When I was a kid and came home from trick-or-treating with a pillowcase full of candy, my Mom would make me dump it all out on the living room floor.
Then she checked the pile for “unsafe” candy, which she would then take.
I’m pretty sure “unsafe” was really her code word for candy she liked.
Thanks for reading and responding. You make it fun.

“Sorry, son, waaaay too much chocolate content in this bar!”
Haha! I remember that too… the candy checks from my childhood — to make sure there weren’t pins in the candy? Egads. As a parent I never once worried about that.
