7 Signs Our Pumpkin Spice Obsession Has Gone Too Far

It may have started out innocent, but we might have taken it too far.

7 Signs Our Pumpkin Spice Obsession Has Gone Too Far

Many of us can agree that pumpkin-spiced flavored foods can be a delicious way to celebrate autumn. After all, how else would we know that summer is drifting into fall if we don’t see Pumpkin Spice Lattes on the menus at Starbucks? By looking at the leaves change? Feeling the temperature cool? Of course not.

However, with all of the wonderful pumpkin spice foods out there, there are bound to be a few that miss the mark—these are those products.

1. Pumpkin Spice Hummus

Why in the world would anyone need (or want) to eat this flavor of hummus? I understand the savory flavors, but this might be a stretch for anyone who has taste buds. I mean...chickpeas and pumpkin spice?

2. Pumpkin Spice Kale Chips

Again, this is a savory food that doesn’t need a sweet version. Kale is its own fad food beast that doesn’t need to be tackled here, but add pumpkin spice on top of it, and there is some white girl in UGGs Instagramming her heart out about how these are a great post-yoga snack.

3. Pumpkin Pie Spice Peanut Butter

All I can say is how dare you? Peanut butter is the food of the gods, quite possibly in line with chocolate (but better together). What heathen could think that they could capitalize on this pumpkin-spice fad by defacing such a beautiful, delicious food? What did peanut butter ever do to you?

4. Pumpkin Spice Listerine Strips

In my experience, the purpose of Listerine was to get the taste of food out of your mouth and make it fresh and clean tasting and smelling. How does this product come remotely close to accomplishing that?

5. Pumpkin Spice Bud Light

At first, I was hoping that this was a joke. Thankfully, it was, along with a number of other made-up items such as tampons and Chipotle burritos.

6. Pumpkin Spice Chicken Sausage

Um...I’m just going to leave this here.

And finally, the fact that Adam K. Raymond could spend two weeks eating exclusively pumpkin spiced-flavored foods just goes to show that there might be more options than we need out there on the market.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
