Funkins! - 10/31/2009



Since it's Halloween I suppose I could do a blog about something related to the holiday. Apparently these have been out for a while, but I've never seen them; a plastic pumpkin called a Funkin. A Funkin is basically just a plastic pumpkin that can be decorated better(?) than regular pumpkins. They come in various shapes and sizes and even pre-made "classic" pumpkin carvings. The real up-side is that there is no mess to clean up, other than some plastic pieces, and it can last as long as you want it to. They are also somewhat pricey with a regular sized pumpkin coming in at $20. But hey, if you re-use it the next 10 years then you'll make your money back! Unfortunately it isn't bio-degradable and that could set some people off of it. Now I've seen the foam pumpkins before, and I'm guessing that this is pretty much the same thing, and people can get some really crazy designs with them. Before you know it they'll have pumpkins that can have LED animations programmed into them, with speakers and all. Something along the lines of..."Go to our website to BUY and download new realistic pumpkin animations! It'll be like it's alive!" Ohhh yeah, can't wait.
