Nearly 2,Secret Confessions (2025) Week 7 Highlights 40000 spectators gathered in the Canadian city of Saskatoon last weekend to watch one of life's simplest pleasures: giant fruit crushing stuff.
Per CBC News, the city's first-ever Operation Pumpkin Drop was held to raise money for a local pediatric fund. The event featured three gargantuan pumpkins being dropped from a 40-foot crane, which is obviously perfect fodder for the Twitter videos that have been circulating since Sunday.

The third pumpkin was filled with numbered ping-pong balls that were sold to patrons before the event. The person whose ping-pong ball landed closest to a target on the field won the ~grand prize~ (and became the de facto king or queen of the pumpkin drop, to be honest).
The event reportedly raised more than $9,000. Not bad for a bunch of smashed squash.
