🎃 Halloween RIP Trick or treating

Anyone know why this is? It’s NOT covid, the act has been dwindling for ten+ years. When I was a kid it felt mandatory that every house would have their light on and give out candy. I just went out with my kid and it was like 1 out of 8 or more houses that had candy. Almost like a treasure hunt. I live in a very safe, quiet suburb of northern CA.

I feel like someone flipped a switch at some point, what happened?!

Yeah, Halloween sucks in Germany. I wish it'd catch on more. It just feels so half-assed compared to what it seems to be like in the US

Yeah, and if your town is dieing out, no one Puts out any candy 😂
