There's nothing more American than growing massively oversized produce, stuffing it with candy, and dropping it from a crane.
At the Stillwater Harvest Festival in Minnesota this weekend, a pumpkin set the record for the largest in North America, clocking in at 2,185 pounds. But the real show winners were some of the "smaller pumpkins."

A few losing pumpkins were carefully stuffed with about 100 pounds of candy, lifted using a crane and dropped from 100 feet, much to the enjoyment of the kids in attendance. As you would expect, the sugar-hungry kids rushed to the scene of the sweets.
Two other massive pumpkins were also dropped into a kiddie pool, according to the Stillwater Current.
And boy, do Americans love smashing pumpkins. At the Conneaut Lake Park Pumpkin Festival in Pennsylvania, a massive pumpkin was dropped onto a delivery truck in 2014.
A representative for the Stillwater Harvest Festival did not immediately respond to Mashable's request for comment.
