Half Nuts

If you grew up in Milwaukee in the 1950's or 1960's, you remember the nickel Ziegler Giant Bar, a classic chocolate-peanut bar made by the local George Ziegler Company, which became a Halloween tradition for school kids. While the candy bar 1st appeared in 1911, it wasn't until after World War II that every school child in Milwaukee got one. That is when the firm started donating enough Ziegler Giant Bars to metropolitan Milwaukee schools each Halloween so every child could have two.
