drug filled candy given away by charity
(www.abc.net.au)
No one was hospitalised and Ms Robinson said the "revolting" taste meant most had immediately spat them out.
The lollies had a high street value of $NZ1,000 ($916) per lolly (...) solid blocks of methamphetamine enclosed in lolly wrappers. Three people — a child, a teenager and a charity worker — sought medical treatment after tasting the boiled sweets, auckland detective inspector Glenn Baldwin told reporters. None are currently in hospital.
Came here for LOLz, but this is no joking matter.
I'm just glad no one was seriously hurt. Or, worse, killed. This is the sort of thing that gives me nightmares as a parent.
That revolting taste saved many people.

Sounds like Gus Fring's charity sent the wrong package.
Wow, it actually finally happened just like they warned us in D.A.R.E.!
