Fun Fact Friday (#40)

Fun Fact Friday is a meme hosted by Lettora at I'm Booked! Isn't it very fitting that the 13th Fun Fact Friday is on the day after Halloween... spooky. I hope you've all had a frightfully sweet filled week.

Now onto this weeks freaky(ish) facts...

1. Though many consider pumpkins, squash and courgettes to be different foods, they are in fact all the same genus and species, and can be bred with one another.

2. Candy Corn was originally known as "chicken feed."

3.  Orange and black are Halloween colors because orange is associated with the Fall harvest and black is associated with darkness.

4.  Trick Or Treating Is Actually A Form Of Ancient Begging

5. The symbolic white mask that Michael Myers wears in “Halloween” is actually a mask of William Shatner. The production crew bought the cheapest mask they could find at a party store and spray-painted it white.

Happy Halloween!
