Arlington, VA - The United States Drug Enforcement Administration is warning about a new scheme being used to illicitly market fentanyl to the nation's grandmothers and grandfathers by disguising it as terrible candy.

"It's a deliberate effort to drive addiction among older Americans with grandchildren," Anne Milgram, DEA Administrator, explained. "We are finding fentanyl designed to look like Werther's Originals, Bit-O-Honeys, unlabeled loose mints, and even those weird strawberry candies with the goopy center."
The men and women of the DEA are working tirelessly to stop the trafficking of so-called "fogie fentanyl" ahead of the holiday season, when grandparents tend to stock up on these awful treats in anticipation of Halloween and potential family visits. According to Milgram, every day brings new challenges. "We just found the first case of fentanyl made to look like a HALLS Mentho-Lyptus cough drop. These bastards always seem to be one step ahead of us."
