"haggies" from a 2000 posting about the Bronx

[Sam Clements]

Barry posted some terms from a Bronx lexicon which he found in a Barnes and
Noble.  No date, etc.

The term that intrigued me was "Haggies."  He cited it thusly from the book:

     25.  Haggies or No Haggies...When someone bought a box of candy, you
would
yell haggies and he would have to share with you unless that person had
shouted no haggies first

    "Haggies" is, unfortunately, not in DARE.  It is the rare term that's
not
found on ANY of my search engines (Nexis, Dow Jones, Alta Vista, Lycos,
Infoseek, Deja News, et al.).  Someone from the Bronx had once asked me
about
"haggies."

There were a few replies but no answer.

I first learned of "Heggy's" candy from Cleveland, OH. when I moved up here
in the 1970's.  I wonder if there is a connection?  I know it's reaching.
