My sister is 23 and still dresses up and goes out knocking doors for candy… and I find it weird but I let her do her. It got me thinking, at what age do you think someone should stop Trick r Treating at? Just curious.

    18/20 because after that you ought to be able to be a candy-giver. This whole thing only works if we have enough candy-givers, and too late of a cutoff age skews the balance.

      How is a 20 year old gonna be a candy giver? Do you get handed a home at 18 where you live?

        On your Halloween after turning 18, the first house you knock on is obligated to give you the keys.

        Is there some rule I wasn’t aware of that you must own a home in order to give out candy on Halloween?

        At 18, you presumably live SOMEWHERE. Nothing stopping you from giving out candy at that residence.

        Note: this is not an endorsement that you shouldn’t be allowed to trick or treat at 18. Simply pointing out that your specific argument is bullshit.

        When did it become a rule that you have to be a home owner to hand out candy on Halloween? Where I live, anyone can give out candy on Halloween, even renters and guests.
