’bout time to talk about a Utah Halloween tradition!
SQUARE PUMPKINS!!!
There’s a local fast food joint known as Arctic Circle, and each halloween season, they break out the Square Pumpkins in the kids meals.
THESE THINGS TOTALLY ROCK!!!

I was a bit disappointed that you can not pop out the pumpkin’s eyes this year to make a swift jack o lantern, but it’s still a square pumpkin.
Yes, ok, it’s obviously a happy meal ripoff…McDonalds could never come up with anything more ‘happy’ to give away than Halloween inspired AWESOME toys.

Normally, they are SOME kind of halloween inspired flashlight. These finger lights, I was a little worried about…but, they are nice, bright, and just as great as always.

So, for those of us here in the mountain west, go grab as many square pumpkins as you can! I gotta make it back to get a few dozen more…wonder if they’ll let me buy JUST the toys again this year.
Those look so cool. I want a square pumpkin and the finger light. I know what I'm having for dinner one night when I'm alone.
I had no idea they were still selling Square Pumpkins. I was in the original 1981 commercial for them.
I remember when the Square Pumpkin actually included real toys and not lame flashlights. It seems like we’ll never see actual toys again from Arctic Circle. Sad. :.(
