As you may or may not know, Halloween is celebrated on the 31st October each year. Traditionally this is an American holiday but slowly other countries such as Australia are starting to join in the fun of Halloween. Many people hold parties and go trick or treating where they dress up and roam the neighborhood knocking on doors. Traditionally the children are given lollies and other nice surprises but on researching I actually came across a really interesting piece of information about trick or treating.

This is directly from Wikipedia:

At one time, candy apples were commonly given to children, but the practice rapidly waned in the wake of widespread rumors that some individuals were embedding items like pins and razor blades in the apples. While there is evidence of such incidents, they are quite rare and have never resulted in serious injury. Nonetheless, many parents assumed that such heinous practices were rampant because of the mass media. At the peak of the hysteria, some hospitals offered free X-rays of children’s Halloween hauls in order to find evidence of tampering. Virtually all of the few known candy poisoning incidents involved parents who poisoned their own children’s candy.
