Dear Pumpkin Spice whatever...back off till October!

Ahhh… There is nothing like pre-sanctioned misbranding. :stuck_out_tongue: If the powerful pumpkin lobby succeeded in forcing the FDA to recognize squashes as pumpkins, no wonder we are under a Great Pumpkin siege!

Ok, I just walked by a fence plastered with ads for a “Great Pumpkin Beer Fest.” Bleh.

Costco already has its yummy Madi Pantone cake in. I’ve bought 4 so far–1 as a gift, 1 for a party, ate 1/2 of one between H, me and a house guest and had him take it home on the plane. Of course, I had to buy another one for our home. Yum!

I am not buying other things yet for Christmas, but couldn’t resist. I also bought the Halloween pretzels at Costco for an event I had with lots of people.

Depressed that I drove by Walmart last night and saw Xmas trees in their window. Noooooooooo! Let’s enjoy the season that right in front of us.

As soon as school started at the end of August, candy corn replaced binders in the store.

Our grocery store had everything Limoncello for a while, now everything Pumpkin.

While I like pumpkin bread and pie, some of the products seem outrageous. Pumpkin pasta sauce, cheese, really?

My grocery store, the same one pushing the pumpkin spice ham, now is advertising pumpkin spiced salmon. Just no.

That sounds horrible! Right up there with pumpkin spice fajitas.

Anyone want a pumpkin spice shoe? :wink:

I like the shoes better than most pumpkin spice flavored food items. :slight_smile:

Today I was listening to a Satellite Sisters podcast while traveling. One episode mentioned that on their FB page, some members of the group took the time to buy, try and review several “pumpkin spice” items. From Trader Joe’s Pumpkin JoJo’s to that pumpkin spiced ham - the videos are pretty entertaining to watch! If you want to find the FB posting go to the Satellite Sisters FB page and scroll down to an October 5 post. :slight_smile:

Time to revive this thread… just walked out of TJ with pumpkin pasta and pumpkin pasta sauce. Saw Pumpkin Enzyme Mask at Costco - passed that one. :slight_smile:

Y’know, I’ve already started to see the signs and whatnot but at this point I cannot tell what is parody and what isn’t.

I saw pumpkin spiced fabric freshener. Could go either way…

A bicycle shop near me had “Pumpkin Spice Bicycles” on their sign this weekend. I guess they were feeling left out. Made me smile. :slight_smile:

I am not a pumpkin fan but I do buy my dog the pumpkin dog biscuits every fall from Trader Joe’s. I’m a sucker for all the seasonal dog biscuits. I’m sure the dogs don’t care.
I’m going to look for that pumpkin enzyme mask. I have a peter Roth pumpkin face mask I love.

I am not a pumpkin fan either but I though this looked interesting. It’s a pumpkin marble mousse bar.

Saw Christmas items appear on the shelves of our local chain drugstore. It’s ridiculous, they still had clearance Easter candy on the shelves…

Lol. Our Costco has some very beautiful fake trees fully lit up on display! Right next to plastic Halloween witches and large turkey platters. :slight_smile:

Happy Hallowthanksmas!

Pumpkin spice cough drops, anyone? Yup, they exist at CVS.

We have chickens. We have a large pumpkin patch. Donated pumpkins to a local charity. Let the chickens into the area with the remaining, somewhat past prim,e pumpkins. Chicken eggs will take on the flavor of any food they eat in over abundance (yuk if it’s broccoli). I guess we will have Pumpkin Spice Free Range Eggs.

Wonder what the going rate is for such an item.

I can’t even come up with snarky commentary for this.
