I’m cool with things that are pumpkin flavored. Pumpkin spice, not so much.
Nothing worse than trying to get a beer that claims to be pumpkin and then ends up just being a mouth full of cloves.
@PocketBrain Since I have been able to buy pumpkin pie spice at the grocery store for years and it has no pumpkin or pie in it, I declare your argument invalid.
Sadly, I saw pumpkin & spice Triscuits in the grocery store yesterday. Why the incessant need to put pumpkin (spice) into everything this time of year?
Trader Joe’s at this time of year looks like a pumpkin explosion. Pumpkin biscotti, pumpkin yogurt, pumpkin cream cheese, pumpkin newton-type cookies, pumpkin spiced coffee, etc, etc, etc. I love this time of year.
@f00l no I’m not. Bandwagon idiots are always gonna buy and eat stuff because the it people say they do. Still shit, just shit with a good pr campaign. Hell there’s idiots taking rat poison to seek enlightenment because because some dead guitarist wrote a song about it.
Halloween was created by the pumpkin industry to sell you more pumpkins than ever! It is even worse than when coca cola created Santa Claus and polar bears!
Don’t fall into the trap! They control us through pumpkins!

fake pumpkin ain’t too bad either, depending on one’s tolerance
Dude sounds like Denis Leary. And pumpkin ain’t all that.

@metaphore Yes!
@metaphore yes. It has to be pumpkin with pumpkin spice flavor. Pumpkin pie flavor would be more accurate.
@awk those should never be scented with anything. I’m glad they are fake.
If we had pumpkin spice flavor all year long, do you think it would be as popular?
@RiotDemon Define your metric. More popular per day of official flavor season, or more total units per annum?
@stinks good point.
I thought more along the lines of would we have pumpkin flavored everything, or would it just be less items that are pumpkin flavored.
Agreed.
Again with the “pumpkin spice.” There’s no pumpkin in it, just nutmeg and cinnamon. When I want salt, I ask for salt, not “french fry spice.”

Pumpkin spice whatever-the-fuck is when we gather together to celebrate our own stupidity. And you don’t want to come?

@sammydog01 Same here. It’s #1678 at WinCo Foods.

If my argument is invalid, then kill all the university marketing departments.
Oh, just kill them anyway. No need for an excuse.
@PocketBrain “Salt” isn’t predominately used to season fries nor was it created for that sole purpose.

@Mystakill because pumpkin is fucking delicious.
Pumpkin spice?

@AnnaB I need to head over there. Biscotti!
Pumpkin!
When the frost
is on the pumpkin,
That’s the time
for dicky-dunkin!
No, it isn’t! If it were, it wouldn’t need cinnamon & nutmeg to make it eatable.
Wholeheartedly agree, pumpkin spice is the best.
Also it’s more than just cinnamon and nutmeg, it also includes ginger, cloves and allspice. Cinnamon/nutmeg is more apple spice.
That little guy dances just like Irk. I wonder if they are related?

@connorbush I see he likes eating beard hair.
pumkin spice will never displace bacon and coffee. or enhance them for thatmatter
@cranky1950
Too late on both.
Sowwy.
<your fav marketing dept flak>
@f00l no I’m not. Bandwagon idiots are always gonna buy and eat stuff because the it people say they do. Still shit, just shit with a good pr campaign. Hell there’s idiots taking rat poison to seek enlightenment because because some dead guitarist wrote a song about it.
@cranky1950
Cranky today?
Perhaps the marketing dept has something for that.
@f00l I’m sure they do,and it’ll have a 2 million percent markup. R&D costs don’tcha know.
@cranky1950
As seen on TV and every web page you visit!
We (the marketing dept) can’t make you buy, but we can make you suffer almost as much without your having to spend a penny!
Hey, you’re welcome. It’s cool. No sweat.
@f00l nah I’m immune, I was a marketing major. Please don’t say 30 days free to my wife though.
@cranky1950
We’ll let you ignore us.
In fact, 1/2 off for 6 months on that offer!
@f00l Throw in a free lifetime service contract and you’re on.

@thismyusername ewwww
Only real problem with this video is it wasn’t nearly long enough!
Pumpkin is disgusting. It’s for hillbillies.
Never had pumpkin or anything pumpkin flavored.
