If you thought the seasons were spring, summer, fall and winter, you're wrong. They're actually spring, summer, pumpkin spice and holidays. September 22 marked the first day of pumpkin spice 2016, and we all know what that means. While shopping, we all see pumpkin spice-flavored things, and most of them make sense: tea, coffee and maybe a few cereals or coffee creamers. However, there are plenty of things that really shouldn't have been pumpkin spiced. We've all seen those things. Seeing these inappropriately spiced products gave me the idea to come up with some of my own ideas for things that should (or shouldn't) be pumpkin spiced in the future. Who knows? Maybe I'll invent something disgustingly beautiful and become a millionaire.
Before we get started, let's all take a moment to appreciate just how far Rhett and Link pushed the limits of pumpkin spice in their Good Mythical Morning episode "Will It Pumpkin Spice?":
Here are some of my ideas for future pumpkin spice "goodness":
1. Tacos
2. Dog biscuits
3. Whatever the pumpkin spice equivalent of ketchup would be called. Pumpup? Spiceup?
4. Condoms
5. Dumplings
6. Soup
7. Cheese
8. Milk
9. Toilet paper
10. Soda
11. Oversized sweatshirts
12. Deodorant
13. Tampons
14. Christmas trees
15. Nail polish
16. Hair products
17. Shampoo and conditioner
18. Scented markers
19. iPhones
20. UGGs
21. Books
22. Wine
23. Water
24. Leggings
25. Leaves
26. Hot cocoa
27. Popcorn
28. Cars
29. Oxygen
30. Pumpkins
I'm obviously a genius and the best inventor ever, right? Every single one of these things deserves its spot in the pumpkin spice hall of fame!
What do you think? Are there things that you'd like to see pumpkin spiced? What's the worst idea for pumpkin spiced products you've seen or can think of?
If you'd like to see some things that actually have been pumpkin spiced but really shouldn't have been, take a look this pumpkin spice pizza or this pumpkin spice cat litter!
