Every October, farmers across the US harvest millions of pumpkins. Some make it to the dinner table in the form of delicious soups or pies. Others get transformed into spooky jack-o'-lanterns. Then there are the select few whose only purpose is to win weigh-off contests. There are numerous such competitions held nationwide. However, the most impressive mega gourds typically end up at the annual "Super Bowl" of pumpkin weigh-offs in Half Moon Bay, CA.

          I think there were scientists that used genetic thingies to make it huge. I bet there are chemicals in it that aren't good for you.

                      the seeds are probably normal sized but they would just have a LOT more
