3. At H-E-B Pharmacy, on an unusually quiet Sunday afternoon, a delivery driver noticed that every fifth box of aspirin had mysteriously turned into candy.

A regular customer overheard and asked if they could get some too—claiming it was easier on his stomach than the usual tablets. The story spread quickly among neighbors, turning what should’ve been just another mundane day into a charming urban legend.

Here’s one that never left.’ Turned out, it was just his neighbor’s pet from childhood, mistakenly delivered.
