i'm still a young man, but even in my short time i have seen a sharp decrease in the amount of trick or treaters almost every year. when i was younger as soon as school let out there would be big crowds that would last until 10:00pm. now, i hardly see anybody out after 8 and a lot fewer people out overall. on the topic of candy, my favorites were always the houses that handed out those little mini goodie bags full of a bunch of different fun size bars.
