Don't talk to strangers, kids

This is a single-panel reaction meme. At the top of the image, black text reads 'When 5-year-old me and bro get in the van and there is no candy'. Below the text is a still shot from the 1995 comedy film *Friday*, showing two Black male characters: one in the background wearing a green and dark blue pom-pom beanie and sunglasses with a serious, unimpressed expression, and one in the foreground wearing a brown cap backwards with a shocked, wide-eyed, open-mouthed panicked expression. The meme uses dark humor to play on the common parental safety warning for children not to accept candy from strangers or get into strangers' vehicles, humorously exaggerating the immediate regret and panic kids would feel if they fell for the lure and discovered there was no candy as promised, by pairing the relatable childhood scenario with the overly dramatic, intimidating reaction shot from the film.
