I'd like to to start this off by saying this indisputable fact: I deeply love the fall.

Its my favorite season because of the way it feels, and how cute life seems for a couple months out of the year.

However, I find myself wondering why the start of the fall ignites some kind of gene that is buried deep within our human genetics which makes almost every person become a pumpkin-flavored mess as soon as one leaf falls from a tree.

Believe me, I love seeing the leaves change, going to haunted houses, and sweatshirt appropriate weather just as much as the next person, but for some reason, pumpkin-flavored everything doesn't tickle my peaches.

While I am a fan of pumpkin flavored coffee (Love me a good PSL), other abstract pumpkin-flavored things just confuse me and make me feel like there are pumpkins underneath my bed.

For example- pumpkin spice Pringles, pumpkin spice peanut butter, pumpkin embroidered paper towels, and even pumpkin spice vodka for all you legal people out there.

Now, I'm all for embracing the season, but I feel as if the plain fact that grocery stores have dedicated sections for all of their pumpkin products should tell us something about our society.

Normally, grocery stories have sections for gluten free or special nutritional foods, but in the fall, may all the gluten free people throw caution to the wind and head right over to the pumpkin section for a slice of pumpkin bread.

And for people who don't like pumpkin spice, the fall is the most depressing time of the year.

Everywhere you turn, there are pumpkins, waiting for you to appreciate them.

Take pictures with them, sit on them, rip out their insides and roast them.

Wash your body with pumpkin spice soap, and then dry your hands with a pumpkin spice towel.

And I too am guilty of this.

I'm sure it probably seems like I'm making all of this up, but just head over to your local grocery store and you'll see that I'm not playing a pumpkin game.

I'm not the type of person to kick a pumpkin every time I see one just because I feel as if they are taking over the world, but there's something inside of me that really wonders how far people are willing to take pumpkin spice.

"Yes, her will really says to cremate her with pumpkin spice flavored ashes."
