The Best And Worst Pumpkin Spice Foods You Can Get This Fall

For some, fall is a season of colorful leaves, apple picking, football games, and cozy sweaters. For others, it's a solid three months where it's socially acceptable to revive their obsession with all things pumpkin spice. The pumpkin spice craze doesn't just stop with the PSL at Starbucks; it's everywhere, from delicious sounding things like pumpkin spice Oreos and cupcakes, to less appealing foods, like pumpkin spice-flavored salmon (uh, ew?). Here's a list of the best and worst pumpkin spice products out this season.

Best:

1. Pumpkin Spice Milano cookies

Just when we thought Milano cookies couldn't get any better. 10/10 would recommend these.

2. Pumpkin Spice granola

Channel your inner hippie health nut with this pumpkin-flavored granola that tastes absolutely awesome. Pairs perfectly with pumpkin spice Greek yogurt, too.

3. Pumpkin Spice kettle corn

I'm not sure who thought of this, but major props to them, because it's impossible to stop eating once you open the bag.

4. Pumpkin Spice Ghiradelli chocolates

Everyone thought salted caramel and chocolate was a weird combination at first, and look where we are now. Just give these a try, I promise you won't regret it.

5. Pumpkin Spice almonds

These are SO good, and healthy too! Yay for almonds!

6. Pumpkin Spice Pillsbury cinnamon rolls

Pillsbury cinnamon rolls are already amazing, and these ones add in a little pumpkin flavor to get you into the fall spirit.

7. Pumpkin Spice cookie butter

Okay, this is actually life changing. I got a jar of this last year from Trader Joe's and finished it probably within less than two days. Even if you don't like regular cookie butter (and if you don't, what is wrong with you?), there's a 99.9% chance you'll become obsessed with this, along with the rest of the world.

8. Pumpkin Spice cream cheese

Sounds weird, but tastes awesome. And goes well with the pumpkin spice bagels and English muffins that are popping up in grocery stores.

9. Pumpkin Spice Toaster Strudel

These are sort of like little pumpkin pie turnovers, but for breakfast, and require no effort other than putting them in the microwave and drizzling on that incredible icing.

10. Pumpkin Spice Latte

And, of course, the mother of all pumpkin spice products. If you don't go to Starbucks for a PSL wearing your riding boots and a flannel, is it even fall?

Worst:

1. Pumpkin Spice Jell-O

Wiggly, orange, pumpkin Jell-O? Hard pass.

2. Pumpkin Spice hummus

Ew. Chickpeas and pumpkin are not the next chocolate and peanut butter.

3. Pumpkin Spice milk

This is one of the times pumpkins definitely should not be mixed with dairy. *swipes left*

4. Pumpkin Spice sausage

Seriously, who in God's name thought this would be a good idea? Just lost my appetite for a few days.

5. Pumpkin Spice kale chips

Kale chips are already the bane of the non-ultra healthy crowd's existence. Don't make it any worse.

6. Pumpkin Spice Listerine tabs

Do people actually WANT their breath to smell like pumpkins? Stick to the mint, please.

7. Pumpkin Spice vodka

This honestly sounds traumatizing. Life hack: make it even worse and whip up some Jell-O shots with that pumpkin spice Jell-O.

8. Pumpkin Spice salsa

Just no. Also no to the pumpkin spice tortilla chips people are trying to sell.

9. Pumpkin Spice fettuccine

Italians would be ashamed of us. What a disgrace.

10. Pumpkin Spice Pringles

Potato chips should never be pumpkin flavored. NEVER.

And these are just the edible things. Don't even get me started on the pumpkin spice eyeshadow, pumpkin spice shampoo, and pumpkin spice condoms and tampons (literally, WHY) that are being put out onto store shelves this month. Also, when you think about it, what even is pumpkin spice? Whoever invented this mysterious thing must be making serious bank right now.

1. When course schedules are released and you have a conflict between two required classes.

Bonus points if it is more than two.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

As an English Major in college, I have a lot of writing and especially creative writing pieces that I work on throughout the semester and sometimes, I'll find it hard to get the motivation to type a few pages and the thought process that goes behind it. These are eleven thoughts that I have as a writer while writing my stories.

April Ludgate

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
