www.guinnessworldrecords.comThis record is for the heaviest pumpkin (Cucurbita pepo). This record may be attempted by an individual. This record is measured in kilograms (kg) (to the nearest 0.001 kg), with the equivalent imperial measurements also given in pounds (lb) and ounces (oz). For the purpose of this record, a pumpkin is a cultivar of winter squash that is round with smooth, slightly ribbed skin, and most often deep yellow to orange in coloration. The name is most commonly used for cultivars of Cucurbita pepo , but some cultivars of Cucurbita maxima , C. argyrosperma , and C. moschata with similar appearance are also sometimes called "pumpkin". For the purpose of this record, a pumpkin will not include any squash classified as 100% of the following colours or colour combinations: green, blue, and grey.
I wonder what becomes of it afterwards.
If memory serves they either go home with the entrant, or get donated to be used as animal feed. They arent very good pumpkins for, like, human pumpkin stuff. You could carve them I guess, but they aren’t good eating pumpkins.
🤨
I’ve been on the internet long enough to know not to rule out any ….uses… for anything.
I did mean eating, carving, and using for crafts/decoration, though. For stuff like that, they aren’t much good. You can make some of them into very temporary boats, though. That’s also human stuff, but they aren’t very good boats, either :)
Pie lmao
Pumpkin fuckers have their way with it.
And then after it has been thus seasoned, it’s time to eat.
If you ever wondered where the spice in pumpkin spice comes from…
More like PUMPIN’ spice, amirite?
One of the big pumpkin influencers (I know…) I follow on YouTube shows them turned into boats for a pumpkin boat race, and then drop them onto things with a crane. They are allowed to collect seeds first iirc. Then the scraps are fed to pigs.
They hollow it out and make it into a caravan.
