Random Thought #1: At what age should people stop Trick or Treating

Halloween is a holiday where kids go out in silly overpriced costumes and go door to door threatening people for candy. I remember going trick or treating when I was in a kid, and enjoying the various candies I got from neighbors. In middle school I used to debate looking like an overgrown kid to go get pounds of delicious candy, but I usually contained myself and stole from my parents' stash. Last time I went trick or treating was in 7th grade, but I didn't get that much candy because my costume was a Trader Joe's bag with holes cut out for eyes.
That brings me to my thought, at what age should kids stop going out trick or treating?
I think around 6-7th grade should be the cutoff.
It's not that I feel embarrassed to be seen from the people giving me candy, but I am embarrassed to be seen next to a bunch of 5 year olds.
But candy is delicious and I always think of going trick or treating when Halloween comes around every year.

  3. There's no age limit. Just like there's no age limit to playing video games. If you enjoy it, fuck the rest.

  4. I was 16 and still trick or treating! We would get bad ass costumes! Especially when we started to work and not have to harass our parents! My favorite year was when I was a gorilla! I would sit by some strangers house who puts candy outside with asign that says take one, and they would think i was a costume. They'd go to get candy and I'd jump up scaring the shit out of them, get a laugh, catch up with the kids and give them the box of candy that was left outside of the house.

  7. I'm thinking that if you're at the point where you no longer believe in Santa Claus, you shouldn't keep trick-or-treating. That's sorta the same age, for me.
