Fall. The season where every girl get's made fun of for doing "basic fall activities." Since when is it okay to be teased for going to a pumpkin patch? Or to wear sweaters and boots while drinking a pumpkin spice latte? Which brings me to my next point: the pumpkin obsession. Personally, I have never been too obsessed with "pumpkin spice". One of my friends this year even said to me "I'm so surprised you don't love pumpkin spice, you're one of the most basic people I know." Oh. So then I tried it again and liked it, so yes, I will drink a pumpkin spice coffee if I absolutely have to. After accepting my "basicness," I started to realize how much unnecessary pumpkin spice items there are in the fall and it's getting to be a little too much. When you go to the grocery store in the fall, everywhere you turn is pumpkin spice this, pumpkin spice that.
1. Pumpkin Spice Hair
I saw an article about this the other day. Don't get me wrong, I think red hair is gorgeous, but if you dye your hair orange to be "fall trendy," I just think YOU won most basic award.
2. Pumpkin Spice Dog Food
What did your dog ever do to you?
3. Pumpkin Spice Vodka
Are you serious?
4. Pumpkin Spice Oreos
I don't trust anyone who doesn't prefer double stuffed over any other type of Oreo.
5. Pumpkin Spice Marshmallows
I haven't tried these, but maybe they have potential to be good in a s'more!
6. Pumpkin Spice English Muffins
Nothing like some artificially pumpkin flavored bread! But it's limited edition, so get it while it lasts!
7. Pumpkin Spice Pop Tarts
For your everyday sugary breakfast pumpkin needs!
8. Pumpkin Spice M&Ms
I'm running out of stuff to say about this. How do they even make this happen? Has anyone ever tried this before and does it REALLY taste like pumpkin? (The M&M's face really says it all.)
9. Pumpkin Spice Sausage
Sorry, vegetarians: you can't your pumpkin spice fix this way! Also WHO thought to make sausage pumpkin spice?
10. Pumpkin Spice Feminine Products
I am not sure if this is an internet joke or not, but I REALLY hope it's a joke.
11. Pumpkin Spice Cookies
You can't go wrong with cookies. Well, maybe sometimes, but I bet these aren't too bad.
12. Pumpkin Spice Kale Chips
For all you healthy people who want to get some pumpkin in your life, just eat some kale chips!
13. Pumpkin Spice Creamer
Okay, I am a fan of this product because who wants to pay $4 for a PSL everyday? Not me!

Interesting.....
15. Pumpkin Spice Yogurt
I bet this is actually pretty good, too.

Again, why not smell like a pumpkin while drinking PSLs?

The original. The best. The reason for all the madness.
