Did you know…Halloween

There was a time when trick-or-treaters didn’t receive candy at all. According to the History Channel, it was common to pass out pieces of cake, fruit, nuts, coins, and little toys. It wasn’t until the 1950s that candy became a staple on the trick-or-treating circuit. And we have candy makers and good marketing to thank for that. #thehelpfulLO #halloween #trickortreat #themoreyouknow #spookyszn #happyhalloween #funfact
