Ditch the pumpkin this year. Go exotic and carve a pineapple. The pineapple Jack-O’-Lantern is gaining ground each year as people look for alternatives to the boring old pumpkin. The pineapple is more like the prickly cousin of the pumpkin with a punk hairdo.
Did you know? The original jack-o’-lanterns were carved from turnips, potatoes, or beets.
Fun Fact: The name of jack-o’-lanterns comes from an Irish folktale about a man named Stingy Jack.
