11 Things That Should Never Have Been Pumpkin Flavored

I get pumpkin spice lattes, but this is completely different.

11 Things That Should Never Have Been Pumpkin Flavored

In the fall, everyone seems to go crazy for pumpkins, and I am all about that. I love pumpkin pie, pumpkin ice cream, and pumpkin scented candles. But there are some things that should never be pumpkin-flavored, and yet, every autumn more and more of them appear on shelves. Here are some of the strangest pumpkin-flavored things, which in my opinion just shouldn't exist.

1. Chewing Gum

Extra evidently has pumpkin spice gum, which is fine and all, but I personally would not want to just continually be chewing on pumpkin gum.

2. Vegetable Snacks

I'm not entirely sure what a vegetable snack is, but I don't think I want one and making it pumpkin spice-flavored isn't going to change my mind.


3. Spoons

Pumpkin spice spoons... I'm really not sure if it's actually silverware or candy or what, but I guess you're supposed to enjoy it with tea. I just don't think we need this.

4. Candy Corn

Let's be real. Candy corn itself is pretty bad, so maybe that shouldn't exist on its own anyway. Pumpkin spice candy corn should probably just not be a thing.

5. Triscuits

I see the serving suggestion has cherries and a piece of cheese on it. I have personally never craved cherries, cheese, and pumpkin all at once.

6. Chili Seasoning

I've never considered making pumpkin spice, well, spicy. And to be quite honest, I don't think it's a possibility I'd like to explore.

7. Milk

I've heard of chocolate and strawberry milk. But in spite of the fact that the carton says "old recipe" on it, I've never before seen pumpkin spice milk.

8. Sparkling Juice

I love sparkling juice, but I can't even imagine pumpkin spice juice. What part of the pumpkin exactly would one even get juice from?

9. Sweet Drops

I can't say I fully understand sweet drops, but they seem similar to sweetener packets. I can't think of any reason I would want my sweet drops pumpkin-flavored, though.

10. Bath Bombs

Bathing in pumpkin spice-flavored water sound completely unappealing and very, very sticky. I would feel unclean.

11. Dog Shampoo

I cannot make this stuff up. There is such thing as pumpkin spice dog shampoo. In case it wasn't already hard enough to bathe your pet, add in pumpkin scented shampoo that they will probably assume is food.

10 Signs You Work In A Restaurant

There's always chaos in the restaurant business.

10 Signs You Work In A Restaurant
Brisanis

Working in the restaurant industry is possibly the most fundamentally challenging occupation I have ever experienced when it comes to hospitality and customer service. When you go to a five-star restaurant you expect the time of your life, a two hour getaway, a walk through another time period (rustic Italy, France, Spain, etc), or simply a honeymoon undergo. What you don't see are the behind the scenes scut work: carrying trays, polishing glassware and silverware, kitchen chaos, the list is endless. Now, I'm not saying being a host, server, or bartender is the worst thing in the whole wide world, there are definitely worse things. But the fact of the matter is that it isn't always sunshine and rainbows. In the two years that I have spent in restaurant and customer service, I have spoken my share of expletives, yelled at kitchen staff, and dealt with not-so-happy guests. It isn't easy to keep a bright and shiny smile on your face when all you want to do is choke every person who walks near you. Anyone who has spent even two weeks working in a restaurant understands the rigor and stress that comes with it. Restaurant culture is a tiny world in and of itself that operates on its own principles and creates its own society. It even has its own language. The sayings "runner", "corner", and "on a bus" wouldn't make sense to anyone otherwise. My mother and I both work in a restaurant and the best advice I can give someone going out to eat is to treat us like people. Yes...believe it or not we are people, people. Say "please" and "thank you", or stack your cleared plates before a busser gets to the table. Trust me, the gesture goes a lot farther than you may think.

So, if you work in a restaurant, you can relate with the following points. If not, check out how the brain of a restaurant service (or any customer service) worker actually works. See if you can identify any crazy weird habits your friends have a tendency to partake in.

One of the scariest things we will ever face in our life is going to college. Many of us move away to a new town, join new organizations, and make new friends. We are expected to study, have a social life, relationships, maybe work, and be healthy. It seems pretty easy to do, and in high school all we wanted to do was graduate and move on to this next chapter of our lives. If you are in high school, here are some things that you can learn from before you get to college. If you have already been through your freshman year of college, hopefully you can relate to the things I have learned in college.
