Boy - brand name candy! The kids are going to love your house!

"For Pete's sake" is a minced oath. So instead being blasphemous and taking the Lord's name in vain, you take Saint Peter's name in vain. You can't go to hell for that one.
(Isn't it great what a Folklore minor can do for one?)
I am fond of "Heavens to Betsy" myself.
