3 cases of kids getting injured or dying, that’s all. there are hundreds of cases of candy being tampered with. i think there were a few instances just in ohio a couple years ago of sewing needles in candy-if you simply search it up, past all the opinion articles talking about the myth, you can find recent police reports and such. i’m sure a lot of them were people looking for attention, but let’s not pretend it never happens, or that nobody should bother checking candy. i live in canada, there’s been a couple cases in calgary, iqaluit, and a few in alberta. again, isn’t a widespread thing, but still-it happens, and police urge parents to check halloween candy every year. if anything, checking candy is great cause you’d probably throw away anything with a broken wrapper that could’ve been contaminated w germs or gone bad :^) as long as we don’t fearmonger, it’s reasonable to be cautious
@@EveTheRaviolo oo also as for the drugs, you’d be surprised how many people will drug someone just for the knowledge that they will be seriously harmed or have an absolute shit night. date rape drugs are often used as ‘pranks’ on absolute strangers(strange word for that situation, but it’s what the experts use.) some people just want to know they’re hurting people, and that’s enough. i’ve experienced it myself, somebody put something in both me and my boyfriend’s drink, knowing full well there would be no interaction between us, just to know 2 strangers were suffering. of course, no need to believe my stories, you can do some research. maybe canada’s got more villains that america, hah.
When you get home just open the candy carefully and make sure theres nothing in it. That's why I don't go trick or treating because it's too stressful thinking about this
A few years ago somebody in a Facebook group near me was throwing a huge fit insisting their kid got THC gummies at a church trunk or treat event and was even tagging the local police department. As soon as people started asking questions she was unable to give any more info and eventually got rid of the post. Shocker.
My favorite thing about this myth is that the parents who usually "find things" in their kids candy either put it there themselves to harm the kid or their kid was friends with the kid whose dad poisoned the candy.
@@chriscanfly6386 So I'm guessing you've never heard of the story of the neighborhood that had arsenic in a bunch of candy pixie stix and it came out that it was the father of one of the boys in a specific group of trick or treaters? The ONLY ones to get the poison candy? He actually made the pixie stix and handed them to everyone but his son. Did you know that? No? Then, Google is your friend, not me. Literally takes 2 seconds.

@@chriscanfly6386 No candy being tampered with is absolutely correct because ITS THE PARENTS WHO TAMPER WITH THE CANDY NOT A FUCKING STRANGER TRYING TO KILL RANDOM TODDLERS!
This reminds me of the episode of The Goldbergs where the mom wanted to warn her kids about people tampering with the candy. So she decided to put razor blades in a candy bar to show her son but her husband accidentally gave the candy bar to someone and she had to go around taking kids candy to find it

The "drugs in candy" myth is definitely my favorite one of these. Imagine, you're dealing in illicit substances, potent _expensive_ shit, and you decide that the best market to open up for these is literal children with no financial power of their own and zero odds of being repeat clients. I'm sure Bobby, age 5, will be more than happy to steal his mom's credit card for another smack at them doped-up milk duds.
the parents just want candy
Dude I go to a store that sells drugs in candy and drinks.
I reckon they mean basically any harmful substance, whether or not it’s a drug or if it’s expensive ones you’d get from a dealer. Some people are just absolute disgusting human beings like that and will rest easy that night knowing that they poisoned and/or murdered a handful of children
In san Fransisco a gram of fentanyl is 10$ and the dealers in the tenderloin all try and be the first to break out their bag in order to give out a sample and to lock in the sale. An addict could ( and I've witnessed this personally) go from one corner to the next saying they need a sample and are going to go around the corner to shoot up and will be back to buy an amount. You couldn't do this frequently for a long period of time . But you could do it both shifts in a day. And meth is even cheaper...............,..it's out of control . I've seen addicts trick or treat for drugs all through the year. 😅
A few years back a kid got a little fucked up from a few tootsie rolls he had eaten. Fever, puking, was really out of it. When his mom took him in they did a bunch of tests before finding out he digested cocaine and then she took to Facebook. I know the guy who handed out those tootsie rolls, he had cocaine debris on his table that he poured the tootsie rolls on. He felt so bad about the situation he actually quit doing drugs and decided tootsie rolls aren't the candy to pass anymore.
i can definitely see a parent buying this for their kids and throwing out every single piece of candy because the ring on their finger is setting it off

