There was the year where someone down the street gave out pennies! So exciting to an 8 year old!! You could take as many as your hand would hold. On the way home from that house, my bag broke.

I also remember having candy throwing fights with my brother. Our rooms were across from one another. We started by tossing each other candy we wanted to trade and ended up throwing candy neither of us wanted at each other as hard as possible (orange and black candies, mary janes, etc).
