What are loot bags and what does they have to do with halloween candy?

Loot bags, sometimes called treat bags or goodie bags, are small bags or containers filled with treats or small toys. They're often given out to children at parties, events, or celebrations, including Halloween.

Here's how loot bags and Halloween candy are connected:

* Trick-or-Treating: When kids go trick-or-treating on Halloween, they often receive a mix of candy and small toys. Some people will put a few pieces of candy into a small loot bag to hand out instead of loose candy.

* Halloween Parties: Loot bags are a popular way to send kids home with treats and small toys after a Halloween party. They often contain candy, small Halloween-themed toys, or other fun items.

So, while not every loot bag contains Halloween candy, they are a common way to package and distribute candy during the Halloween season.