@@chriscollinsmedia Google translate is Strange. Faxx to bandage
Dude with a friend in the candy industry here. Normally when someone finds a “razor blade” in their candy 9 times out of 10 it’s actually a metal shard that has broken off of a conveyor. This can happen with lots of stuff from canned goods to soft drinks though safety standards for that kind of contamination has become so good that it’s exceedingly rare (bugs on the other hand while still rare are more common). If you by chance do find a metal/wood/glass shard in a prepackaged consumable contact the company immediately along with any information on the batch if you can find it on the packaging. If they’re worth their salt they will immediately shut down that line until the problem is solved. It’s also considered good practice to send thanks in some form, normally via a coupon or in some cases an entire box of whatever you bought and/or similar goods (from a different batch/line of course.)
Edit: ancient comment I know but for the people talking about that Johnny Test episode, that’s actually based on a real trend from the 90’s to the early 2000’s where a LOT of people were faking damaged or contaminated goods to game the system and get free stuff. Of course it’s always happened before and since but for a while the behavior was so rampant that it made the national news.
This comment was the scariest part of this video.

If this was the main candy bucket your kid is carrying, and IF it actually ever went off, they're now staring face-to-face with someone who just gave them something dangerous. That seems...dangerous.
Yeah. At that point, the kids would have to deal with trying to escape or negotiate with a threatening person. Just like what some people have said in the comments section, you should just accompany your kids trick or treating on Halloween.
I think the real problem is the bucket is too small
I don't think any kids trick or treat alone so I doubt this would be a problem.
@@LycanKai14 how else does an alleged tampered piece of candy get in a bucket? I assumed kids walk door to door and at one of those doors, someone has tampered with the candy they are giving out. Normally, it goes in a bucket and becomes anonymous. But if it sets off an alarm as it goes in the bucket, it's not anonymous who did it. Parents are usually with kids true, but I have seen tons of parents wait at sidewalk distance while kids go up to doors. I'm just thinking worst case scenarios, someone looking to hurt children might act suddenly if an alarm goes off while they know they're doing something bad.
@@LycanKai14 Ah, you're right! I'm very sorry for upsetting you. Have a nicer day.
it’s funny how something like “checking your children’s candy” started as a joke for parents to eat candy, but has transformed into something that is a genuine fear for some 😂

@@Mandate_of_Heaven a lot of them are just self promoting-children trying to get their channel noticed.
We were talking about this in my socio class and for the case that happened in the 50’s, it was concluded that it was actually the parent who contaminated their children’s candy and was less of a “they’re poisoning our kids candy!” And more of a specific child abuse situation. The headlines were indeed fear mongering because the topic of child abuse began to rise and they realized that children were getting hurt but using media to highlight the wrong causes. Instead of realizing, “hey, parents are hurting their children”, they blame it on the candy
Meow
@@Retro80sMan1 yes, meow to you too
From what I've heard, that was deliberate: this was right around the time packaging candy for Halloween was actually practical ("fun size" Snickers, etc.) so the candy makers jumped on the poisoned kid story to try and promote their product. "All our candy is safely wrapped in plastic, no way the evil drug dealers could get their poison in these candies! Stop giving out those dangerous unprotected apples and invest in our candy instead!"
Didn't that parent kill his kids by doing that? Or am I thinking something else?
This is true. It was also a time where people didn’t want to believe abuse happened so they would make things bigger than what they needed to be so they could live in the fantasy, or they would quiet it down for the same effect.
The promise of drug laced candy had me trick or treating well into my teens. Between Halloween and the D.A.R.E. program I was under the impression I was going to encounter a lot more people trying to get me high.
yeah my parents eventually just told us that nobody's handing out drugs they could do or sell
D.A.R.E. was designed to get unwitting children to narc on people in their lives, and nothing more. That's why it's tied to police departments.

