Frighteningly Fun Facts

18. How many pounds of candy corn are produced each year for Halloween, making it one of the most iconic Halloween candies? Answer: approximately 35 million pounds of candy corn are produced each year for Halloween.

19. In which country did the tradition of "bobbing for apples" originate, a popular Halloween game? Answer: bobbing for apples is an age-old Halloween tradition, believed to have European origins (ancient Rome). It involved filling a container with apples and water. Players had to catch apples using only their teeth. Success on the first try meant good luck in love. Failing twice meant love would be short-lived, and three attempts signaled failure. Another variation of bobbing for apples is that the first person to bite an apple would be the next one in the group to have a marriage. If a girl bit into an apple and placed the fruit beneath her pillow, she would see her true love in a dream. Despite its romantic roots, bobbing for apples remains a popular Halloween activity, showing how this tradition has evolved over time while maintaining its global appeal.

20. The word "Halloween" has its roots in an old English phrase meaning what? Answer: the word "Halloween" has its roots in the Scottish phrase "Allhallowe'en" or "All Hallows even", which means "the evening before All-Hallows". It was originally a Scottish holiday that was later adopted by the Irish and other cultures. The holiday was celebrated on the night of October 31st, which is the eve of the Western Christian feast of All Saints' Day. The ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, which marked the end of summer and the beginning of winter, is believed to have influenced the development of Halloween. During this festival, people would light bonfires and wear costumes to ward off ghosts.
