Yes I know this story is six years old now, but figured I’d share something fun for the holiday.
Friend of mine insisted he said it while trick-or-treating as a kid, but I had no memory of people saying it. Apparently it’s generally an older thing, and it’s honestly fascinating.
“Trick or treat” was probably standardized by US media, but the term itself originates in Canada. (As well as the modern form of the activity)
Really? I wasn’t aware.
