The trick is property damage…
Comment on When kids come trick-or-treating, what happens if I choose trick?

One year I learned it was a valid option, I prepared card tricks and wore a t-shirt that said “It’s OK to choose trick” or something like that, and not one person chose trick. I remember being vaguely disappointed.

It doesn’t have to be.

It’s not the kids who choose. They say “trick or treat” because if you don’t give them a treat, they will trick you. By vandalizing your house. That’s the tradition.

I agree historically but now it’s more of a question to the person in the house.
Some people do haunted houses “grapes are eyeballs type stuff” or maybe they jump out of the bush and scare you.
So it’s still a question of “will it be a trick or a treat “ just with a different meaning.
But you are historically correct (the second best kind of correct with “technically correct” being 1)
