DECK THE HOLIDAY'S

    You can’t have Halloween without candy! Those fun-size bars are cute and we all look forward to indulging in them every October. But, what do we know about our favorite candy besides the fact that they taste good? Here are some fun (and little known) candy facts for the most popular Halloween goodies! Snickers: *The best selling candy bar of all time. *Was named after the Mars’ family’s favorite Horse. *When first available in the early 1930s, Snickers cost only 20 cents. Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups: *Were invented by Harry Burnett Reese, a dairy farmer from Hershey, PA. *Reese created them in his basement after being inspired by the Hershey Chocolate company. *Reese used Hershey chocolate in his confections, and the Peanut Butter Cups were his most popular candy. *Reese left farming to create his own candy business – H.

One of the most popular theories is that disgruntled townspeople attacked city councilmen with tomatoes during a town celebration.    In 1950, the council allowed the party to happen. The next year however it was not approved, thanks to pressure from town residents and other participants. When the festival was finally officially s
