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.

I give candy to parents with costumes. Knock on my door, say trick or treat, and you get candy. Them's the rules.

I also give adults I know beer or seltzer.

If you don't give a treat, you risk getting tricked.

We do full-sized candy bars, but we also have small candy for when we run out of full-sized ones. Last year I had an adult that was not in costume take the last full-sized one, unwrap it, and bite into it right in front of us. I don't care if you take a little one for yourself, but the full-sized bars are for the kids. You can buy your own damn full-sized candy bars.

Yep. If you show up to my door with a costume, you're getting candy. Age is an afterthought if at all.
