Heard on the news last night that The New Thing this Halloween 2014 is "Pumpkinstein"...pumpkins grown in Frankenstein molds. ![]() They will be in select stores and are expected to sell for $75/apiece. ![]() Nope, it's real. They grow 'em in molds shaped like Frankenstein's head. Apparently, it's pretty tricky stuff, getting the watering and sunlight *just right*. Not enough growth, and they don't fill the mold and don't take the shape; too much growth and they burst right through the mold and you get a mish-mash of a pumpkin. http://www.wjla.com/articles/2014/09/farmer-creates-pumpkinstein-patch-in-time-for-halloween-107444.html Oooops...but $75 is the wholesale price...some retailers will be getting them for $125, so the price-to-the-public will be even higher than that. Still, they're pretty cool! |
