Both my Brother and I had pillowcases stuffed with candy by the end of going around the block. There was so much candy there was no way to eat it except over a few days. wait a minute you told me you were old ? I was done the trick or treat thing by 1970 (10 yrs old) on to bigger things like rotten egg fights , shoe polish smearing you know all the things you'd go to jail for nowadays Link to comment

I was Trick or Treating up until 1979. In the 80's just decorated the house and gave out candy and kept the troublemakers away. Although there was 16 year olds that dressed up and were over 6' tall, so I just gave them candy and they went on their way. They didn't even try and wreck my Jack O' Lantern. Link to comment

Trick or Treating from 6-7:30. Then when you were done you went to Minoru Park where the Firemen did a fireworks display. Then I got back to my Dad's where we'd light up more fireworks. Home by 10pm and worn out, nibbling on candy and of course the good stuff was gone right away lol. Link to comment

Nuxfanabroad Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 Whoa..nostalgic thread! Coffee Crisp & Twix were pretty damned solid. Used to walk down Main St with a huge open tub of peanut butter, hoping a pretty lass would crash into me(roller skating perhaps?) with a healthy bar of chocolate. Now today, this life is just a beer commercial... But yeah, Peanut Butter Cups are also an addictive drug. Link to comment

redhdlois Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Does anyone (other than me) remember the molasses kisses...they were always the 'dud' Halloween candy. I also remember marshmallow ghosts. And the little box of 2 Chiclets. Back in my day, you rarely received a chocolate bar. Link to comment
