Trick or treating when I was young meant 9 houses to go to, a pillow case and what ever we found to dress up as. Coffee grounds made us hobos with Da's old coat.
9 houses = 3/4 of the pillow case filled with full sized candy bars, homemade gingerbread men, red delicious apples and occasionally an oj box from McDonald's. There were maybe 20 kids total who came to the door.

We always were safe, and known to all the neighbors.
