  1. Why is October the tenth month rather than the eighth as its name implies? I don’t know, but I have always wondered this. Even September doesn’t work. October 10th is my sister’s birthday though.
  2. Why is Halloween on October 31st? Because with all the candy you eat there would be no way to get through October if you were on a sugar-high. It is one of those long months that doesn’t have many holidays to break it up.
  3. What exactly is Pumpkin Spice? It is the fall flavor for Dunkin.
  4. How did the tradition of carving Jack-o’-lanterns start? It started because someone’s front light went out, so they figured they would get any trick-or-treaters so the grabbed the pumpkin off the steps, carved out a space big enough to hold a candle to light up their house. It worked then people thought it would be nice to have an autumn look to it.
  5. Why are they called Jack-o’lanterns? Because Jack owned the lantern shop.

  7. What is the big deal about Columbus Day? It is a day that most stores have some really good deals.
  8. Why do kids trick-or-treat on Halloween? Because if they did it any other day that would be looked at funny and the parents would be to blame for their kids behavior.
  9. According to at least one internet source, October 30th is National Candy Corn Day. Why? Because it is the only day that someone can stomach eating more than one or two.
  10. What happens to all the candy corn that doesn’t get eaten? It is recycled as plastic bags and water bottles.
