Grandma Learns the Truth About Pumpkin Spice (1950 vs Today)

Well, hello again, dear. My great-grandson says my videos are too slow, so tonight June is going fast: the pumpkin, then and now. In 1950 a pumpkin was food first, decoration second and fire hazard third. Then came farm stands and Elvis carvings in the seventies, giant pumpkins and battery lights in the nineties, and today... pumpkin spice everything. (Most of it has no pumpkin in it at all.) Tell me in the comments: what did your first jack-o'-lantern look like? Did it have three crooked teeth? 00:00 Grandma June goes viral 01:07 1950 - A pumpkin was food 02:59 1975 - Farm stands and Elvis pumpkins 03:47 1995 - Giant pumpkins and battery lights 04:26 Today - Pumpkin spice everything 05:56 Then vs now Archive film courtesy of the Prelinger Archives (public domain).
