7 Signs Our Pumpkin Spice Obsession Has Gone Too Far

It may have started out innocent, but we might have taken it too far.

7 Signs Our Pumpkin Spice Obsession Has Gone Too Far

Many of us can agree that pumpkin-spiced flavored foods can be a delicious way to celebrate autumn. After all, how else would we know that summer is drifting into fall if we don’t see Pumpkin Spice Lattes on the menus at Starbucks? By looking at the leaves change? Feeling the temperature cool? Of course not.

However, with all of the wonderful pumpkin spice foods out there, there are bound to be a few that miss the mark—these are those products.

1. Pumpkin Spice Hummus

Why in the world would anyone need (or want) to eat this flavor of hummus? I understand the savory flavors, but this might be a stretch for anyone who has taste buds. I mean...chickpeas and pumpkin spice?

2. Pumpkin Spice Kale Chips

Again, this is a savory food that doesn’t need a sweet version. Kale is its own fad food beast that doesn’t need to be tackled here, but add pumpkin spice on top of it, and there is some white girl in UGGs Instagramming her heart out about how these are a great post-yoga snack.

3. Pumpkin Pie Spice Peanut Butter

All I can say is how dare you? Peanut butter is the food of the gods, quite possibly in line with chocolate (but better together). What heathen could think that they could capitalize on this pumpkin-spice fad by defacing such a beautiful, delicious food? What did peanut butter ever do to you?

4. Pumpkin Spice Listerine Strips

In my experience, the purpose of Listerine was to get the taste of food out of your mouth and make it fresh and clean tasting and smelling. How does this product come remotely close to accomplishing that?

5. Pumpkin Spice Bud Light

At first, I was hoping that this was a joke. Thankfully, it was, along with a number of other made-up items such as tampons and Chipotle burritos.

6. Pumpkin Spice Chicken Sausage

Um...I’m just going to leave this here.

And finally, the fact that Adam K. Raymond could spend two weeks eating exclusively pumpkin spiced-flavored foods just goes to show that there might be more options than we need out there on the market.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