the 'poisoned candy' thing I believe got more mainstream after the Rondal O'Bryan case in 70's. Where Ronald's son died after eating cynide laced pixie sticks and Rondal claimed it was given to them by a mysterious man in one of the houses they've been at, and the police went into high gear and for days it was publicized that someone gave kids poisoned candy(four sticks were poisoned) and then it turned out that Ronald did it himself for insurance money he took on his two kids, and the other two pixie sticks he gave out were just a smoke screen to divert suspicion from him...bc if only his kids got the tampered candy then he'd be imidietly looked into into. So yeah, it was all just one shitty, greedy parent trying to off his own children and get away with it.
You are correct! This actually happened!
This was the story I was thinking about what absolute evil man

Why couldn't you just not eat the candy yet go home and first cut the chocolate candy in half to check if there is any razor blade in it, you seriously don't need that mechanized bucket that can only detect one candy.
They really blasted the opportunity to call this a "boocket"
"Glorbus the Boo-ket", I love it
I think another thing people aren’t aware of is the fact if you as a parent might be wearing a ring or something metallic in your halloween costume could easily trigger a false positive, making you search through a whole bowl of candy for nothing.
dosent even have to be from a costume, just a ring you normally wear.

In Australia a few years back we actually had cases of people putting sewing needles in strawberries & there was a mass panic about that for a bit. Not during Halloween or anything just someone working in the stores was sticking them in & it was fkin terrifying.
I’m in the states and we had an issue with the needles too. There was someone putting them in cookies at some of our grocery stores for whatever reason. Weird stuff
@@KimberRose16 now we have to check every cookie from now on until the culprit is in the slammer
Fellow Aussie here looking for this comment 🫡
@@KimberRose16 I’m pretty sure there was a incident in which a undertale fan artist was targeted and someone gave them a cookie that had a needle
I'm not going to say that that's not unpleasant, but it sounds like you'd notice that either in preparing the fruit or in eating it. If a person bit into a strawberry that had a needle in it they would definitely notice that something was wrong, or if they were slicing an orange then the knife skipping off of metal would be a dead giveaway.
Still super unpleasant for sure to bite into a needle and it is entirely unhinged to put needles into food for the sake of wanton destruction but the odds of a needle doing medically significant damage seem low.
The bucket itself is actually pretty cute. If he would've made it just light up as opposed to detect metal, he could've slapped a $10 price tag on it & banked. Not to mention he wouldn't be being made fun of on the internet for his crafty little bucket. Win win
Yeah, it's a cute design and more decorative candy buckets have been a big thing in the past few years, one that lights up would definitely excite some kids.
the bucket looks like the flippin boo Mario from Mario galaxy
The few cases of candy tampering I've heard of all turned out to be the parents themselves trying to kill their kid or one of the kid's friends. Except in one case where a kid ate some of grandpa's hidden heroin and the parents laced the candy to cover for grandpa.
Yep I heard a sister left her son with her brother and he had accidentally dropped some oxies or something on the carpet and the kid dumped the candy out on the carpet, just four years old. I believe it was just an accident, though.

There was actually a Dad who poisoned his own family with pixie sticks back in the 70’s for insurance, but that is the only story I know of where a kid actually died and it was at the hands of his own father.
We took our daughter to trick or treat at my husband’s office at Microsoft. Our daughter always ended up with a bucket full of full-size candy bars because his coworkers went full out on Halloween. The offices were decorated and everyone dressed up. It was fun for the kids.
My favorite neighbors were always the ones who put in the effort to make cute little goodie bags for the kids 😭💕 a couple of my neighbors did that.
I know the case you were talking about, and the reason he purposely poisoned his son was for money.
He’d taken out a life insurance policy before the murder - and he had the gall to claim innocence when everyone figured out it was him up until he was executed.

