Just Say No To Pumpkin Spice

There are many things to love about fall. The cooler weather, the leaves turning a beautiful fall color, and the holidays are around the corner.

However, the one thing we have to endure and suffer through every year is the dang Pumpkin Spice craze. So every year I put out a tweet of the things with Pumpkin in them that are terrible and now I bring it to you, right here.

  • Lattes
  • Candles – Even the smell of pumpkin is enough to drive you mad
  • Dude Wipes – That’s right, they made a Pumpkin Spice version and it has left us all bewildered
  • Pie – Everyone knows the best pies are Blueberry, Cherry, and Apple (with a slice of cheese)
  • Mac N Cheese – Just, why? Why would you do such a thing?
  • Beer – Octoberfest Beers rule. Pumpkin ones are gross and should be poured into the sewer.

And as always, the thing with Pumpkin in it that sucks the absolute most: The Smashing Pumpkins. Billy Corgan’s voice rattles my spine and makes me want to punch a tree every time I hear it. Except for Bullet With Butterfly Wings. That song does kick ass.
