BURLINGTON, VT — Burlington Police Department warns public about dangerous foreign objects found in Halloween candy this year.
“Trick or Treat!” a young child dressed in a hot pink inflatable Among Us crewmate costume screams. Looking up at a silhouetted figure with candy bucket in hand standing in a doorway, a warm light coming from inside washing them of their chill from the October night outside, the child is excited for the candy they are about to receive. This child was placed in intensive care later that night after ingesting a box of Nerds coated in MDMA.
The child experienced no long-term effects aside from a sudden interest in hardstyle EDM, but reported feeling “fucking amazing” while in the hospital and begged nurses for Vick’s Vaporub to put under his nose. The next day, the child cried for 6 hours straight.
Foolish children automatically assume they will be given a treat, but few consider they may be receiving a trick instead. Thankfully, the child above was given a super cool and very fun drug– other costume-clad children were not so lucky.
The Burlington Police Department has issued a public warning following Halloween this year, announcing a list of calls to 911 reporting foreign objects found in candy. The announcement in full can be found below:

Water Tower News echoes this warning, as many of our staff writers experienced dangerous run-ins with a number of the listed objects.
One WT writer bit into a yellow Starburst and was greeted with the entire knowledge of everything that ever has been or ever will be. They experienced the fullness of all of time in an instant, seeing the vastness of the universe and the trillions of sentient lifeforms that exist within it. They have been let go from the Water Tower as a result.
The Water Tower has a strict “No Divine Omniscience” policy, stemming from a belief that good journalism should be wildly reactionary, rife with half-truths, and a misrepresentation of any actual facts.
