#HallmarkPressPause makes Halloween fun ~ #Review & #Giveaway

Have you heard that The Bay on Queen Street, Toronto, has already set up their Christmas collection in their store? Wait! The kids have not had their Halloween yet. We can’t miss one of the most fun events of the year. I think it is better than Christmas. Not to be sound like a Scrooge, or maybe I do, but when can people dress up for the fun and people don’t think you need to be checked into a loonie bin. Plus when can you go knocking on people’s door and they give you candies, chocolates, and chips. Of course the best part of the night is to dump out the bag to sort out the loot. I love when houses decorate for Halloween. It makes Halloween very exciting and fun. Hallmark has so many exciting Halloween decoration ideas this year that could be re-used every year.

Press Release

Happy Halloween from Hallmark ~ #HallmarkPressPause #Review

Can you believe that summer break is long gone and the kiddies are back at school.  When school starts, things will go full speed ahead into Thanksgiving, Halloween and into Christmas.   I have always found the final four months of the year go faster than the rest...and before you know it I will be dressing up my daughter in her Halloween costume.  I think my oldest daughter will be dressing up as a princess she wore last year.  I will just have to think a creative ways to put on her makeup this year.  I will have to roll up my sleeves up and fumble at it.

History of Candy ~ Random Facts

Who is getting ready for Halloween?

What are you giving out this halloween?  Chips, lollipops, chocolate, or candies????
Today I was reading the Toronto Star, "Candy through the ages" and I found a few things interesting.
This is just a little recap of the article from the Toronto Star, "Candy through the ages", Saturday Oct 27, 2012 newspaper.

1880s
The candy corn was born.  Oct 30th is National Candy Corn Day.

1890s
Tootsie Roll. During the Korean War, "tootsie roll" was code name for 60mm mortar ammunition. But there was a mistake and someone actually shipped out Tootsie Rolls instead of ammunition.  Ha!

1910s
Life Savers - known as the "summer candy".

1920s
Fruit gelatin was invented - giving birth to gummy bears.
In Austria, the Pez was launched.
Dubble Bubble was created around this era too.

1940s
There was no candy production during the war but afterwards came the Jolly Rancher

1950s
The red-hot candies and The Lucky Elephant Pink Candy Popcorn

1960s
Tic Tac and the Blow Pops

1970s
Gobstopper was created but didn't last long because a little girl got burned by biting into it after left in the sun.
My favourite, the Jelly Belly!!!!

1980s
Nerds and Sour Patch Kids

1990s
Worms, ants, crickets that are trapped in clear hard candy.  OK, who has eaten these?

2000s
Remember Juicy Fruit, Spearmint, and Doublemint gum.  These were given to soldiers during WWII.  Discontinued when the war has ended.  Then 57 years later they re-launched the products.

Have you eaten any of these?
