Best Halloween Candy Carriers

If your youngster is looking to maximize his or her candy score this year, give them a pillowcase instead of one of those cute trick or treat buckets. My Science Project, who did the pumpkin experiment we linked to yesterday, has also done a scientific look at candy carrying apparatuses and has found that pillowcases are the way to go for maximum candy loading. Of course, if your kiddo isn’t strong enough to carry up to forty pounds of candy, size might not matter in the long run.

Maximizing Pumpkin Longevity

Ever wonder how to prolong your beautiful jack-o-lantern from becoming a pile of mush? My Science Project has taken a fascinating look at common remedies for pumpkin preservation and found that applying bleach and Pumpkin Fresh are the two best means for preservation, but that applying nothing to the pumpkin can also be a safe option. I only wish they tried WD-40, which was suggested by Extreme Pumpkin master Tom Nardone.
