Re: Pumpkin Spice Products Must be Stopped

^ It's wrong when pumpkin spice is introduced into products where there is no logical REASON to do so. It's a FOOD additive, not Soylent Green.

Just had a thought: In that film, in addition to Soylents Green, Red, Yellow and Blue, there is also Soylent Orange. (The last two can be glimpsed during the food riot scene.) Maybe it really IS pumpkin spice. :lol:

Thanksgiving weekend this year coincides with the advance polls for the current federal election. Some people are making a combination election/Thanksgiving occasion of it... go to the polling station, vote, then go home and eat.

Either way... you end up with a turkey! :lol:

Re: Pumpkin Spice Products Must be Stopped

Forgot to mention that I had a really good pumpkin spice muffin from Tim Hortons the other day. Next time I'm back there, I think I'm going to go for the doughnut! :)

Pumpkin Cream cheese on your Pumpkin Bagel? Pumpkin tortilla chips dipped in pumpkin salsa? These and way too many other taste-tempting Pumpkin-Packed deliciousnesses can be yours at...you guessed it, Trader Joe's!

Click link for an unbelievable line up of Pumpkiness...and crack a nice cold Kennebunkport Brewing Company Pumpkin Ale while you peruse! :)

I bought a half-dozen of Pumpkin Spice Krispy Kreme cake donuts the other day. Got to say, they were actually pretty good.
 
Re: Pumpkin Spice Products Must be Stopped

So I was making my way nicely in the grocery store, no pumpkin spice products in sight. I made the mistake of looking at a display to my left and not only did I see -- but for some inexplicable reason locked my eyes upon, but fucking pumpkin spice-flavored Jell-O.

No. There is no room for this Jell-O. All this pumpkin spice stuff is trying to Cosby me.
 
Re: Pumpkin Spice Products Must be Stopped

I thought of this thread and decided to get myself a pumpkin spice latte. It wasn't bad actually. The pumpkin spice flavor wasn't that strong but it was sweet and creamy. I don't drink coffee since it doesn't make me feel the best but it was an okay treat so I may get another one tomorrow and be done with it. I also have some pumpkin spice cheesecake which I'll be having over the course of the week and I'll get a pumpkin doughnut if my favorite spot makes one.

omg what happened to my post? I had a post with multiple pumpkin spice photos and commentary in it I did yesterday and it has disappeared!
 
Re: Pumpkin Spice Products Must be Stopped

Hmm, I wonder how Pumpkin Spice Whiskey would be.

A restaurant here has been featuring pumpkin spice martinis recently. I can't even describe how gross that sounds to me!

On the other hand, I had some Taharka Brothers pumpkin pie ice cream the other day that was absolutely to die for! Much better than actual pumpkin pie, which I'm not crazy about.

Today I wanted a Quest bar at the mall, and they had "limited edition" pumpkin spice ones, so I decided to give one a try. Bad decision. Really bad.

OMG, I love pumpkin pie. :drool:

I can't say I'm crazy about all this other pumpkin spice crap, but I do understand why it's out there, this being Halloween season and all that.
 
Re: Pumpkin Spice Products Must be Stopped

If I'm going to eat real pie this time of year, I'd rather have sweet potato than pumpkin. But I'd rather have ice cream than either.

In all seriousness, though, sorry that your post disappeared. That sucks. :(

This is probably going to sound weird, because I love pretty much every other pumpkin spice product I've tried... but I'm not really that big a fan of actual pumpkin pie itself, either.

Just out of curiosity, what's a Quest bar? (I know, I know... we have a Google now... ;))

That must be a distinctive American thing as I've never heard of such a thing. I love sweet potatoes and eat them quite frequently, but never heard of it in an actual pie form.
