There are other forms, e.g., "wackies". These are equivalent to the more
common "dibs" ... which I believe is likely short for "divide" or "divvy"
(the request is to "divvy up" the treat) ... so just maybe "haggies" and
"wackies" are from "hack"/"whack" = "cut [into shares]". These juvenile
terms are old, I think, and the original item to be divided might have been
something like an apple more often than a box of candy ... maybe.