My favourite thing is that the strange fear of parents scared people are gonna poison or tamper with their children’s candy comes from a dad who tried to cover it up by doing it to his own kid and then blaming some strangers candy. The last 20-30 years have objectively been the safest time ever to raise kids but parents are still incredibly neurotic.
kinda disagree with the "safest time to raise kids" bc tik tok and youtube kids are a thing so as long as you keep them away from the internet at a young age yeah then its safe but if your a parent who y'know lets the internet practically babysit your child then theres gonna be some problems but i get what your saying
-objectively
I'm not sure you know what that word means
Was about to post the same, the rare few times this has actually happened, the candy always gets traced back to a family member.
The bucket wasn't a bad idea a a scam, you get some money from of out of touch parents, and the suckers get the illusion of doing something.
But you need to advertise it directly to the parents. Should've hired someone who knows how to market.
Yep. I’ve heard about more school shootings recently than back then, but I’m sure that this is objectively the safest time to raise a kid.
Might as well equip the bucket with a computer and trackers you can place on houses so you can track which pieces of candy came from who to orbital strike all those who give out the most evil and dangerous treats.

All you have to do is dump out half the bucket, and if the a.arm doesn't go off, you know all of that candy is safe. Or, if it does go off you can test that pile in smaller groups.

@@commander8625 Yeah, dude. Lemme just dump out half of my candy onto the ground while I’m out Trick or Treating and then when it inevitably sounds off the alarm, I’ll have to put each one back into the bucket one at a time anyway to single out which one is the problem candy. Real great and well thought out solution you came up with. And that’s just assuming there’s only a single problem candy. There’s always a chance that there was more than one in that handful that got dumped in, so you can’t even just stop once the bucket sounds the alarm. You’d need to test every single one in the group that sounded off the alarm to make sure you’re safe, unless you want to just throw them all back in at the same time and hope that there wasn’t another one in that group. Otherwise, you’ll have to repeat the entire process all over again.
You know what would be a better solution? Just carrying a second bucket/bag to transfer the good candy into as you get them. That way, when the alarm totally goes off on the bucket, there would never be that much to have to deal with in there. Even if you get a handful at a time.

Your dad has good taste
he took the banana taffy he did you a favor
Left Twix is better anyways
-Banana Laffy Taffy
Did your dad also hand out apples on halloween?
He took all the red Starburts?

As a side note. It's strange that crazy people haven't really done this to a large extent after hearing urban legends. Good for them.
yeah, telling your teens who are giving out the candy instead of trick or treating will probably make them want to do it to be cool
Don't jinx it
I find it funny how Charlie said “there’s no way of knowing without opening each candy individually” but you could just go home and test each candy individually by putting them through the bucket again lmfao💀
That's what I'm saying.
Lmao literally 😂
Or just buy a a regular bucket a metal detector wand for like less than half of the bucket and just give it a pass when you get home, it's still a really dumb product
Okay who the fuck has access to a wrapping machine that can re-wrap candy perfectly to make it look like an official product anyway? There was always fear mongering about this but I never once heard of it actually happening.
Yeah but then you don't know which house the candy was from and can't report them and if you're just gonna do that then theres cheaper ways of doing it than getting this bucket
I like how Charlie will mostly make videos about internet drama, but then he just randomly hates on a kid’s bucket. Truly a legend

