This past weekend was the first one that felt like fall, which means there was added reason to celebrate. That being being said, there are few things in this world that cure the self-pity of still being hungover on a Monday, so we decided to offer up some pumpkin-themed relief. We left you some cool facts to tell your friends at work today....and don't forget to mention our biscotti while you're at it!
1) The world's largest pumpkin festival takes place in Morton, IL - The self-proclaimed 'Pumpkin Capital of the World.'
2) Jack O' Lanterns were first invented by the Irish. But of course they used Potatoes and Turnips instead of Pumpkins.
3) Pumpkins are 90% water (and tastier than cucumbers)
4) American Colonials originally thought Pumpkins could cure freckles @Ed Sheeran
5) Pumpkins contain high levels of antioxidants and Vitamin A, which justifies why you're taking a third slice of grandma's pumpkin pie
Now that you're ready to have a pumpkin flavored coffee with your favorite flannel shirt, we invite you to use our discount code: PUMPKIN5 for 5% off a pound of our Pumpkin Biscotti! If you haven't tried it yet, this Pumpkin Biscotti is made with pure pumpkin extract, crystalized pumpkin sugar and drizzled with white chocolate.
Enjoy! |
