It wasn't just your mom, and they knew that shit was fake when they did it. They were using it as an excuse to take your best candy for themselves.

She actually never took any candy, it just wasn’t her thing. She’s always been a very scared and paranoid person who honestly believed any moral panic/hoax that she either saw on TV, heard from a friend, or got in a 2000’s style chain email forward.

My entire childhood was a constant stream of “no you can’t do that because it’s dangerous because I heard that….” that people were hiding in the parking lot of Wal-Marts all across the country with a bottle of “perfume” that they would jump out and spray you with. But really it was some chemical that would make you pass out, so then they could kidnap you and rape you.

I am not making that up and she was still saying it around 10 years ago, when I was like yeah we need to maybe not talk/visit as much.
