[Frito-Lay](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unbox-the-icons) Variety Packs is teaming up with Safe Kids Worldwide this Halloween to bring attention to children's safety by sharing a first-of-its-kind limited-edition reflective trick-or-treat bag. The candy-collecting 'Get Spotted' bags are designed to increase a child's chances of being seen in low-light conditions, as the spooky design has elements that will bounce light off its surface.
