Remember the good ol' Halloween days when the houses with bad candy just got egged? Not anymore — in the 21st century, if you're giving out toothpaste, prepare to be the butt of a trending hashtag.

In this comic, Maria Scrivan shows that trick-or-treating just isn't the same now that every kid has a cellphone (and will probably spend more time Instagramming their candy than eating it).

But here's a simple ground rule: If you're old enough to tweet, you're too old to trick-or-treat.
