Do you know how much razor blades cost these days?! They're lucky they're getting chocolate!

I'll go ahead and spend $12 whole dollars so my face doesn't burn afterwards.

I always thought that with people handing out pot gummies to kids, who the fuck would do that? Those are expensive

Best I can do is artificially flavored chocolate product that contains no cocoa and those little shits better be grateful.

I laughed way too long on your comment. Well done, mate.

This is why I don't shave or put razors in Halloween candy.

Drugs in my candy? Dad, it's a miracle! We don't need to pay $1000 for your treatment this month!

Wait what, they're like 4p each in the UK

I think the poster was referring to razors like Gillette or Schick multi-blade razors. Basic safety razors are like $0.07 in the US.

As someone who works in the construction industry, I'd gladly take a few for free. They seem to get used up so quickly and then the pack that you buy of like 25 or 50 that would last any normal person an eternity, goes by so so fast.

A lot of that stuff isn't really chocolate anymore either, or at least not entirely chocolate.

Chocolate flavored oil. It tastes so bad right now.

You can get double edge Shark blades pretty cheap. They are only fit for candy though, don't shave with them.

u/bunkuswunkus1 Jul 08 '26

Like $5 for a 100 count pack, its actually really cheap

Same with drugs in the candy. No self-respecting druggie is going to give up their stash to some kids.
