Sorry, but that’s a [pineapple](http://www.google.co.uk/), not a pumpkin. ---

It’s supposed to be a piece of hard candy in a wrapper that looks like a pumpkin. The Google graphic is pretty cool, though. ---

I thought it was kind of meh at first, too. Then I clicked on it. Cute idea. ---

I hadn’t clicked on it either. It’s just like real Halloween, it’s before breakfast and the candy’s already gone. Next year I’m carving a pineapple. ---

They are these types of hard [candy](http://www.friendshiphouse.com/images/company_assets/512f1c7f-0d64-4a5e-9d91-785dc064755f/product_catalog/84CandyStrawberry_bdb4.JPG): which are btw delicious. They’re usually not meant to signify the shape (like the strawberry ones- they don’t really look like strawberries either) ---

That link doesn’t show the 4th click. Each click piled on more and more candy until the last one just had empty used wrappers.
