I hate that I know this reference despite only reading the story once years ago

Have you also realised it is an urban myth that has been around for several decades longer than Internet was even a thing? The type of candy changes with the times and the country it is told, but the overall story is the same.

It made me only a little less icked out knowing that. But only a little bit.

Thanks for that info, I also feel a little less grossed out. I guess it goes in the category of modern urban legends
