To go with the trick-or-treating thread. When handing out candy around what age would you deny people candy?
 
I don't deny anyone candies. Don't want raw eggs and toilet papers plaster all over my house.
 
I gave everyone candy that shoved an open bag at me (around 80 trick or treaters this year in all.) There were several that were older than what I think is appropriate...which is 17 and younger. It really doesn't matter to me though. I do kind of enjoy having a bit of fun with and seeing the older ones make fools of themselves begging for candy.

One woman, probably in her mid 30's, was with a small group of kids. She had no costume but had an open knapsack hanging on her front. I gave all the kids candy, they thanked me and left, she remained. She said she was trick or treating too. I told her I didn't hear her say "trick or treat"...waited, so she said it and I gave her her piece of candy. She did throw me an :rolleyes:, but I got a :lol: out of it.

I had a similar experience - the mother had a sack too ( almost full) but she smiled, said "trick or treat" and thanked me so I didn't mind.
 
I'm curious, to all of those who answered above.........do you guys live in the suburbs or the city?

Because I grew up in the suburbs, and we trick-or-treated, but I don't know how you would go trick-or-treating in the city.

Do people go trick or treating in apartment buildings? IDK.....it just doesn't feel the same to me.

As a kid I lived in a “small” town. Now I live in the second biggest city in my state.

To answer your main question though, same places for the most part.

As a kid there was a big condo building that made itself into a free haunted house. Almost everyone in the building took part and gave out candy. The building itself was huge for the area. That by itself usually filled my bag, but then we would go to the “rich” people area and look for those that went all out on decorating. They usually gave out full sized candy bars or candy by the bags.

Apartment buildings and neighborhoods are also pretty good. Cities do have houses as well, they just tend not to be downtown like condos.

My brother’s gf takes their kids to each of our malls then to a neighborhood that people decorate a lot. Pretty much the same thing I got to do as a kid.
 
If you're an adult and you want candy from me, you better have a damn good costume.
 
it's halloween, i didn't know there was an age range. i never deny anyone candy, it's a fun holiday. the candy is for everyone who's dressed and participating.

I grew up in the burbs, now live in the city. My neighborhood is single and two family homes, so trick or treating is done the same as in the burbs. The kids just don't have as far to go between houses.

It doesn't seem like it would be the same fun T or T'ing in a high rise apartment building or complex. I think a lot of the fun was just running around the neighborhood at night, in the dark, all the decorations on houses, and seeing all the other T or T'ers running around the neighborhood too (not to mention tp'ing the old fart's trees and house that lived down the street :lol:) I've heard that in the big high rise apartments, the people that are giving out candy sign a list so that the T or T'ers know which apts are participating. We always knew by which house had lights on.
 
I'm pretty festive about the whole thing - if you have a costume, you can have candy.

For me it was always better. Being inside is nice during this time a year here because it rains a lot, but also we got like an 8 level condo/haunted house to go thru. I loved being scared as a kid.


When going to malls and other businesses (usually convenience stores) which we also did it was great because we got to eat/drink whatever we got ASAP. 7-11 always gave out free Slurpees. Businesses were some of the best places to go.
 
I wouldn't deny anyone candy. Its Halloween, not politics. Why kill someones spirit like that?
 
Trick or treating is practically non-existent over here.
Maybe in some neighbourhoods you get a couple of kids.
 
I give stuff out to any one. Older ones I flirt with. Its a fun holiday for kids and kids at heart.
 
I usually end up with leftover candy anyway, and that's the last thing I need. So the last few trick or treaters get big handfuls of candy. I don't set an age limit.
 
I tend to deny the 7+ year olds candy. Heck, if they're old enough to smoke, they're old enough to not eat candy!

I wouldn't discourage generosity, but there IS good reason to deny those who aren't costumed.

Rituals are rituals.

The digression of trick or treating into just begging isn't any tradition. Playing the game, dressing up in the traditional costumes of the holiday are part of the ritual.

What's the point in just giving away candy. It's not about giving -- it's about the costume, the charade, and the token given as a symbolic act to ward off the trickery.

If we were to give it away just because someone came threateningly begging, it would reduce it to extortion.

And who the hell mentioned ANYTHING political in this thread? Who?

What spirit is there to kill if the callers aren't costumed? Thuggery?

My point was actually towards the topic, not about being dressed up or not. I've never had anyone come up to the door who wasn't dressed up so I have the same stance. Even if someone did I would probably give them candy. Most people don't have the balls to walk around and ask for candy without a costume, and if they don't have one, for all I know they couldn't afford it.

Gullible? Maybe.;)
 
^and it's not worth the risk of pissing off the rare kid/adult that comes along with no costume over a 15 cent piece of candy. No tricks for me...thank you very much.
