I've talked to a gamut of kids from the 60s and 70s and most of us have happy Halloween. Cool costumes (remember the cheap plastic boxed kind mom got for $2 at the grocery store?). And the candy--along with today's fare there were some treats that have disappeared in the passage of time: Slo Pokes, Sugar Babies, Marathon, Choco-Lite, Razzles. Halloween parties were a blast too--bobbing for apples (no one worried about catching H1N1 then), costume parades and hay mazes--good times. My favorite part of trick-or-treat wasn't any of those things, fun as they were. It was getting to carry a little orange box to collect pennies for UNICEF. Do you remember 'trick-or-treat for UNICEF? You can still do it....
