Sticking my finger into the coin return of every pay phone

do you remember being told the urban legends about evil drug dealers putting "needles of drugs" in the coin return slots so you'd poke yourself checking for coins and "get high" and then "be addicted" so you'd have to buy from them? lmao

same place the urban legends about people putting "drug needles" into candybars on Halloween to hand out came from, I figure

I do remember that. Didn't stop me.

I was told not to eat candy that was damaged. Not the package, but the actual candy. So if an M&M had a chipped shell, I wouldnt eat it because "it could be poisoned".

Sounds like a "don't threaten me with good time" type of deal.

I think that logic didn't scare as much so they switched to the "HIV needles on gas pump handles and in the Burger King ball pit" stories.

...the ball pit thing might have actually happened like once?
