Halloween is upon us. Trick or Treating is the main attraction for people who love Halloween. Dressing up in a costume of your choice and going door-to-door to get some delicious candy of all kinds. Chocolate bars, caramels and lollipops, just to name a few items that children love to get. However, there have been some more dangerous and disappointing items trick or treater’s have got from people. Here are the top ten most strange items found in kid’s Halloween candy.
10. Nails and Staples
In Spokane, WA, a woman noticed that his son’s friend bit into the candy and got poked with the nail – not causing a lot of harm. Nails, watch parts and even staples were found inside the remaining candy.

A shard of glass was found in a tootsie roll in Buffalo, NY. A woman found it while celebrating Beggar’s night, also known as Trick of Treating, with her family. Beggar’s night is the same thing as Trick or Treating. Glass isn’t something you’d like to find in candy.

There have been a ton of talk of if anyone has actually been poisoned from Halloween candy given by other people. There was a specific case where kids where poisoned from eating Pixy Stix. Cyanide was inside of them; that was planted by their father for financial reasons – not an outside source. However, poison is on this list for obvious reasons as it such an easy thing to put into candy without people noticing it; poison is also extremely dangerous as well.
