Peter, Peter, pumpkin-eater couldn't breach this orange shell. Instead we tried our Jimmy—and it worked out very well.

Usually, we use the Jimmy for prying. But we're going full Michael Myers and using the Jimmy to stab Pumpkin open.

Even with a convenient handle, the lid is difficult to remove. A mystery adhesive underneath is too strong for our suction cup. And that just sucks.

So we break out our spudger. Jamming it under the lid seems to do the trick(-or-treat).
