Pumpkin spice flavor is everywhere and in latte and cupcake form it’s pretty darn delicious but sometimes people take the fad way too far. We rounded up six pumpkin spice flavored things that we certainly didn’t ask for.
Pumpkin Spice Hummus
It’s everything hummus is with a splash of pumpkin spice flavor. I’m certain the creators of such a thing had their heart in the right place but it sounds gross and uncalled for.
Pumpkin Spice Gum
Is nothing safe from the pumpkin spice phenom? Most people chew gum for fresh breathe and I’m hoping that this flavored gum doesn’t have the taste of mint to it as mint and pumpkin doesn’t sound like a match made in heaven.
Pumpkin Salsa
Salsa is usually served as an appetizer or snack alongside some tortilla chips. Could you imagine dipping in a chip to be surprised by pumpkin flavor? Pumpkin salsa just sounds wrong.
Pumpkin Spice Oreos
Oreos come in an array of flavors and pumpkin spice latte flavored Oreos recently joined the party. They seem like the most tolerable things on this list but still a solid no. Enjoy your pumpkin spiced latte with a side of pumpkin spiced latte cookies and call it pumpkin spiced inception.
Pumpkin Spice Bagels
Bagels are usually topped with butter or jam and I can’t think of any jam or butter that pairs well with pumpkin spice flavored bagels.
Pumpkin Spice Dog Treats
Why did we have to put our furry friends into this? Some people are subjecting their four legged pals to pumpkin spice dog treats because humans loving them wasn’t good enough.
Remember the days before pumpkin spice was a thing and we thought pumpkin pie was progress? I can’t imagine what’s next when it comes to the flavor phenom. What’s the worst pumpkin flavor thing you’ve seen or tasted? Put in the comments below.
