In Scotland, the children are only supposed to receive treats if they perform tricks
So why is it not called Trick-for-treat? Andy G 17:37 4 Jul 2003 (UTC)
It's called guising. The article's a bit misleading by mentioning "trick" here; I'll see what I can do about that. Mendor 13:30, 31 Oct 2003 (UTC)
"It originated in Great Britain and Ireland and is still popular in many parts of Scotland, England, and Ireland"
- Dit it, and is it!? Most people I know think of it as very much an 'American import' and not all British. Mintguy
- I agree - some kids here in AU where i live came to my door trick or treating - i gave them some chocolate but i was seriously tempted to say "This is not the USA and could you find someone else to annoy?" PMA 13:33, Feb 21, 2004 (UTC) (I like kids, i really do!)
