No one loves pumpkin flavored sweets more than me when Fall rolls around. I absolutely live for my Mom’s pumpkin pie on Thanksgiving, and I love the pumpkin ice cream at Marble Slab. I even make a pretty mean pumpkin cookie with cinnamon frosting, so naturally, I’ve done my research on everything pumpkin spice.
Yummy Fall Treats
Since the advent of the pumpkin spice latte, people have started to really take advantage of our obsession. It seems like everything we already loved took a turn for the festive and was suddenly offering a version filled with pumpkiny goodness, such as the following:
Classic PSL
Candles
Cheerios
Godiva
Cookie Straws
Products That Have No Business Being “Pumpkin Spice”
While some of the brands and products have gotten the whole pumpkin thing spot on, others have gone a little over the top. The pumpkin spice craze has touched some things that are honestly better off as their original versions.
Protein Powder
Tortilla Chips
Pumpkin Spice Chips (Like chocolate chips, but they look like pumpkins and taste like fake pumpkin flavoring)
Roasted Garbanzo Beans
Fettuccini
Pringles
Burnett’s (Now come on, this is just making a bad thing worse)
