Seasonal Flavored Products I Don't Like Must be Stopped

Re: Pumpkin Spice Products Must be Stopped

It's because the spices assault the senses, man.

Exactly. Why complain about something that doesn't personally affect or harm you? What's the point?

I'd rather this than thead-bombs that totally miss the point.

Just the very sight of the exact same thing everywhere, on all kinds of products, can be annoying. That's why.

Exactly.

Nobody here seriously thinks they're being forced to buy any of this shit, but we can still complain about the oversaturation if we feel like it.

Yet... you are not being harmed or affected by it in any meaningful way. That's like me complaining about the oversaturation of water in a sponge. Who cares?

To say that we can't ever complain about something unless it personally affects or harms us, does not appear to make a ton of sense to me...

Who said you can't complain about anything? I don't see anyone censoring you.

Try also to remember: having people point out that what one might complaining about is dumb and foolish is a completely different thing than being outright censored.

Hey tharpdevenport, in honour of you and this thread, I made pumpkin spice cookies yesterday.

Since you dislike pumpkin spice so much, I obviously don't have to worry about sending you any, but thanks for the inspiration regardless!

Thanks. Those will look really good in the trash two weeks later after nobody has eaten any (well, side from you).

I could go for a couple of those, since they are real food and undoubtedly taste a million times better than pumpkin spice Oreos.

I could live without the frosting, but fresh from the oven spiced cookies? Mmm.

You can send me those any time! They look delicious, Avro Arrow!

Thanks!

Yesterday, they finally had Pumpkin Pie Spice coffee creamer in the store. It was satisfying to sip my favorite coffee this morning...

Ooh, I didn't know this was a thing! I'll have to check and see if this is available up here, and try it out if so. Their chocolate mint truffle is incredible. OTOH, their Cinnabon flavour... well, let's just say I grew to like it before the bottle was finished, but it was certainly an acquired taste!

Maybe I should try to make pumpkin spice cookies this year (low carb, low sugar of course)!

That's why you bring baked goods to work. They'll be gone in an hour.

Alton Brown threw up his pumpkin spice recipe. I think I'd rather add this to stuff I make rather than buy sickly sweet processed ... stuff.

You know what's good? Pumpkin bread with cream cheese.

Yeah, that could feasibly happen! (Not really... I'd probably make myself sick by eating them all before I threw them out! )

That's, um, one of the more unfortunate phrasings I've seen around here lately...

Had a great pumpkin spice cake doughnut yesterday. They were not shy with the spice which made it all the better.

Too warm to have a PSL today. Tomorrow should cool off and I'll make up and have two.

One for me. One for Tharpy.

Maybe Tharpy would like one of these with his latte:
