And... isn't it the parent's responsibility to "inspect" all candy before their child can have it?
Actually, that's not an option for us - it's a
really important responsibility because of Little P's serious food allergies. We're still hoping he'll outgrow the allergies, but if he doesn't, Halloween will actually start being very stressful for myself and Mr. P in the next year or two - especially until he's old enough to really understand why some things are safe and others aren't.
At least he's not old enough to know what he's missing out on yet! (Also, here's hoping Baby P doesn't have the same allergies!)
And yeah, the TOT bags were part of the Masks quests. It seems silly to have skipped out on them just because of the cart being smashed (just cause we don't have new masks shouldn't mean we can't go trick or treating!). Why not just go back to the way it was before at the very least - even if they picked new random locations or something for the bags to be?
ETA: For those that don't read the editorial:

Trick or treat! *hands you an empty bag* My Neopets are sad. See, only ONE of them could participate in the event, but they ALL get to open trick-or-treat bags! I'm sad, too. Nobody gives candy to a fifty-something woman, and my kid doesn't need me to dress him up and hold his hand anymore. He's 6'4" now. Soooo... could you maybe, possibly, make an old lady and her 'pets happy next year and bring back trick-or-treating? Pleeeeeze? *big, sad Puppyblew eyes* ~prplecat
We didn't quite realise just how... passionate you guys were over Neopets trick-or-treating until we saw the aftermath on the boards / fan sites! A brief explanation: we wanted to do a small storyline event for Halloween-time this year, and so Saskia was replaced. Her trick-or-treating mechanic didn't really fit in with monster hunting, so we went with puzzle / event prizes as a replacement for candy / bags. Since y'all really like your trick-or-treat bags, we'll definitely attempt to squeeze in time for them next year (whether Saskia herself makes a return or not). x_X
Yay! At least we'll get our TOT bags back next year!

That's what I liked about the Neo trick or treating! Ah well...
