You just came home from trick-or-treating. You pour out your candy all over the floor, looking over your hoard. "Now, now, eat something healthy first. How about that apple Mr. Hick gave you?" Sighing, you take a bite into the apple, only to discover that there's something painful in your bite! You spit it out to discover that the apple's full of razor blades! A trope common in Urban Legends, this is when someone puts something sharp, pointy, or just unpleasant into someone's food. Common objects to put in are pins, needles, and razor blades. Note that this is not just for Halloween candy; this applies to all foods equally, but gifts tend to be prevalent. Named for one of the major examples: apples filled with razor blades. Not to be confused with the giant, kid-crushing apples/cherries/some sort of killer fruit of the rose family in I Wanna Be the Guy. For when this trope is used to sneak dangerous objects to people with no intention of consuming the food item, it's Jail Bake. It should be noted that there has never been a recorded straight instance of this happening; the World War II example below aside, it is entirely an Urban Legend. There are documented cases of persons attempting to invoke this trope, however. Compare the Super-Trope, Tampering with Food and Drink, as well as Revenge Is a Dish Best Served, where the altered food is intended for someone specific instead of being distributed For the Evulz. |

The Binding of Isaac: The "Apple!" item - added in the Afterbirth†DLC for the remake - is one of these. It stains Isaac's mouth a clear blood-red, gives him a tears up from the injury and occasionally lets him spit out an extra-damaging razor instead of a tear. Besides this, one of the between floor nightmare intermissions involves Isaac eating a piece of candy, only to vomit up a large amount of blood and a razor. | |

In the second episode of Chucky, a flashback shows a young Charles Lee Ray finding an apple with a very obvious razor blade in it among his Halloween treats. He takes a bite out of it anyway and smiles as blood pours from his mouth. Later on, Chucky gives a clueless lady another such apple as "thanks" for giving him the information he needed. Next time we see her, she is bleeding profusely from her mouth as she reports the "horrible red-haired child" to the cops. | |

The Simpsons: "Treehouse of Horror X" has the police x-raying the kids Halloween candy and finding razors, syringes, and...white chocolate, to which Chief Wiggum cringes at in disgust. "Round Springfield" has a metallic piece of cereal (which also has sharp, jagged edges) in Bart's Krusty-Os. A particularly nasty case of appendicitis results. The opening segment of "Treehouse of Horror XXVIII" has the Simpsons as living candy waiting to be eaten for Halloween. Lisa (who's an apple) complains nobody picks her because there might be a razor blade in her. Bart agrees that's the only reason an apple is left in a candy bowl. |

Ib: The story book Carrie Careless and the Galette des Rois tells of one particularly nasty subversion, where it isn't the eponymous Carrie swallowing/biting down on the object that is painful or deadly, but rather Carrie's best friend having to cut the object - actually a misplaced key - out of her stomach as the story's horrific conclusion. It's even creepier than it sounds. | |

In Candyman, during her first exploration of the "shrine" to Candyman at Cabrini Green, Helen finds a small heap of chocolates on the floor; one of them is found to contain a razor blade. In the 2021 sequel, the odd but kindhearted Sherman Fields, who delivers candy to children, is accused of adding razorblades after a white girl becomes a victim of one. Sherman, a Black man, is murdered by the officers who come to arrest him. He's exonerated when the razors continue to be distributed, but Sherman ends up becoming part of the Candyman legend and Candyman takes his form often. |

In the first arc of Higurashi: When They Cry, Rena and Mion give Keiichi a box of rice balls. The first one he bites into contains a sewing needle which draws a small amount of blood. The sixth arc reveals some more about this: There wasn't really a needle, and the "blood" was Tabasco sauce. Keiichi's escalating paranoia has started screwing with his (and the viewer's) perceptions, causing a hallucination based on a horror movie he saw. | |

