Your favourite orange carving veg has a fruity new foe—and the internet approves.
There's a new carved out piece of rotting produce in town lighting up your Halloween festivities this year, and online critics are unanimous—the pineapple jack-o'-lantern is infinitely cooler than its pumpkin predecessor.
Traditionally pumpkins, or even turnips, were the lantern of choice for Halloween buffs, but a flurry of Instagram snaps favouring the hollowed-out pineapple points to a deliciously tropical new trend.
While North Americans have already bid farewell to summer, Aussies are in the perfect, beachy climate to embrace the new tropical-leaning Hallow's Eve tradition.
Fashionable snappers have been adorning Instagram with their hipster-tastic pine-o'-lantern creations.
Some of the pine-o'-lantern offshoots are even more delicious than the fruit itself.
If you're still not converted to the pineapple possibilities, just think of all the delicious uses for your pineapple guts.
