🎃 A LITTLE PUMPKIN HISTORY LESSON!

Did you know the jack-o’-lantern tradition actually started with turnips, not pumpkins?

The tradition originated in Ireland, where people carved scary faces into turnips and other root vegetables. When Irish immigrants came to America, they discovered that pumpkins were bigger, easier to carve, and native to North America — making them the perfect replacement!

And just like that, the orange carving pumpkin became a Halloween icon. 🍂👻

From an old Irish tradition to an American fall favorite, pumpkins have a pretty cool story!
