Comment on When kids come trick-or-treating, what happens if I choose trick?
LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world 2 weeks agoIt’s not the kids who choose. They say “trick or treat” because if you don’t give them a treat, they will trick you. By vandalizing your house. That’s the tradition.

I agree historically but now it’s more of a question to the person in the house.
Some people do haunted houses “grapes are eyeballs type stuff” or maybe they jump out of the bush and scare you.
So it’s still a question of “will it be a trick or a treat “ just with a different meaning.
But you are historically correct (the second best kind of correct with “technically correct” being 1)
