Instead of a shiny wrapped chocolate bar, a neighbor drops in a shiny red apple. At another door you might get a handful of nuts, a slice of homemade cake, or a sticky popcorn ball. Doesn't that sound like a strange Halloween haul? Back then, it was completely normal, because store-bought candy hadn't taken over yet.  \nThose homemade treats came from a time when candy was still a  \nrare luxury. In the early 1900s, most families couldn't buy factory sweets whenever they wanted, so they gave what they had at home. A mother might spend an afternoon boiling sugar and popcorn together to shape treats by hand for every child who knocked. Because everything was made in the kitchen, no two houses handed out exactly the same thing.  \nHandmade goodies ruled the porch until trick-or-treating itself began to explode in popularity. After World War II, as new neighborhoods filled with families and children, going door to door in costume became a nationwide tradition. Suddenly there were far too many kids to bake for, and homemade cake for a whole street was simply impossible. Candy companies noticed this crowd of hungry trick-or-treaters and saw a golden opportunity.  \nThat opportunity changed Halloween forever between the 1950s and the 1970s. Companies began selling candy in small, individually wrapped pieces, perfect for dropping one by one into passing bags. The wrappers made the treats easy to hand out, easy to carry, and easy for parents to trust. Little by little, the apple and the popcorn ball gave way to the wrapped chocolate bar we picture today.  \nToday that wrapped candy has grown into one of the biggest sweet-buying days of the whole year. According to the National Retail Federation, Americans plan to spend billions of dollars on Halloween candy each fall. That's a mountain of chocolate and gummies built from a holiday that once ran on apples and nuts! Next time you unwrap a piece of Halloween candy, remember it started with a neighbor handing you something warm from the oven.  \nThe History of Halloween Candy  \nName:  \n\n| Solve each problem.\u003Cbr>Use the article to answer the question.\u003Cbr>1) What is the main idea of the whole passage?\u003Cbr>A.
