At what age are kids to old to trick-or-treat?

I say never!

Are you someone who gets frustrated when a teenager comes to your home trick-or-treating?

Well, a new survey by YouGov asked people at what age kids become too old for trick-or-treating. Twelve years old was the most popular age, with 12% of the vote. 13 was next, followed by 14, 15, and 16.


5% thought that kids were too old at 10, which seems a little ridiculous to me.

26% of people said they don't think kids should ever be considered too old for trick-or-treating, which was the most popular response by far. The way I look at it is if you make the effort to get dressed up and come to my door, you're getting a piece of candy.

On the other side of the door, 61% of people say they'll hand out candy. 21% say they'll pretend to not be home. 10% don't know what they're doing yet.

And 2% of cold people say they'll answer the door, but will shoo trick-or-treaters away without giving them anything.

I say never!
