Langley resident finds pin in nieces’s Halloween candy

It’s a reminder to check the candy your kids brought home from Halloween trick-or-treating yesterday.

Langley resident Tanya Verbeek says her brother-in-law found a pin in her nieces’s KitKat bar.

The family went trick-or-treating in Surrey, but it was not until they came home that they found the pin.

“My [brother-in-law] was kind of rifling through [the candy] to have a small snack,” says Verbeek, “when he saw a small hole in the wrapper, and when he opened it further, he found the pin.”

She says it looks like a sewing pin. “It looks like somebody tried to push it in and then hand it out,” she says.

As Verbeek’s niece is not even two-years-old, she says the family is even more shocked.

“Especially since she’s so young, maybe an older kid would have noticed, but she would put anything in her mouth,” she says.

Verbeek’s brother-in-law did call the non-emergency line this morning, but was told since they do not know what house the candy came from, police cannot pursue the matter further.

It is not known if the pin was put in the candy deliberately, but Verbeek just wants to caution other parents and caregivers to check the candy before their kids devour it.

thats fucked up... but its even more fucked up for someone to eat a kit kat vertically.

It's candy from Surrey, what do you expect?

[JaPoola]

Surrey "candy" is not actually candy

[Matlock]

I don't understand the reasoning as to why anyone would do something like that.
It doesn't accomplish anything and there would be nothing to gain other than to potentially hurt an innocent child.

It just makes me so mad. The things I could do to a sick bastard like that.

Looks like a full-sized kitkat. As a kid I know I certainly made note of which houses gave out full-sized candybars, which ones gave crap like toothbrushes, which didn't answer, etc Pretty risky of the person responsible to use such a standout treat. That is unless times have changed and full-sized is the norm.

Looks like a full-sized kitkat.

It's only as wide as two fingers, looks like Halloween size to me.

[Bouncing Bettys]

^ah ok, didn't even see the hand holding it. So its the fun size or the full-sized held by a giant.

[MG1]

two fingers as in two pieces............


Also, who doesn't eat Kit Kats vertically? Do you nibble on them from the sides?


Something doesn't look right with that photo.......... anyway.

[matrixfwd]

I think that he thought it was a full size, and so he thought the person was strange to eat it without breaking off the pieces first and just chomping off vertically like it was a big cookie.

If it were me, I'd be in big trouble. I'd tear the wrapper from end to end then pop the whole thing into my mouth and chomp on it. Good thing dude saw the tiny hole first.

Time to get out the metal detectors...........

This thread is making me crave for chocolates.

OOOOOh! are you attributing that everyone in Surrey put pins in their candies to give to children?

How Dare YOU! you are a terrible !

[dinosaur]

I bet they will find that the story was made up....just have a weird feeling about it.

[Matlock]

I remember maybe ten years ago, a little Asian girl died from poison in her candy. I think it was in East Van.

[GS8]

I always thought candy from Surrey was known as 'crack' ?

But, anyway, I wouldn't be surprised if this story is made up. This happens so rarely that it would be more common for someone to fake it just to reignite that old belief.

Also what's wrong with eating Kit Kat like corn on the cob? :suspicious:

[parm104]

Exactly, from the perspective of someone wanting to be malicious, it just doesn't make sense putting a bobby pin into chocolate. Whoever did it would've had to assume that people eat the candy without opening the wrapper because as soon as you open the wrapper, the pin was obvious.

Just seems to me like someone wanted to get a story out or be in a story.

[bcrdukes]

I swear, Canada Line, man.

It wouldn't be surprising.

I tend to think the perpetrator's a Christian attempting to disrupt/deter participation in Halloween. The view that Halloween's outright devil worship or at the least a subversion of values is not uncommon in Christian congregations. It would be effective. I don't doubt that this story on potentially dangerous candy will lead to some families not participating next year.

Personally, Halloween's my favourite holiday. I'll always participate.

Reasons why halloween is the best holiday:

-you are not obliged to visit your relatives
-you are not obliged to get gifts for anyone
-people will give you candy for absolutely no reason other than halloween
-its the only day when its socially acceptable to go out in public dressed like a penguin

[bloodmack]

uhm.. its totally socially acceptable to go out in public dressed like a penguin.. all times of the year.. christmas? dress like a penguin, st.patricks day? dress like a green penguin!

I'll add.

-it's artistic; making costumes, carving pumpkins.
-it's communalism in an individualism driven society.
-it's secular.
-it's acceptable to light fireworks.
-it's not overly corporate, a la valentines day, st. patrick's day, and easter.

Yeah, I thought so too until I walked by the "Halloween Cards" section at the grocery store :/

I fear it may become more corporate....like, who the fuck sends a halloween card?!

The corporations will attempt to encroach on Halloween, but they will never succeed. "Who the fuck sends a Halloween card?!;" the obvious answer, no one, and no one ever will.

For some reason this post reminded of a story...

A few years back it was Easter....I was living with my boyfriend at the time and my mom gives me a call. The thing about my mom is that from time to time she would (and still does) forget that I was/am a functioning adult who pays bills, owns a house, has a career, etc. So, mom decides that she needs to call me to "remind" me to "dress up" for Easter dinner. I don't know why she felt the need to go out of her was to phone her 24 year old daughter and remind her not to dress like a fucking slob for a special family dinner (you should note that never ever EVER have a dressed anything but appropriate for a family dinner). I said "ummm, okay" and we ended the convo.

Needless to say, she was not impressed when I showed up in my halloween bat costume for Easter dinner. The rest of the family got a kick out of it :)

She hasn't phoned me since to remind me to "dress up".

[Minata]

There were always stories like these even back when I was a kid. Didn't stop me from trick or treating!
