Trick or Treat? The practice of dressing up in costumes and begging door to door for treats on holidays dates back to the Middle Ages; we've certainly come a long way from then. The National Confectioners Association reported in 2005 that 80 percent of adults in the United States planned to give out confectionery to trick-or-treaters and that 93% of children, teenagers, and young adults planned to go trick-or-treating or participating in other Halloween activities. In 2008, Halloween candy, costumes and other related products accounted for $5.77 billion in revenue. Happy Halloween weekend!
