An Iowa woman flying into Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport (MSP) from Kenya last Friday had to have some of her items seized and destroyed.
She was traveling with a very bizarre item that US Customs and Border Patrol could not let enter the country. The woman declared that she was bringing back a small box of giraffe feces in her luggage.
She was not lying, there was in fact a box of giraffe turds, that CBP agricultural specialists seized. The woman told CBP the box of droppings was going to be used to make a necklace. You can see the turds below…
The CBP says that bringing fecal matter into the U.S. is a real danger. There is high possibility a disease could be contracted from this feces jewelry and could have developed into a serious health issue.
Halloween is the time of year when spookiness takes center stage, and creative costumes rule the streets. It’s also the day of the beloved tradition, trick-or-treating. Whether you’re a kid dreaming of a candy jackpot or an adult admiring the neighborhood’s costume creativity while handing out treats, it’s a highlight of the year.
However, you’ll always find that one neighbor who likes to shake things up by handing out something other than candy. It’s not always a bad thing, though. Some people do it for a good reason, like considering kids with dietary restrictions. But if you’re considering going outside the box, you should avoid certain trick-or-treat handouts.
Let’s talk about the Halloween horrors, the stuff no one wants in their trick-or-treat bag. First on the list are those infamous toothbrushes or dental floss packs. Halloween is the one night a year when kids can indulge in a sugar frenzy, and suddenly, you’re handed a dental hygiene product. It’s like being told to eat your veggies at a birthday party. Then there are the homemade treats. While some homemade goodies can be delicious, receiving unlabeled, homemade treats can make even the bravest trick-or-treater think twice; also, most parent’s won’t feel comfortable with that and may dispose of them. All of your hard work will go to waste! Safety is paramount on Halloween, and unwrapped or unlabeled edibles can raise concerns.
Another item to avoid is pennies. They’re not even worth the trip to the store, and they make you question if you’ve accidentally stumbled into a time machine back to the 1950s. If you’re going to give out money on Halloween, make it worthwhile if you can swing it. While Halloween is all about surprises, pennies are definitely not the kind of surprises anyone hopes for.
Take a look at some of the worst trick-or-treat handouts for Halloween.
