I'm not a big fan of Halloween. Although I think it is cute when the kids get dressed up. I admit I used to dress up as a kid. One of my favorite Halloween costumes was when I was a cheetah in third grade. Oh yeah, and I used to like the candy. Now I only eat sweets every once in a while. Anyways, here are some facts about Halloween:
"The first Halloween celebration in America took place in Anoka, Minnesota in 1921."
"About 99% of the pumpkins marketed domestically get turned into jack-o'-lanterns."
"Halloween candy sales average about $2 billion annually in the United States."
"Over 10% of pet owners dress their pets and Halloween customs."
"Over $1.5 billion is spent on costumes each year and more than $2.5 billion on other Halloween paraphernalia."
"90% of parents admit sneaking goodies from their kids' Halloween trick or treat bags."
