As green withers to shades of yellow and brown and the cool summer night weather begins to linger throughout the days, people prepare to indulge in all of the festivities and annual rituals that come with the season of fall.

To fuel their autumnal fire, many fall enthusiasts rely on the seasonal provisions that nature has provided for us during the coming months. Chefs everywhere get to work as witches do when they prepare their cauldron to create new potions, attempting to incorporate their favorite traditional autumnal flavors into pastries, coffee, and the like for the masses to consume. From apple cider to sweet potatoes, a perfume of exciting and new things to immerse the palette emerge to help us get into the spirit of the season.

Although there are many flavors that fall enthusiasts enjoy during the season of autumn, there is one in particular that stands alone. The Beyonce of Autumnal flavors, pumpkin spice has become not only a staple fall taste, but an icon in its own right. People everywhere line up and wave their money just to take a picture with the famous limited-time-only flavor. When fall arrives, Snapchat, Instagram, and Facebook feeds become flooded with Starbucks cups and basic pumpkin spice hash tags.

Pumpkin spice, however, does not stop at coffee and pastries. With every passing fall, it seems as though more and more things are becoming "pumpkin-spiced" for a limited time. Oreos, potato chips, gum, cream cheese, pasta, and even hummus nowadays can be found in the ever-enticing flavor.

I am one of the few people left on earth who does not enjoy most pumpkin spice flavored things (am I the only one who thinks it tastes the way a candle should?). And while I try and try again to try to hop on the bandwagon, I just can't understand why people seem to be practically inserting pumpkin-spice IVs into their veins (I'm kidding, but honestly, they would if they could).

Since I am not a huge fan, I am often left on the outside looking in, wondering what the fuss is all about. With all of these pumpkin spice infused products, I must be missing out on something. But even so, I can't be the only one who thinks that the craze is getting out of hand. Even someone who enjoys pumpkin spice can't really find pleasure in it being a hummus flavor, can they?

Maybe I'm wrong, but I think there can be too much of a good thing. While I do believe that there is definitely a reason that pumpkin spice has won over the hearts of many, it should not be infused into everything and anything that is edible. There are just certain things that should not be pumpkin-spiced.

I am not completely against pumpkin spice, so please don't send the skeleton army to come and take me out. I'm just arguing that I don't think it's necessary to put it in my hummus. It is important to do all things in moderation, and to maybe give the other autumnal flavors a chance this holiday season.

Apples could use some love too (again, maybe not in my hummus).
