10 Pumpkin-Flavored Products That Ruin The Annual Craze

This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at UC Berkeley chapter.

It’s that time of year. The weather starts to drop, and the leaves begin to change colors as we prepare ourselves for the transition to fall. With this shift comes the annual invasion of pumpkin products. We all know and love the classic pumpkin-flavored foods such as pumpkin spice lattés, pumpkin spice muffins and pumpkin pies. However, some have taken this pumpkin trend way too far with these ridiculous products.

1. Pringles Potato Crisps Pumpkin Pie Spice Flavor

We love Pringles and we love pumpkin. Combining the two, however, seems rather questionable.

2. Pumpkin Spice Yogurt

Oh non! While celebrities from Rachael Ray to Jamie Oliver have come up with recipes for this, we can’t imagine the Italians being too happy about it.

4. Pumpkin Pie Vodka

We can already hear liquor connoisseurs protesting.

5. Pumpkin Spice Soymilk

6. Pumpkin Spice Protein Shake

Nothing like a pumpkin spice protein shake to complete your intense workout at the gym, right?

Right?

7. Pumpkin Spice Gumballs

Now presenting the only type of gum that gives you bad breath.

8. Pumpkin Spice Air Fresheners

Perhaps, we would prefer to not wash our hair at all and join the ranks of folks sporting dreadlocks on Telegraph Ave. Perhaps.

10. Pumpkin Spice Body Powder

Once again, why would anyone want to reek of pumpkin spice? Are you trying to scare people away?
