Maybe the were a regional thing?

In the 1950's when I was trick-or-treating we mostly got a piece or two of penny candy, and it was often stuff that I never ate normally. We didn't get full sized candy bars, although sometimes got home made popcorn balls or an apple.

I give out much better candy than I ever got.
