\"Halloween<\/a>We\u2019re all familiar with the custom of trick-or-treating for Halloween.\u00a0 But, surprisingly, it\u2019s not that old a phenomenon.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

When the custom of trick-or-treating started in the 1930s and early 1940s, according to History.com, children were given everything from homemade cookies and pieces of cake to fruit, nuts, coins and toys. In the 1950s, candy manufacturers began to get in on the act and promote their products for Halloween, and as trick-or-treating became more popular, candy was increasingly regarded as an affordable, convenient offering. It wasn\u2019t until the 1970s, though, that wrapped, factory-made candy was viewed as the only acceptable thing to hand out to all the little ghosts and goblins that showed up on people\u2019s doorsteps. A key reason for this was safety, as parents feared that real-life boogeymen might tamper with goodies that weren\u2019t store-bought and sealed. (And, since they hadn\u2019t taken a\u00a0psychic test free<\/u>\u00a0with\u00a0PsychicDirectory<\/u>, they didn\u2019t want to take chances.)<\/p>\n

Today, when it comes to Halloween candy, a number of the most popular brands are enduring classics. For example, the first Hershey\u2019s Milk Chocolate bar was produced in 1900 and Hershey\u2019s Kisses made their debut in 1907. Company founder Milton Hershey was a pioneer in the mass-production of milk chocolate and turned what previously had been a luxury item for the well-to-do into something affordable for average Americans. In the early 1900s, he also built an entire town, Hershey, Pennsylvania, around his chocolate factory. In 1917, Harry Burnett Reese moved to Hershey, where he was employed as a dairyman for the chocolate company and later worked at its factory. Inspired by Milton Hershey\u2019s success, Reese, who eventually had 16 children, began making candies in his basement. In the mid-1920s, he built a factory of his own and produced an assortment of candies, including peanut butter cups, which he invented in 1928 and made with Hershey\u2019s chocolate. During World War II, a shortage of ingredients led Reese to pull the plug on his other candies and focus on his most popular product, peanut butter cups. In 1963, Hershey acquired the H.B Reese Candy Company.<\/p>\n

In 1923, a struggling, Minnesota-born candy maker, Frank Mars, launched the Milky Way bar, which became a best-seller. In 1930, he introduced the Snickers bar, reportedly named for his favorite horse, followed in 1932 by the 3 Musketeers bar. Frank\u2019s son Forrest eventually joined the company, only to leave after a falling out with his father. Forrest Mars relocated to England, where he created the Mars bar in the early 1930s. In 1941, he launched M&Ms. Mars anticipated that World War II would produce a cocoa shortage (maybe he would have done well on the\u00a0PsychicDirectory<\/u>\u00a0esp test<\/u>!), so he partnered with Bruce Murrie, son of a Hershey executive, in order to have access to a sufficient supply of ingredients; the candy\u2019s name stands for Mars and Murrie.<\/p>\n
