Oh, by the Fall gods, it is back! The Pumpkin Spice. I still haven't quite figured out where this spice is found in the wild, but the coffee chains have managed to cultivate it. I love fall. It is my season. My favorite color is October and my favorite smell is November, but September kills me with its fascination with Pumpkin Spice, although August jumped on the bandwagon. Everywhere I turn, there is pumpkin coffee, pumpkin muffins, pumpkin cheesecake, pumpkin cookie dough, and if I have to sit through and advertisement for pumpkin K-cups from Dunkin Donuts one more time, I am going to throw something. I'm constantly being asked if I wanted to try a Pumpkin Spice Latte. No. If I wanted one, I would have ordered one.
So can some one explain the obsession with pumpkin spice to me? I don't get it. I'm one of those people who doesn’t really like pumpkin to begin with, so this whole pumpkin coffee just grosses me out. Why would you want your coffee to taste like an overly sweet pie? Ew. Just Ew. But people are all for it. Give me a Peppermint White Mocha any day of the week.
