Free candy X-rays at hospitals or police stations was popular way back in the 1970s and 1980s, the practice has almost entirely faded away, and for good reason.
The practice became costly, medically inefficient, and fueled by myths. Traditional X-ray machines and fluoroscopes are designed to look for dense, metallic objects like pins or razor blades. They are entirely incapable of detecting liquid poisons, chemical tampering, or drugs
If you wish to pass along the following information to your grand children... It is wise to check any candy wrappers if opened, partially opened, have pin holes, or damaged wrappers. Including any candy that is not made by a "known candy maker"... do a web search to confirm.