There was a case a few years ago where a dad put rat poison in his kids pixie sticks and was using the hysteria of tampered Halloween candy to try to build an alibi, I can't remember if it was his son or his daughter but one of the kids actually died, he also handed out a few other tampered pixie sticks to the neighbors kids but fortunately his kid was the only one who actually ate any
It happened in Houston Texas in 1974, the man was named Ronald Clark O'Bryan, also known as The Candy Man and The Man Who Ruined Halloween. He killed his 8 year old son named Timothy and tried to kill his other kid a 5 year old daughter named Elizabeth and three other kids (children of his neighbors and friends) to disguised the killing. Only his son ate his since his daughter was super sleepy and went to bed immediately. His son complained his stomach hurt very much and as he was vomiting and convulsing in the bathroom, he went limp in his dad’s arms. Timothy died on the way to the hospital, in most likely horrible pain.😢
The other kids didn’t eat theirs but one kid almost did but couldn’t open the stick due to the staples and instead fell asleep with the poisoned candy in his hands.
Ronald was in massive debt of over $100,000 at the time due to him not being able to hold down a job (he had over 21 jobs in 10 yrs and at the time of the murder he was about to be fired from his at the current job he was being investigated for theft). He had taken multiple life insurances on his two kids, ranging from 10,000 to 20,000 on each kid, and planed to cover his debt and take a long vacation and buying new stuff with the money. Apparently Ronald planned this months in advance and bought the potassium cyanide the day before Halloween and put in his son’s pixie stick enough poison to kill 2 grown men and the other 4 sticks enough to kill 3 or 4 men.
He try to use the famous myth of a psychopath poisoning candy but it fell apart when he couldn’t identify the “neighbor” who gave the candy and when he did point out the house he supposedly got the candies from, the actual homeowner wasn’t at home at the time since he was at work which was confirmed by his coworkers. Plus the kids all said they were given the pixie sticks by Ronald before even going trick and treating. Plus his wife said after coming home and dropping the neighbors kids off, he was very adamant their kids eat the pixie sticks before going to bed. Plus immediately the day his son has died he collected the insurance company to take out the money from the multiple policies and at his son’s funeral bragged to family that he couldn’t wait to use the money for a vacation.
When arrested he was adamant that he was innocent and loved his kids, that it was a “crazed poisoner” who did it. He was given the death penalty and was executed by lethal injection and still saying he was innocent despite the huge evidence against him. O'Bryan was shunned and despised by his fellow death row inmates for killing his child and was "absolutely friendless". The inmates reportedly petitioned to hold an organized demonstration on O'Bryan's execution date to express their hatred of him. He was put in solitary confinement for his own safety I think due to the other inmates threatening violence towards him.
Also I think he was the first man in Texas to be executed by lethal injection and his last words were, "What is about to transpire in a few moments is wrong! However, we as human beings do make mistakes and errors. This execution is one of those wrongs yet doesn’t mean our whole system of justice is wrong. Therefore, I would forgive all who have taken part in any way in my death. Also, to anyone I have offended in any way during my 39 years, I pray and ask your forgiveness, just as I forgive anyone who offended me in any way. And I pray and ask God’s forgiveness for all of us respectively as human beings. To my loved ones, I extend my undying love. To those close to me, know in your hearts I love you one and all. God bless you all and may God’s best blessings be always yours. Ronald C. O’Bryan P.S. During my time here, I have been treated well by all T.D.C. personnel."
Also during his execution a crowd of 300 demonstrators gathered outside the prison cheered while some yelled "Trick or treat!". Others showered anti-death penalty demonstrators with candy. His wife claimed she didn’t know anything but his plans so wasn’t charged with anything and quickly divorced him after he was sentenced.
@@Krystal40553 This dude deserved everything that happened to him and more.
@@Krystal40553I was looking for this story! That's what I thought of when he said it doesn't happen. I coulda done without the description of the kid dying but you made up for it by giving me the palate cleanser of him being a miserable fuck up until he died. Damn very detailed man.
@@icephoenix174 Well I live in Texas and I’m fascinated by true crime, and I was highly interested in this case since it’s close to me and supposedly he was the man who started or revitalize the poisoned candy myth since during the initial investigation the whole city was in fear there was a crazy man poisoning candy and I think most families sent their candies to the police to check for poison or threw them away. I think even the company of Pixies Sticks delt with some losses due to the paranoia. It’s detailed as I was checking other websites to make sure I was getting the facts correctly as I know so much on top of my head. I apologize for adding the death of the kid as it was reported in the autopsy reports, by Ronald and his wife’s testimony but to show how evil this man is as he was there watching what was happening and comforting his son while he did this to him, I can’t help but feel he probably got some sick joy watching what was happening. It’s really sad and tragic but I’m glad Timothy got justice and Ronald died alone and possibly in fear as he is hated by his community and by other death row inmates for his crime.
I'm so sorry about this, I'll talk to this bucket about it. I'll keep yall updated on what he says.
Edit: He says that he will start putting bombs in candy. Us at Bucket Inc will keep a close eye on him.

