Re: Pumpkin Spice Products Must be Stopped
No. freaking. way. I thought perhaps you were joking, but it turns out these are quite real. I know our market is only 1/10th the size, but seriously, why do we have to miss out on stuff like this!?
Tharpdevenport, if you really want to cleanse you country of the pumpkin spice scourge, consider airlifting all these products up past your northern border!
Tempting... but we sort of need the products to disappear for part of the year to lull Tharp into a false sense of security, and then next fall... BAM!
Perhaps someone should explain to Len Gigante that pumpkins are actually a food!

Re: Pumpkin Spice Products Must be Stopped
Yeah, my favourite bit is this:
Although I have to say, Gigante has an interesting name in relation to all this pumpkin talk.

Obviously, we don't eat Christmas trees. They aren't food, while pumpkins are.

Send pumpkin spice to Canada? What am I, Isis?
For all I know, pimpkin spice is coming from Canada, hence the song, "Blame Canada!"

Yes. We have the right to do many things that make us look dumb.

I am in amurrica so I thought of this thread. I see someone has already oreo'd me so I won't post that pic. I bought a pack of those to take home. I WANT the peanut butter!!!!!!!!!!!
Had a free one of these yogurts, it was goddam delicious.
I bet if I buy the peanut butter and try and bring it back aus customs will confiscate it because it is nuts. I know someone who had their microwave popcorn confiscated by customs because it was seeds.
But I am hoping to try.

^ That yogurt is really good. Real pumpkin makes a big difference with these things.
I just looked up Australia's Department of Agriculture and Water Resources page. Apparently, even packaged foods have to be declared. But it looks like you can choose to have food products irradiated (at your sole cost, of course).

And how does this make any sense when we hardly have any of those products in Canada in the first place?

Re: Pumpkin Spice Products Must be Stopped
Well, the answer is obvious: it's pumpkin spice. they were wise enough to get rid of it and pawn it off on poor unsuspecting Americans. Kind of like what they did to us with Celine Dion. ;-)

Re: Pumpkin Spice Products Must be Stopped
Which is pretty much it. Like the internet's obsession with bacon (but bacon is delicious in any and all forms) it's taken an obsession with pumpkin spice to a ridiculous level.
Nobody here is saying that pumpkin spice should be banned, or that it's somehow injuring us by its very presence. But Kor is right - even if it doesn't personally affect us, we still have the right to complain about its overuse.
That being said, once holidays like Halloween and Thanksgiving come around, we should expect pumpkin-related products to start showing up. At least where they make sense.

But bacon helped Jim Gaffigan give us this:

I'm seeing a disturbing trend toward pumpkin spice in the voting.

Re: Pumpkin Spice Products Must be Stopped
10 years ago the irradiation was about 80 dollars. People do it who bring in wood from Africa, art etc..
I had no trouble bringing in dried fish last year. But apaz corn kernels will be the death of us all.
Anyway we'll see. I'd imagine if there'd been some salmonella outbreak with peanut butter recently in the US they would also take it away. I hope I can find it and try though.

Problem with that is... well, we still have Celine Dion. She never did go away.

Re: Pumpkin Spice Products Must be Stopped
You poor Canadians.
She's what we call an "international terrorist". Probably likes pumpkin spice, too.
I'm going to pick something up at a store tonight. Hopefully I won't encounter more pumpkin spice.

That was so Phase One. Phase Two is Justin Bieber.
Only one way to be sure... eat the entire jar on the plane on the way back!
