Check your kid’s candy for San Jose scares

You never know what they’ll find.

Pictures of a parking violation, San Francisco with a "#1" on it, and screenshot of a "There's nothing to do in San Jose tbh" text photoshopped inside candy bars.

Gives us chills just thinking about these.

Be safe out there, parents, and make sure to do a candy check this Halloween. 🍫

For instance, we found several things us San Joseans can’t bear to see in these chocolate bars:

  • Parking citations
  • People saying SF is the #1 Bay Area city
  • The thought that there’s nothing to do in the great 408 (we know better)

Scary stuff. Okay, yeah, we know this is a returning meme, and maybe we spend wayyy too much time on the Internet, but still... safety first.

Have you found any San Jose-specific potential poisons in your treats this year? If so, drop us a line. No more tricks, we promise. 🎃
