Why is it that for two months of the year we get bombarded with pumpkin spice everything? It’s bad enough that eggnog starts showing up in September.
Pumpkins aren’t spicy. Pumpkin pie is gross. Yes, even if you like it, it’s gross. When you carve a pumpkin, what do you do with everything inside it? You compost it, as nature intended. I may grant an exception for pumpkin seeds if enough salt is involved.
Is that perhaps what pumpkin spice is? Just adding lots of salt to anything vaguely pumpkin-y? I could possibly get on board with this.
Pumpkin spice is inescapable. It’s everywhere. Someone is probably selling Pumpkin Spice Socks.
Anyway, down with pumpkin spice. Up with hot cocoa.
And only 256 days until next summer, WHERE THERE IS NO PUMPKIN SPICE.
Yet.
