My sister Ann got the bright idea after seeing the bowl of Halloween candy left on our dining room table on November 1 that other families in the neighborhood might have some they didn't want. She was in elementary school at the time but I don't remember how old she was; pretty young, I think.
She ran outside with a pillow case and canvased the neighborhood. She'd ring the doorbell and say "Trick or trick for leftovers!" She got about halfway down the block before she realized the neighbors didn't quite see it the same way she did, as a public service to relieve them of their unwanted candy. One old lady down the block did give her a bunch of Pixie Sticks, which nobody wanted anyway, so all we have left of that day is the funny saying, "Trick or treat for leftovers!"
Got to give her credit for both guts and creativity, however....
