It’s that time of year where pumpkins are everywhere from faux ones on every shelf in your house, to competitions like “pumpkin chunkin” and the gigantic pumpkin weigh-off contests!
Out in California, engineer Brandon Dawson came back for revenge after losing the World Championship Pumpkin Weigh-Off in Half Moon Bay last year by just six pounds. Using the precision and expertise of a true engineer, Dawson channeled his inner pumpkin pro and grew a gourd so colossal, you could probably live inside it (kind of like a potato – right, Free Beer?)
The pumpkin weighed in at a massive 2,346 pounds, winning Dawson the 52nd iteration of the competition and a $20,000 prize!
