18/20 because after that you ought to be able to be a candy-giver. This whole thing only works if we have enough candy-givers, and too late of a cutoff age skews the balance.
How is a 20 year old gonna be a candy giver? Do you get handed a home at 18 where you live?
Is there some rule I wasn't aware of that you must own a home in order to give out candy on Halloween?
At 18, you presumably live SOMEWHERE. Nothing stopping you from giving out candy at that residence.
Note: this is not an endorsement that you shouldn't be allowed to trick or treat at 18. Simply pointing out that your specific argument is bullshit.
On your Halloween after turning 18, the first house you knock on is obligated to give you the keys.
When did it become a rule that you have to be a home owner to hand out candy on Halloween? Where I live, anyone can give out candy on Halloween, even renters and guests.
I've heard of people doing both on the same night. Some people like seeing costumes and some like wearing them. It doesn't matter how old you are, do what you'd like and it will balance out.
