[ oh god, what even is that question........ he probably does deserve this for even entertaining that the pumpkin can taste him... ]

Not that I know what a human even tastes like, but I feel like taste buds or not, the pumpkin itself shouldn't be able to comprehend what taste is. Especially since it's completely hollow in here, so it wouldn't be able to think about it.

[ this is real stupid logic, but he's going for it! ]
