American Fun – Pumpkin drop

Here’s a sport I’ve never seen before, but judging from the crowd gathered to watch, it’ll be one we’ll see again. It’s a Halloween trick unlike any other… and as one Youtube commenter wrote: “So American.” Watch as a 1,200 pound pumpkin (who knew there was such a thing?) is dropped on an old Pontiac. It’s crushing. And funny. (Note the wipers.) Do NOT try this in your driveway. But if you run across pumpkin seeds, try my grandma’s recipe: lightly toast in the oven with a little salt, olive oil and a sprinkle of paprika. A crunchy, yummy, healthy seasonal snack.
