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
Everfest.com

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.

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
