I realize it’s satire but in reality what parent in their right mind would let their kid eat candy received from strangers in that city?

And I don’t care if it was factory sealed or not.....I’d just take the kid to Walmart and let ‘em pick out what they wanted.

OBTW, off topic but the best Halloween treat I ever got was homemade fresh chocolate cupcakes.....the lady made us stand on her porch and eat ‘em.....I’ll remember that for the rest of my days.....it was awesome to be a preteen in the 60s.

That's true of any city these days. I live in a semi-rural residential area that is overall pretty safe, but even so, I wouldn't take chances.

Moreover, I've stopped giving out stuff for Trick-or-Treat. Let it be known that whatever a kid might bring home, he/she didn't get it from my house, so if it turns out bad, it wasn't from me. That feels like crap, but it removes a non-zero risk.

It's a hell of a thing we've turned into.
