HALLOWEEN TRIVIA QUESTION

HAPPY HALLOWEEEEENNNN

Does anyone else find this happening to them. You blink, and a week has gone by? Well, that happened to me last week. The weekly Tuesday Trivia never happened... before I knew it, it was Friday (my computer got a virus) and the week was gone. So, I apologize for not having the weekly trivia last Tuesday. With this, I am doing one today, Monday, a day earlier... this time, the answer is NOT a year. Hmm are you curious???

Since it is the week of Halloween, this is what the trivia question deals with.

What Halloween candy was first given out in 1941, and was created during the Spanish Civil War?

Would you like this to be a multiply choice answer? Or would you like to try to figure it out on your own?

If you would like to do it as a multiply choice, and don't have the time to research it.. look below for 4 selections.

As always, lets try to keep this fun for others, so don't let on if you checked it out via the Internet. Thank you.

Debi... Good answer without looking. Only one more day until I reveal the answer. I know certain people are anxious, Steve L, but only 24 more hours to wait. Or maybe I'll give it out after midnight tonight.

I immediately thought of candy corn, but after reading the choices ... I'd go with melts in your mouth, not in your hands ... probably good if you're trying to fight a war and eat candy at the same time :) M & M

Val-Try emptying your temporary internet files. I don't know if that will do it or not, but I know that it can slow your computer down.

Teresa.. I'm sorry you missed this one. I actually had you in mind when I made it for almost a week... thinking this would give you enough of a chance to respond. Just remember, these come out on Tuesdays.. usually.

Kara.. You had a good answer.. it just wasn't the right one.. but you give it your best shot, and that is what counts.

My sons each came home with about (no lie) 12 pounds of candy. I guess when you live in a condo complex that has 524 units, it is easy pickings.

Laura.. I've dumped everything and started from scratch when the virus hit. I will try the temporary internet files.. who knows.. maybe that *will* help.

My kids brought in about 6 pounds each. We had to confiscate it because there was just too much. I know. I'm a bad dad. They'll get it all, but a little each day.

Benjamin.. My sons went a little crazy too. I actually weight the bags they came home with... they were roughly 12/13 pounds each.. INSANE!!! They are now set until Easter.
