We had a rich family in the town where I grew up that gave full size candy bars, a bottle of 7Up (they owned a bottling company among other things), and a roll of pennies. The lines would be a hundred long to go to that house.
My best friend lived a few blocks from there, and we had 2 nights for Halloween. So, he'd come to my house one night & I'd go there the other.
Every year we hit that mansion. (Yeah, it was a mansion. About 12,000 square feet on an entire city block.)
