Sleeping with a fan on will kill you, if you are Korean.

[A Black Falcon]

Every single year parents everywhere will be warned to "check your kid's halloween candy" (with no instruction as to what to even look for) because of that weird fear of needles or razor blades stuffed inside candy apples and stuff. Not a single case of this has ever happened, but every year the news acts like it does without siting a single specific checkable example. I mean there haven't even been copycat cases imitating the legend.

As a result, home made candy is taboo now, and that sucks. I like chocolate popcorn balls and DECENT rice crispy treats.

Well, what I always heard was that this one time somewhere some kid found a needle or something in some candy at Halloween, that had been put there by someone they knew (a relative or something with ill intent probably, I don't quite remember), and that was the origin of the whole thing... even that could have been an urban legend though, so yeah. It's pretty stupid.
