MASS HYSTERIA!

Anyone else remember the 80s/90s mass hysteria of when razor blades and needles were supposedly hidden everywhere? Canned goods, soda bottles, candy?! I had so much fear about this as a kid. I don't think the hysteria is boring old sharp objects anymore though, now it's just drugs.

I still have this random fear every now and again of finding a needle in a can of soda. Growing up in the 80s/90s was wild!
