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.
