Saftey first, everything in tact!

I would have to admit that I don't really pay attention. At Halloween we always inspect the candy before we eat it, but you are right. We should be checking it all year around. Are you talking about individually wrapped candies out of a larger package? I think those come unwrapped in the bag all the time, but we problably should be more careful than we are.

No, I don't eat anything that isn't completely wrapped or covered or sealed. Not because I worry about tampering (except the medicine, that would worry me), but because I think of the possibility of germs. Weird how the thought of germs in the candy bothers me more than the thought of a razor blade in my candy. I mention the razor blade because they found a piece of a razor in the person's candy recently. Evidently it was part of a box opener that had come off and settled into the candy. Good thing the person saw it before popping it in their mouth. Coincidentally, it was from China. Hmmm....

Whether or not I use a product whose wrapper is not totally intact depends upon the type of item. Sadly, I am a stickler about the seal being intact on medications but more lenient about wrappers on certain foods! If a candy or other wrapped items is a part of a larger bag, like Hershey's kisses for example, and one of the candies has a partially removed wrapper I don't worry too bad. I assume it is from the manufacuring process. Now a candy bar, sold individually, whose wrapper is not fully intact would not go to my mouth!

I was going to say that with candy bought at a store, sometimes they come unwrapped in shipping, but since reading about BlueUnicorn and AmbiePam's response, now I may think twice..

No I do not!! We, unfortunately, live in a world where there are mean people who do mean things. One day i bought a soda from a store to drink with my lunch (no, sorry, it was a Snapple)and when i went to open it, i learned that it was opened already. I mean, the outer plastic covering was gone and everything. I don't know how i missed that. Needless to say, I didn't drink it and was pi**ed off!

You know I have never actually thought about that, I certainly wont use medication if the seal is already broken and the same with jars of things bought from a supermarket, if the seal button is popped I wont use that either. But I will eat sweets if the wrapper is not on properly! But it seems different with sweets though somehow.

Depends, if there is a small opening I would eat it but large or partially torn off the entire package I would not. If it was something from the pharmacy, no I would not use the product and return the item.

hi jill! ^__^ were you hungry when you opened the candy?? hehe.. i don't eat or use products with tampered cover. i don't buy products with tampered cover actually. i'm very particular of this because if a product has tampered cover, the contents might have been exposed to germs, or something might have changed. like in canned foods, i don't buy those with dents because my college professor said that most likely the dents might have caused a change in the chemical composition of the contents. i don't know if its true but there's no harm in following it. ^__^

I do not use any products if the wrapper is not totally intact - you never know...