Thank you Mr. Bucket Lord.
Theres also the fact that at least from personal experience, most Halloween candy thats given out is the usual store bought small and/or pre-packaged candy, so if it had been opened at any point then even the kids would notice as theres no easy way to seal it back up
6:20 good point charlie. There’s also the fact that if the bucket gets popular, everyone would know about it and people would know which bucket to give the metallic candy to.
You don't need to break any candy if there's a handfull dropped in at once. You can just take them out and drop them back in individually. But I also see a major flaw that has gone unnoticed: what if the candy has those metal foil wrappers that set off the detector?
Or what if the person giving candy has metal rings or bracelets and gets a little too close?
Could be rare but what if someone was giving away treat bags that included a toy that had any trace of metal in it, however ideally safe and not sharp/a choking hazard?
Exactly, I was about to say this. Just dump them on a table and drop them in the bucket one at a time.

Well you don't have to open all of the candy, you could just use the bucket to find out which one again.
Here in Australia there was an incident where someone working at a fruit farm was hiding sewing needles in strawberries and a few people found out the hard way and now I’m terrified of strawberries
I think I remember hearing about that, or something similar happening at some farm in America. Either way, the story I heard died within a day and hasn't been spoken of since. Meanwhile this legend of razorblades in candy is mentioned every year for a full week or two.
Are you terrified of cars too? People actually die from those every single day. What about planes? They’ve crashed before. What an irrational stupid fear. The odds of that happening are less likely than dying in a plane crash.

This tainted candy thing sounds like a very, very old school throwback. I remember my Grandma who was from WV used to obsessively check to make sure the house was locked up tight. 'Or the Gypsies would break in'. No matter how hard we tried to tell Granny there was like no Roma population around for hundreds of miles she was on full Star Trek Red Alert for Gypsies until the day she died. Apparently whenever anything bad or unexplained happened in the region she grew up in people blamed it on mysterious, unseen bands of Roma. Even though even back then there was no Roma people in that area 'the Gypsies did it'. It's this irrational paranoia of 'the other'.

On top of this product idea being based on a myth/scare tactic, I'd also have to wonder how accurate you'd be able to make the metal detector in the rim while keeping costs down.
After all, Hershey's Kisses, Reese's Mini PB cups, and countless dollar store chocolates come wrapped in metallic foil.
Last Halloween I nearly died after nearly swallowing a candy corn that had a machete imbedded in it. This bucket is revolutionary, I will buy stock right now!
I had a similar experience! Where I was opening up a tootsie roll and when I was taking a bite I noticed a 12 Gauge Mossberg 500 was lodged in it. Some real scary stuff! Buying my bucket now.
This is like if someone looked at those fake stories about finding drugs disguised as candy, and decided to make a bucket that automatically calls the cops with the offenders location if it senses any drugs in it
6:50 you could just take out the ones you just put in 1 by 1 to see which one beeps

You don't need to go through/open each piece of candy; you just need to empty the bucket & refill it one by one until it goes off again.

