As September kicks off, fall is rapidly approaching. The weather will start getting cooler, nights will become shorter, holidays will start to build up one right after another in stores. But there is one special part of fall almost every person goes crazy for: Pumpkin Spice. Pumpkin spice flavored everything.
Pumpkin Spice flavor is disgusting. Have you ever tasted pumpkin? Because it tastes nothing like pumpkin spice. Pumpkin Spice is a special blend of other spices that aren't even pumpkin. Pumpkin Spice is a mixture of cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and allspice. WHERE IS THE PUMPKIN? That's like making a blueberry pie and not using any blueberries.
For the next few months, pumpkin spice will be shoved in every corner and in every drink- so until we can celebrate the end of this season, here is some things every person who hates pumpkin spice will understand.
1. Social media becomes an endless scroll of Starbucks cups and captions rejoicing over making their drinks taste like hot dirt. Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, Instagram- you just can't avoid it.
2. When the barista assumes you want a pumpkin spice latte. After seeing twenty seven people who look exactly the same and order the exact same thing, they tend to catch on to the trend. But no, you do not want to spend $10 on drink that tastes like spicy cardboard.
3. Unnecessary items or food become pumpkin spice flavored for the season. It's worst than when everything was covered in the Minions logo. Pumpkin spice creamer, lip balm, almonds, condoms, potpourri, alcohol, hand soap- UNNECESSARY.
4. When you're friends insist you try a sip because "everyone likes pumpkin spice". You are not everyone and you do not want a sip of flavor blended lies.
5. When someone makes cookies or pastries and you take a bite without knowing it is pumpkin spice flavored and you have to hold it in your mouth until you can find an escape route. You don't want to spit it out right in front of the person who baked them, but you just can't swallow it. Agony. Pure agony.
If tough out here for a non-pumpkin spice lover, but don't worry, the abundance of this fall favorite only means one thing- peppermint flavor everything is almost here!!
