Jack-o-lanterns. When i was a kid, you advertised you were giving out Halloween treats with a jack-o’-lantern by your door. That’s a lot less popular now.

_Poll ([view on site](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/polls-only-no-discussion/953642/6350))_

For this poll, a fake jack-o’-lantern is made of something that isn’t a fruit or vegetable. Like plastic or ceramic. A real one is a carved fruit or vegetable (probably a pumpkin) with a design (perhaps a face, but other designs count) so that you can see the light inside it through the carving. If it’s just thin, rather than carved all the way through, that counts.