I wonder about the panic that could be caused by a twisty tie on those goody bags that some people premake to hand out, like how some houses do that for allergic kids? Because the tie has a metal wire in it and they’re pretty common
The only thing we've ever checked for at my house is expiration dates and open packaging, which are things you really should look for. They're easily missed, and a very real threat to your health. I've had both multiple times in my candy bags.
This was my conclusion too. I wouldn’t be openly looking for razor blades in candy. But if something felt off about a wrapper, whether it be sealed weirdly or obviously resealed it was out.
And expiration dates are an immediate no.
Idk I've had 14 year old chocolate before, it wasn't too bad.

Australia had something similar but not a Halloween thing, we had people sticking pins in strawberries at the shopping centres just because, I'm fairly positive atleast one person was charged for it. Turned into a big deal for like 3 months
It probably could've been a successful idea a whole decade ago. Back when the razor scare was at a peak, and Halloween was actually a thing for kids.
@Wynn trust me, with the cultural indifference to halloween, concerns of safety, the advent of internet social activity, and the pandemic, young parents don't bother taking kids to halloween anymore. Also, it's just sad trick or treating as an adult, stop that.
@@BubbyBoy it must be a sad shallow life to not let others enjoy themselves in a way that harms literally no one.
@Jacob no one's stopping you from chaperoning another kid on their trick of treat night, or handing out candy to other kids.
Dressing up as an adult for the sole purpose of demanding candy from other adults is just sad. Buy the candy at a store if you really want it.
@Jacob and if you want to dress up for the occasion, there's costume parties, street parades and cosplay contests. Nothing is stopping you from enjoying the individual aspects of Halloween.
The candy boogeyman was invented so parents can have an excuse to go through their kids candies and take the best ones for themselves 😂
Or for one of the parents to take insurance money by lacing pixie sticks with cyanide.
Parents can do that with anything and still teach a lesson… just call it a “tax”.
6:12 you can just pass each individual candy out of the bag to tell which one has it
I love how Charlie's first complaint about this bucket is the inconvenience of searching for a razor blade through all the candy and ruining the other candy, like attempted murder doesn't take precedent over the sweets.
Props to Charlie for reviewing Halloween products in March.

@@Mandate_of_Heavenwhat
For anyone interested in the subject I believe the podcast Decoding the Unknown, which is focused on debunking conspiracy theories and urban legends, covered the topic. They went through the 3 actual cases of kids dying from halloween candy and in all 3 cases it was actually the family's fault. Hell, in one case it was a murder to commit insurance fraud
edit: Also Charlie does have a funny "small brain" moment here. "Oh if they drop a handful of candy in now you have to open them all one by one to check!" or you could just pick that handful up and drop them back in one at a time till it buzzes again
@Malayna Petersen im sure the bucket can pick up on multiple passes of the same 'dangerous' object, if it were present. Just take out the top most candy dumped in, and toss it back in one at a time. Repeat until kazoo fanfare plays
@Malayna Petersen if you JUST put them in, they'll be on top
Yeah, I heard about the dad who put something in his kids pixie sticks to kill them
@@hithisthers7214 and then when that dad went to prison, his own death row inmates hated him for murdering a child :X it's a pretty interesting story if anyone wants to look it up
@@hithisthers7214 yup that one makes up the bulk of the episode actually
Back in 2013 in my city, Huntington Beach, I remember hearing about a kid I knew having gotten Halloween candy laced with methanphetamine. He ended up being fine after the fact, and this is the only real case I could think of when it comes to this.
I mean you wouldn’t have to open and inspect each piece of candy, you could just send each piece through the bucket again to find the one with metal in it. C’mon Charlie, 2 seconds of thought here lol
It's still a bad idea though. Some stranger decides to attempt to have children swallow sharp objects. As soon as they give the candy immediately the bucket alerts metal is inside. They'd probably freak out and scream about it on the porch. That's still attempted man slaughter to children even if it's never eaten. And most kids don't go with their parents to houses since it's lame in their eyes. They'd be very inclined to do something worse and not let the kids go back to their parents right there on the porch with a weapon to not get jail time.
Assuming that this invisible threat actually happened of course. In real life this would just be an expensive bucket that never needs it's main function besides an older sibling pranking the younger one into giving all their candy
That’s what I came here to say. You don’t have to open anything to recreate the honk 😂
I can see that thing going off each time a chocolate eye ball/ghost wrapped in foil will set it off and give a false indication of tampered candy
@@cottonycoyote True. So yea in that instance where you have multiple candies wrapped in foil ig you would have to unwrap them and send them through, making Charlie right. Fortunately though, most candy wrapped in foil sucks anyway so nothing of value was lost 👍

