Did anyone else throw out their back hauling pumpkins this month? Turns out, you could’ve done worse—like the British twin brothers who just grew a pumpkin that could literally squash a car. Get it? 😉
Ian and Stuart Paton broke the world record with a pumpkin nicknamed “Muggle” tipping the scales at a jaw-dropping 2,819 pounds. That’s heavier than a compact car and big enough to make Cinderella jealous!
The brothers have been at it since their teens—five decades of dirt, dedication and dreams of pumpkin glory. Their record-breaker also measured over 21 feet around, proving that sometimes size does matter.
Let’s break it down... that’s...
🎃 935 pumpkin pies (using about 1.5 pounds of pumpkin purée per pie)
☕ 11,000 pumpkin spice lattes (each using roughly 2 ounces of purée) or...
🍞 2,300 loaves of pumpkin bread (at about 10 ounces of purée per loaf)
So basically, “Muggle” could fuel an entire town’s fall festival and every Starbucks in the UK for a day. Forget carving it — this thing belongs in the Great Pumpkin Bake-Off!
