20 Pumpkin Spice Products That Test Society's Limits

It's that time of the year again. The time where businesses aggressively market pumpkin products. The time where there are no limits. Some are hits, some are misses.

1. Whey Blend

I do appreciate this breaking the basic white girl stereotype. I honestly didn't know whey blends had flavors.

2. Pudding

Can we talk about how amazing this is? It's a pumpkin pie without the need to bake. I don't have time to bake. I don't even have an oven.

3. Beef Jerky

This is the most offensive thing I've ever seen online.

4. Buttery Spread

This really changes the bagel game.

5. Hummus

I don't know much about Mediterranean/North African/Middle Eastern cultures, but I feel like this is an unconventional flavor to dip raw vegetables or pita chips in.

6. Peeps

Peeps suck. They really do. It's a gelatinous sugar covered in more sugar. Nothing can save it, not even pumpkin spice.

7. Mini-Wheats Cereal

I really don't see a better way to get my whole grains in for the day than with this cereal.

8. Milk

The only way to earn my respect is to pour this into your pumpkin spice Mini-Wheats.

9. Coconut Milk

The second way to earn my respect is to pour this into your pumpkin spice Mini-Wheats.

10. Oreos

Freshman year, my aunt sent me these in the mail. I offered one to a guy on my floor and he refused because he "isn't a basic white girl." I'm still not over this.

11. Sausage

There are many unappetizing things on this list but I am truly disgusted.

12. Spice

Isn't pumpkin spice just cinnamon and nutmeg? I don't understand.

13. Bisque

"Bisque" makes me think of lobster bisque and the thought of lobster combined with pumpkin is making me dry heave.

14. Some Spread and Peanut Butter Hybrid Thing

I want to bathe in this.

15. Pringles

Pringles has also sold grilled shrimp flavored chips so this is pretty tame in comparison.

16. Salmon

A fish died to be disrespected like this.

17. Moustache Wax


To set the season for No Shave November.

18. Fries

I mean honestly why not? Salmon is on this list. We have no boundaries anymore. Nothing is sacred.

19. Kale Chips

Just because you can, doesn't mean you should.

20. Four Loko

Mistakes know no season.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
