Rise of the Pumpkin:

Why are so many people obsessed with pumpkin?

Some people believe the pumpkin pandemonium began with the perfectly planned release of the infamous Starbucks coffee drink. Others believe the origins and associations behind this oddly-shaped orange squash go a lot further back than just one coffee company.

The pumpkin craze began in the early 19th century when Americans began to move away from the rural life to the city. Cindy Ott, a professor at Saint Louis University College of Arts and Sciences, published a book entitled Pumpkin: The Curious History of an American Icon, in which she studied the beginnings of America's pumpkin obsession. She claims that many Americans didn't buy pumpkins for the taste or the nutritional value of it. Instead, they bought them for the feeling a pumpkin arouses. She says, "It's a vegetable that represents this idyllic farm life, and the best sort of moral virtue. And Americans have become attached to that ...[With the pumpkin] We're celebrating the nostalgia for this old fashioned, rural way of life, that no one ever really wanted to stay on, but everyone's always been romantic about."

In current years, the pumpkin is now associated with the transition into autumn. In a survey of the four seasons, fall came out with an average of 29 percent, making it the most preferred season by Americans. With more people loving everything that fall promises, it's more likely that people will be drawn to pumpkin products to elicit those fall feelings and nostalgic memories of carving pumpkins.

Although many brands and companies have created unique and tasty pumpkin-flavored creations, some companies seem to be struggling to create pumpkin products that will fly off the shelves. Have some companies taken the pumpkin spice revolution a little too far?

What dog would even care if it's pumpkin spice flavored or not? It's a giant bone. That right there will get their mouths watering enough. This seems to be a product made more for the dog owners' satisfaction than the actual dogs'.

On the website, they claim it goes perfectly with sweet potatoes and yams ... not sure how I feel about that.
