21 Perfectly Ordinary Items That Have Been Pumpkin Spiced to Death ...

In addition to such dubious flavors as Cinnamon & Sugar and White Chocolate Peppermint, Pringles introdued Pumpkin Pie Spice chips a few years ago. Opinions ranged between “omg, ew,” “meh,” “wtf,” and enjoyment, oddly. They were certainly an acquired taste – and that taste was acquired by so few people that I'm pretty sure they (hopefully) stopped making these.

Oreos are no longer the institution we once knew and loved. The brand keeps coming up with new flavors, some of which are delicious and some of which … aren't. In my personal opinion, Pumpkin Spice Oreos are just … too much. Too much pumpkin, too much spice, too much sugar. Your mileage may vary.

Not just pumpkin spice, either. Pumpkin spice latte. Didn't M&M's learn their lesson with those awful birthday cake monstrosities?

As if Peeps weren't bad enough on their own. Isn't it enough that these malformed marshmallow monsters come around at Easter? Do they have to invade the fall, too?

This is a travesty. I haven't ever tried these and I don't want to because Fudge Stripes are supposed to have fudge.

So never mind that you could just make your own pie filling with canned or fresh pumpkin. I suppose it could be worse, though. They could actually come out with pumpkin spice jello.

Butter. They have pumpkin spice butter.

Yeah, it's not all food. Pumpkin spice has now invaded every aspect of commerce. You can powder your body with it.

So this happened, apparently. I don't know, I guess it could be good, but I only ever buy kale to feed it to my rabbit so I wouldn't really know.

I guess pumpkin and peanut butter would be okay, but this is a mix of maple butter and pumpkin spice flavors, and it's just the worst.

So … I kind of get this. Candy corn is one of the most detested Halloween candies ever. I can imagine the marketing team having a brainstorming meeting wherein they decide it makes perfect sense to sell pumpkin spice flavored candy corn. “It'll fly off the shelves! Let's double the orders!”

Don't let the name fool you. This is pumpkin spice body spray.

The Farmers' Market brand jumped on the pumpkin bandwagon as well. Who doesn't want to lather up in the shower and come out smelling like Thanksgiving dinner?

Like … I kind of get the idea behind this one too. Butternut squash ravioli and similar pasta dishes are super popular during the fall season, especially among the farm-to-table set. That being said, no. Just no.

I'm not a big drinker, but I'm not a teetotaler or anything. Still, thinking about doing a shot of pumpkin flavored vodka triggers my gag reflex.

Ditto. Fortunately this is seasonal and doesn't always show up on store shelves, but when it does, New England ends up getting triple visitors – some come for the leaves, some come for Halloween in Salem, and some come for the seltzer.

I'm not a big fan of hummus anyway, so I don't know, maybe pumpkin spice is an acceptable flavor. I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that it tastes awful, though.

Remember how Milano cookies used to be sacred and the only appropriate tweak involved adding more chocolate or maybe some mint? Pepperidge Farm remembers but they pulled this ish anyway.

I don't even want to live on this planet.

I'm not kidding. This is deplorable.

Okay. Okay, call me basic. I admit it, I like pumpkin beer. Shipyard Pumpkin is my favorite, but Shock Top is pretty good, too. There's no accounting for taste.

What does it for you? Everybody likes something pumpkin spice, I'm convinced. 'fess up.