In the Monk episode "Mr. Monk Goes Home Again", Paul Gilstrap planned to use poisoned Neptune candy bars to cover the murder of his wife. Unfortunately, his employer caught him putting the poison back, which meant that the police would connect him to any tetrachlorodrine poisoning deaths, and he had to get all of the candy bars he had poisoned out of circulation. He failed to get one from an armored car driver who had purchased it and already taken a bite. Since Gilstrap knew that the poison was quick-acting, he caught up to the driver just before he collapsed from the poisoning. Gilstrap then grabbed the dying driver's gun and shot him five times at point-blank range, thinking the police would not do a toxicology on a shooting victim. Except Adrian finds a dead pigeon outside Gilstrap's house hours later while trick-or-treating with Julie. | |

In an attempt to prove himself stronger than Sanji, Zoro states that if Sanji (the Team Chef) put blades and poison in his (Zoro's) food, he would be able to eat it without problems. Word of God is that Sanji actually did it, and Zoro did eat it without problems. Much earlier, Doc Q of the Blackbeard Pirates gets his Establishing Character Moment by offering apples to random people... and most of the apples contains a deadly explosive. |

Halloween: In Halloween II (1981), a trick-or-treater and his mom are shown arriving at the emergency room of the hospital where the action of the film takes place. The boy has a razor blade stuck into his gums between his front teeth; presumably it got there when he bit into an apple. In Halloween Kills, a trick-or-treater rushes to the door of the couple living in the old Myers house, claiming her friend had swallowed a razor blade in a piece of their candy, had vomited it back up and was suffering internal injuries. Turns out the kids were lying to distract the couple while a third kid stole their entire bowl of Halloween candy. They're not amused. |

Oz had a member of The Mafia killed by ground glass slipped in his food over a long period. The problem with this technique in real life is that any glass fragments large enough to cause damage would be noticed when the victim ate it.

Kenny & Company: On Halloween afternoon, Mr. Donovan warns the kids to be careful with candy apples and popcorn balls, as those have been known to contain razor blades or rat poison. That night, a creepy-looking guy gives Kenny, Doug, and Sherman each a popcorn ball; once his door is closed, the kids throw the popcorn balls back at it. | |

In Halloween II (1981), a trick-or-treater and his mom are shown arriving at the emergency room of the hospital where the action of the film takes place. The boy has a razor blade stuck into his gums between his front teeth; presumably it got there when he bit into an apple. | |

Discussed in Blubber: Villain Protagonist Jill mentions that her mother worries about the possibility of razor blades being found in apples given out on Halloween, so Jill and her brother Kenny have to give any apples that they get when trick or treating to their family's housekeeper to cut up (said housekeeper has never found a razor blade in any of the apples). | |

In one Paddington Bear story, Paddington almost swallows the coin in the Browns' Christmas pudding, as he's not aware of the tradition (see the real life section). | |

In Halloween Kills, a trick-or-treater rushes to the door of the couple living in the old Myers house, claiming her friend had swallowed a razor blade in a piece of their candy, had vomited it back up and was suffering internal injuries. Turns out the kids were lying to distract the couple while a third kid stole their entire bowl of Halloween candy. They're not amused. | |

In the beginning of the Firefly episode "War Stories", the crew is indulging in a box of fresh apples Jayne bought for them, when Kaylee asks Zoe why she always cuts them with a knife instead of biting in. She relates a story from the war, where the Alliance and Independent armies had a standoff, got to talking, and the Independents mentioned they had no food. The Alliance soldiers tossed over apples—which had "Griswold" grenades in them and before anyone realized it, "there's three guys just kind of end at the ribcage." | |

Kingdom of Loathing's All-Hallow's Steve is that world's Anthropomorphic Personification of this trope. Naturally, you can only fight him on Halloween, during the trick-or-treating event. | |

The Creepypasta I Did Something Bad Last Halloween involves the protagonist, an abused girl, being force-fed halloween candy by her mother in the hopes that she will eat a poisoned one. She survives, but this inspires her to start poisoning halloween candy, but only if the victim deserves it, ex. a boy who copped a feel. It helps that she reverse-pickpockets the tampered candy into their trick-or-treat bags. | |
