Yea they do, and the things are so plentiful they almost give em away. I ate some while I was there and it doesn`t really have a taste so they usually usually put cinnamon in it

Root beer is Lurvely, I rue the day Maccy D's stopped selling it, gotta be the best thing they did.

I like pumpkin, roasted around meat with potatos and parsnips, very nice.

Pumpkin pie is lovely, haven't had it for ages though. Roll on october.

Best use for them is blowing them up with fireworks, that rules.

A group of us were in the US for Thanksgiving a few years back. The main meal was great, and then they brought the pumpkin pie out. Very disappointed, tasteless mush. Our hosts were a little put out that none of us wanted seconds, but I'd be in no rush to try it again.
