With the cold weather coming in, there were a few things we were all waiting for and they were pumpkin flavored everything, comfy sweaters, bonfires, and long sleeves. Basically, everything awesome happens in the fall, including the Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte, the pumpkin spice drink that started it all. Because other products and companies happen to exist among Starbucks, they wanted to take advantage of this pumpkin spice addiction that seems to have swept the nation. So although pumpkin spice is probably more popular than both the presidential candidates put together, here are a few examples of things that are pumpkin spice flavored that maybe shouldn't be.
The worst....
1. Pumpkin Spice Wine
The California Fruit Wine Co. created this monstrosity. All I'm saying is I will be sticking to pink Moscato no matter the season.
2. Pumpkin Spice Latte Peeps
Not that I usually enjoy these, but I wish these would stay in the Easter season where they belong. Stay in your lane peeps. A large marshmallow that is flavored to taste like pumpkin spice is not my go to candy.
3. Chipotle Pumpkin Salsa
This one is a very big problem for me. I question first of all, who thought of this, and second of all, who approved it? Salsa and pumpkin freak me out, so if I'm wrong about this and someone has tried it and it is secretly delicious let me know, but until then I will continue to have nightmares about it until the season has passed.
4. Pumpkin Pudding Toothpaste
I wish I could say that this is a joke, but it is not. Breath Palette has created this, and for six dollars and eighty cents, you can have pumpkin breath all morning. That is unfortunate and that is all I have to say.
That's enough of the gross, now on to the glorious. Pumpkin spice doesn't have to be only in coffee form!
The best...
1. Krusteaz Pumpkin Spice Pancake Mix
This is what I want every morning of my life for the rest of my days. Whoever thought of this deserves endless promotions.
2. Godiva Pumpkin Cheesecake Truffles
Okay, this is pumpkin cheesecake, not pumpkin spice, but come on this sounds delicious. Godiva chocolate is always dangerous but this is a whole new level. I will definitely be seeking these out.
3. Sara Lee Pumpkin Cheesecake
Because I mentioned pumpkin cheesecake chocolate, I couldn't simply ignore the thought of actual cheesecake. Do I think I could successfully make this? No, but do I think I could happily eat this if someone made it for me? Yes, and that is what this list is about.
4. Pumpkin Spice Nutri-Grain Breakfast Bars
At first glance, this almost went on the gross list, but after some thought, I feel like this could be really good.
There you have it! Pumpkin Spice has taken over the world and with that being said why not let a flavor be president? I think it could win the vote even with the few hiccups with wine and toothpaste options.
