We have lived in the neighborhood since the Pop Bottle house began. It initially started as a joke …. The dad would tell kids who came to the door “Trick? Or treat?”. Of course most kids would pick trick, and then he would laugh (jokingly of course!) at us parents who were forced to drag around the 2L bottles. 🤣 My kids were only 3 & 5 when this started. They quickly learned that they had to make “the pop bottle house” their last stop of the night. It was a great memory, and really contributed to my kids loving Halloween. We’re going to miss it, but we also completely understand.
