Growing up we had a family move in across the street, from China.
At Halloween, we rang the doorbell, and yelled "Halloween Apples" and the lady of the house opened the door, and put down a handful of chocolate bars back into the bowl by the door.
She ran to the kitchen, and came back with a bag of Apples!
That was the last time the phrase "Halloween Apples" every crossed my lips!

This happened last month when I checked into the Sheraton Salzburg and inquired about an upgrade.
I asked a lovely Austrian woman at the desk if she might happen to have an extra suite.
She gave me the biggest smile I've ever seen and slipped away into the office.
Brimming with self-satisfaction, she returned a few minutes later with a gift bag filled with chocolate "Mozart Balls."
I was quite confused.
She said "you asked for a 'sweet'."
I started laughing and said "no I wanted a 'suite' - like a bigger room."
She finally caught on and started laughing too. Then the duty manager came out and asked what was going on. We told her and she started laughing as well.
We were all laughing at the Sheraton Salzburg.
Then I trotted off to a very nice upgraded Executive room.
