1970'S PUMPKIN HEAD CANDY CONTAINER

An artifact from my childhood is this pumpkin head candy container. These were sure fun to play with after you ate the multi-colored candy that looked like the inside of a Contact pill. I seem to remember a skull guy and a witch that we had, plus we got Easter and Christmas characters too! No, not for Halloween, but for Easter and Christmas!

They were kind of a throwback to the old glass candy containers that were popular during the 1920's thru the 1950's.

I have this one and a Santa, but that’s all. So it looks like I’ll be haunting ebay so I can find a few more.

"Oops! It seems I've dropped my head!"

For some reason these charging little super-heroes just crack me up! They look like they just robbed a bank and they’re making their getaway.

HALLOWEEN EGG NOG

Yes this really existed behind the cold glass doors of the supermarket! Halloween Egg Nog was only around for one season in the late 1990's and I have the carton to prove it! This should be in Ripley’s Believe It Or Not since it’s such an oddity.

It kind of messes with your mind when you look at the carton because as we’ve always known that egg nog is purely a drink only consumed during the Christmas season.

This brand of egg nog tasted nasty, but the carton has some of the best Halloween graphics I’ve seen in recent years.
