Poll: What do you give to trick-or-treaters?

Give it to us straight. Be honest.

HAVE YOU STOCKED up?

As is tradition, tomorrow will see children up and down the country knock on their neighbours’ doors looking for treats – and threatening tricks.

In recent years, however, health experts have asked people to take it easy on the sugary snacks. Last year in the UK, dentists told people to give out balloons and stickers in their place. Apples, oranges and monkey nuts are also popular alternatives.

What happens in your household? What do you give to trick-or-treaters?

Sweets and/or chocolate (8853)
