what happens to all those left over pumpkins

[onethatcares]

that don't sell during the fall season?

do they stuff them in the automobiles and trucks that don't sell and send them to Brazil?

Same thing with boats and motor homes, I never see long lines going into the distributorships clamoring for new ones
every year.

3. We collect them from our neighbors...

We get 10 - 15 or so, and make all kinds of pumpkin dishes…practically anything you make from squashes. We will have raw pumpkins sitting on our dining room floor in March. Prepared and frozen it will last all year. We toast the seeds for a tasty salty snack.

Free food. Every year. Yeah, I sometimes get tired of pumpkin in almost every dish we eat all year long, but then I remind myself that it’s free food.

5. I was looking at them at Wal-Mart yesterday

they are labeled not for human consumption. One of my neighbors has one in his yard on a trailer 2100 pounds, he won first place at a pumpkin festival. What do you do with that?

12. Not orange enough for him

I suspect that where Donnie gets his makeup is by going to Home Depot stores after they touch up the awnings and stealing the leftover paint.
