unicorncity3169달Most people didn't know that you could donate them. But, there are people who come around and collect the pumkins in cities that people are throwing away. They use them to cook and bake food for the poor or homeless people. There are even some people who know about this and put money, food, clothes, or even give plots of land to people, and they put this INSIDE OF THE PUMPKINS!! Super cool, right?

hthn459달Same here, I don't like pumpkin. And my mom told me not to waste any food at dinner. So I just figured that I have to take whatever I don't like on my plate or else I'll get grounded. sure enough though, sometimes i don't eat the pumpkin.
