WD-40 Ensures Your Pumpkin Will Last This Halloween

I'm serious, WD-40 will keep your pumpkin lasting longer this fall, and even WD-40 is letting you know this, as they state on their website:

After you’re done carving, spray your pumpkin with a light coating of WD-40^_® Multi-Use Product. Not only does it grant extra shine, but the coating will help the pumpkin last a bit longer and delay the onset of decay.

So this year, when you carve those pumpkins, give it a once over with WD-40 to keep your pumpkins fresher longer.

Just a heads up, the product can be toxic to animals so keep that in mind if your yard is visited by wildlife.
