Are You Skittles Years Old?

I found this cool story and thought I’d share.  To me it seems as though some candies have been around forever then when I saw the year they made their debut I was like, I’m older than that. lol  So as we roll into Trick-Or-Treating weekend and you being a parent now, let’s go back and think about the candy we got and what we were hoping for.  Also, if you are handing out candy, DON’T hand out apples, I remember one house that was like one of the biggest houses around and we were sure we were going to get at least the full size Snickers bar, just to have them plop a apple in our bag.  I held a bit of a grudge as a kid, and maybe even as an adult, I still do.

Click here to check out the full story on the candy that debuted the decade you were born.
