I recall once texting my friend a pumpkin pun so awful, she threatened to unfriend me (she didn’t, but she did send me an eye-roll emoji).
The reality is, whether you’re wanting to spice up your Instagram captions, make your kids laugh until they snort, or just need a snappy comeback for that friend who thinks they’re the pun master, pumpkin puns are the answer.
So grab your favorite fall beverage, get warm, and let’s dive into this gourd-geous assortment that’s about to make your autumn absolutely vine.
