Twitter user Mark Sparrow sparked controversy on Monday when he suggested ruining the sanctity of Halloween candy with a cruel prank.
It'll soon be Halloween so time to prepare some yummy treats for the neighbourhood kids. Try dipping Brussels sprouts in chocolate for them. pic.twitter.com/HFXGA9vFSV

Understandably, people were horrified.
HAVE YOU NO SOUL?

Think of all those excited kids in their costumes running from door to door gathering candy, biting into a chocolate ball only to reveal the world’s most loathed veggie inside. It’s nothing short of traumatic.

Liver (yes, liver) dipped in dark chocolate.

And yet more evil netizens took this a stage further and recommended wrapping the sprouts chocolates in Ferrero Rocher wrappers.

And some warned that Mark was taking a serious risk going for the “trick” option on Halloween.
And do a bunch of stretches to prepare yourself for cleaning 7 dozen eggs off of your house.

Still hilarious, though.
