Hasta La Gadget!

It’s that crazy time of the year once again. Spooky costumes, haunted houses, bags full of candy, a pumpkin burger from Burger King. Wait, what? That’s right. The Burger King Pumpkin Burger is only available in Japan, and only for a limited time – unless it’s a big hit – then they will just serve it year round and start counting their stacks of money.

I never thought of combining a hamburger with pumpkin before, myself. I’m not sure how that would taste. Guess folks in Japan will soon find out. Starting next Friday, for a limited time only, Burger King Japan customers can buy a seasonal BK Pumpkin Burger.

It consists of two slices of fried kabocha squash (Japanese pumpkin) with bacon, lettuce, a beef patty, and special sauce made from sesame seeds, peanuts, almonds, cashews, and hazelnuts. Wanna give it a try? It’s just 310 to 590 yen (~$4 to $7 USD), plus the cost of a round trip ticket to Japan.

I want to see a pumpkin keg at every Halloween party this month. Seriously, it’s the most festive, tastiest way to spice up the alcohol. Here’s how to make one. More »

I present to you the ultimate power in the Halloween universe. A fully operational Death Star pumpkin. You kids better hold your candy tight otherwise it’s tractor beam will steal your hard earned stash.

This geeky pumpkin was hand painted and it looks like it took a lot of time to get all of that detail. It’s not a real pumpkin, because you wouldn’t want to see a Death star rot after a few weeks. It’s a fake pumpkin painted with UV reactive and glow in the dark paint.

It measures about 7.5″ tall with a 9″ diameter. It was created by Etsy seller LuckyCricketART and will cost you $225 (USD). While that’s a lot of money for a fake pumpkin, I suppose it’s not a bad price at all if you absolutely must destroy Alderaan.
