When I was a kid my brother and I would compete on Halloween to see who could get the most trick or treat loot.
The gold standard was who had the most chocolate bars.
A close second was bags of chips and cans of pop.
Those loose candies never counted – I’m talking those marshmallowy bananas and peanuts, molasses kisses, and such.
They were offered to Dad. (in the hope that he’d leave our chocolate bars alone)
How did you measure your Halloween success? And what did your parents get to sample?
