TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD: There is a new champ for Heaviest Pumpkin In America
It’s pumpkin season and farmers all over have been trying to grow the heaviest pumpkin for months now.
On Monday a 2,560-pound pumpkin was entered into a contest at a fair in California. It won and was officially declared the heaviest pumpkin in U.S. The guy who grew it is from Minnesota and drove all the way out west just to submit it.
The largest pumpkin ever grown by a Connecticut resident was a 2,294 pound pumpkin last year grown by a guy named Alex Noel from Northeast part of the state
A lot of farmers say the drought this year has lead to pumpkins growing smaller than usual or cracking as they get bigger. So maybe next year we can get a Connecticut pumpkin to break that record.

MUNDANE MYSTERIES: What does PEZ stand for?
I realize this is something I should already know living less than twenty minutes from the PEZ HQ in Orange. What does PEZ mean?
The name PEZ comes from the German word for peppermint, “PfeffErminZ” which I’m not even going to attempt to pronounce.
They took the P from the first letter, E from the middle and Z from the last letter to form the word PEZ. Much easier to say. Then in 1952, PEZ came to the United States. By 1973 PEZ had arrived here in Connecticut to open their first candy manufacturing facility in Orange, CT!