I got drugged by an old man. He put crushed up benadryl in the candy he was handing out.
My baby cousin and I were attacked by a dog that I sadly had to kick in the mouth to keep it from biting my baby cousin.
I got attacked by a man in a clown costume and I beat his ass into the dirt in front of my baby cousin, her friend, and the man's girlfriend.
Dude dressed up like Leatherface picked a friend of mine off the ground and threw him onto a rock, knocking the wind out of him. I had borrowed my grandpa's axe for my costume so I was swinging that thing like crazy and was able to chase off the dude.

Also he's literally showing the research that you're wondering about. There are literally only 3 cases of halloween candies tampered with so far, and one of those was an actual homicide the kid's dad did to collect insurance.
@@EveTheRaviolo that isn’t true, there are 3 cases of kids getting injured or dying, that’s all. there are hundreds of cases of candy being tampered with. i think there were a few instances just in ohio a couple years ago of sewing needles in candy-if you simply search it up, past all the opinion articles talking about the myth, you can find recent police reports and such. i’m sure a lot of them were people looking for attention, but let’s not pretend it never happens, or that nobody should bother checking candy. i live in canada, there’s been a couple cases in calgary, iqaluit, and a few in alberta. again, isn’t a widespread thing, but still-it happens, and police urge parents to check halloween candy every year. if anything, checking candy is great cause you’d probably throw away anything with a broken wrapper that could’ve been contaminated w germs or gone bad :^) as long as we don’t fearmonger, it’s reasonable to be cautious
@@EveTheRaviolo oo also as for the drugs, you’d be surprised how many people will drug someone just for the knowledge that they will be seriously harmed or have an absolute shit night. date rape drugs are often used as ‘pranks’ on absolute strangers(strange word for that situation, but it’s what the experts use.) some people just want to know they’re hurting people, and that’s enough. i’ve experienced it myself, somebody put something in both me and my boyfriend’s drink, knowing full well there would be no interaction between us, just to know 2 strangers were suffering. of course, no need to believe my stories, you can do some research. maybe canada’s got more villains that america, hah.
When you get home just open the candy carefully and make sure theres nothing in it. That's why I don't go trick or treating because it's too stressful thinking about this

What is a sweet grandma gives you a hand full of candy and her ring passes the rim, that would be so sad scaring a unknowing grandma
"This is a bucket" "Dear god." "There's more" "No.."
I think the closest to tampering sweets is when we covered Brussels sprouts in chocolate and put them into ferrero rocher packets 😅
That’s evil
Calm the fuck down, Satan!
Chocolate charred brussel sprouts don't sound to bad
I would slug you if you did that to me. Disguising one of the best chocolates ever as something as nasty as Brussels sprouts? You deserve to get slugged.
@@phantompop3192 I think that’s the best compliment I have ever had
Charlie's gotta be one of the only youtuber's that actually dedicate a video to ranting about a bucket
showing news about the *girl cuts mouth* while a *very generic happy background music* is playing in the background makes the ad campaign the most legendary and greatest pitch of All Time
