#Shrinkflation

Brought my daughter to a trunk-or-treat and got this so so fun sized pack of peanut M&M's. More of a trick than a treat really.

A trunk-or-treat is a separate event from Halloween trick-or-treating that doesn't necessarily happen on Halloween day. That's part of the appeal, since Halloween might fall on a weeknight or the weather might be uncooperative. Also, the cars stay parked at a trunk-or-treat. I'm not sure what you mean about it creating extra car traffic.

The cars have to get from the homes to the carpark

Okay, but like I said it's a separate event so it doesn't create traffic that would make regular trick-or-treating more hazardous. It isn't even really extra traffic. People often have to drive places for family friendly activities.
