It all began with a simple Pumpkin Spice Latte from Starbucks, or did it?
As a “basic white girl” myself, I can say that I hadn’t had a lot of exposure to the pumpkin spice flavoring until Starbucks began to advertise their Pumpkin Spice Latte during the fall season. Without fail, myself, along with every other girl and her dog, (yeah, dog), soon began to crave anything with pumpkin spice in the name. Capitalizing on this craze, companies began to create pumpkin spice flavored everything.
Below you will find the most outrageous and downright ridiculous pumpkin spiced edible products. Bon Appetit Collegiettes!
Pumpkin Spice Whey Blend
Because, who doesn’t want to sip some pumpkin-spiced-energy before they get swoll? Feeling crazy? Try mixing it with some pumpkin spice almond milk. #Overload

Pumpkin Spice Kale Chips
I try to eat as heathy as I can, but kale chips were just something I could never get on board with. I mean, as delicious as pumpkin spice flavor kale sounds, (gag), I think I’ll keep my distance. #I’dRatherHaveACookie #TryTooHardFoodie #IsThisEvenHealthy
Pumpkin Spice Hershey’s Kisses
For the pumpkin spice AND chocolate lovers- your prayers have been answered. Grab a bag of these Hershey’s Kisses and satisfy your autumnal sweet tooth. MUAH!
Pumpkin Spice Mini Wheats
If you’re more of a breakfast food person, Kellogg’s has got you covered. Just add milk and you’re halfway to a slurping a PSL right from your bowl! Didn’t your mother always tell you to “eat your Wheaties!”?
Pumpkin Spice Cream Cheese
Or if cereal isn’t your thing, shmear your pumpkin spice bagel (because yes, that is also a thing) with this cream cheese. What do you think Sandy Cohen would say of this delicious madness? #PumpkinOnPumpkinOnPumpkin #BagelLover #TheO.C.
Pumpkin Spice Hummus
“Limited edition? Yes, I must try it,” is usually my motto. Every time I see something new, improved, or limited edition at the grocery store, or for that matter- anywhere, I am all about it. But, not today, and definitely not with this hummus- I like my hummus original and with the promise of a garlic center.
Pumpkin Spice Chewing Gum
Because I definitely want to chew this right after I ate my lunch, or after enjoying my third PSL of the day. It’s definitely going to get rid of the taste in my mouth. #PumpkinFresh
Pumpkin Spice Pasta Sauce
This outrageous food item definitely takes the cake, or maybe pie (pumpkin, of course). Who isn’t in the mood for some pumpkin spice pasta and spaghetti? Nothing like a home cooked meal, right? Does it come with pumpkin spice garlic bread too? Or should we expect pumpkin spice toasted bread? #JustLikeMomMakesIt
If we’ve learned one lesson this seaons, it’s this- if you can eat it- they will pumpkin spice it.
