Re: Pumpkin Spice Products Must be Stopped
^ Hey we actually get some of those here! And since I like gingerbread, I have no problem with that!
Of what I've tried recently, a couple of my personal favourites are probably Gingerbread Oreos (of course!) and Gingerbread M&Ms.
I also like gingerbread coffee, but I can see how that could be an acquired taste....

The option I really wanted was "Yes or no, I don't give a damn!"
I think jalapeño cornbread sounds wonderful! Seriously.

...even jalapeño cornbread, for Christ's sake. I mean, who the hell wants spicy cornbread?

It was actually scotpens who put forth that quote but I do find myself agreeing with him.
(srsly, I love cornbread, but not jalapeño...)

Why is Kinder Surprised banned?
They used to be really good but lately the surprises are pretty lameish.
An old friend I used to know had heaps of the Kinder egg toys and I'm talking many years ago now in the 90s you used to get cool planes and trains and stuff.
Yes.
Look on the bright side. We have that inedible Kinder Surprise stuff that's apparently banned in the U.S.Hey, tharpdevenport, if it bothers you that much... consider moving to friendly Canada!
Why Canada misses out on the pumpkin spice craze
Short answer: because we *always* miss out on special food products?
To be fair, though, Timmie's does trot out pumpkin spice lattes every fall, IIRC.
Now I'm imagining a little Fremen boy named Linus, waiting all night in the melange bed, hoping for the Great Pumpkin Worm to come and leave him toys, because he's just the most sincere little Fremen kid who ever lived -
*worm slithers up, opens its maw*
GULP!
- okay, the most sincere little Fremen kid who used to live on all of Arrakis!

Kinder Surprise is only legal in the U.S. if you buy approved domestic Kinder Surprise eggs, or a reasonable facsimile thereof. It's because the U.S. government feels that Kinder Surprise eggs present a choking hazard, and so they banned them.

Re: Pumpkin Spice Products Must be Stopped
Funny how Canadian kids know enough not to eat them. But then there's not really anything at all about Kinder Surprises that is edible, since the "chocolate" tastes like a concoction that's half-plastic, half-wax.
Re: Pumpkin Spice Products Must be Stopped
OMG I never used to eat them at all when younger. I just collected the surprises..

Isn't it just cinnamon and clove and nutmeg? You have that!

Re: Pumpkin Spice Products Must be Stopped
Nope. I like it several things, cookies, loaves, and cake doughnuts to name a few. Don't mess with my coffee, though.

Re: Pumpkin Spice Products Must be Stopped
American kids do too, but I'm just going to hazard a guess that Canada doesn't have the rampant "sue-their-ass" mentality that we do. (Although I believe that toys like this - pretty much any toy, not just Kinder Surprise, that's hidden inside a candy - have been banned in the US since around 1938).

Re: Pumpkin Spice Products Must be Stopped
Maybe not quite as bad... but we're starting to catch up.
(Although in thinking back on it now, my adult self doesn't even go to the choking hazard first... my first thought is that I hope the parents cleaned the coins before putting them in the cake batter!
)

I may be dating myself here, but I remember when we used to go to birthday parties as kids, and the birthday cake would have coins baked inside. I wonder if that kind of thing would fly today?

Re: Pumpkin Spice Products Must be Stopped
Yes, there is a logic to food. Master chefs spend years learning this stuff.
And I say, let's take pumpkin spice beyond the realm of food. Bring on the pumpkin spice soaps, deodorants and colognes!
But seriously, the simple way to avoid all these pumpkin spice flavored things is to eat real, whole foods that you have to prepare yourself, instead of all the chemical-laden processed products that dominate the shelves at typical grocery stores.

Re: Pumpkin Spice Products Must be Stopped
That reminds me of a joke:
I forgot -- they have pumpkin spice frosted cookies, too. They sit there, too many made. Then they go on the for sale cart because they're about to expire and still nobody appears to buy them even at a discount. They're like the new form of Christmas punishment; instead of coal in the stocking, you could put pumpkin spice cookies -- the next year the kid will behave for sure.
