Today is Halloween. Yeah, like you didn't already know that. But KidsPost is going to tell you some things about Halloween that maybe you don't know.
Candy corn has been around for more than 100 years. It was first made by the company now called Jelly Belly Candy.
The most popular kids' Halloween costumes this year:
1. Princess -- 3.8 million costumes
2. Witch -- 1.7 million
3. Spider-Man -- 1.4 million
4. Monster -- 1.3 million
5. Darth Vader -- 1.2 million
Seventy percent of parents admit sneaking snack-size chocolate bars from their kids' trick-or-treat bags. (We think the other 30 percent are fibbing!)
About 45 percent of kids say they get more than 100 pieces of candy.
About 20 percent of kids say they eat all their candy in less than a week .
Almost 50 percent say they need at least two weeks to finish it off.
The five states that produce the most pumpkins are Illinois, California, Ohio, Michigan and Pennsylvania.
