Comment on At least it's not Pumpkin Spiced

What’s wrong with liking pumpkin spice? It’s cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg, and it tastes good in coffee. (Although, probably wouldn’t taste good in a screwdriver.)

There’s absolutely nothing wrong with pumpkin spice. It’s been around for hundreds of years, and is delicious. This is referencing the cultural phenomenon that is Pumpkin Spice that is put in everything.

I think “bacon flavored” is more appropriate in this scenario, because I really haven’t seen pumpkin spice flavor outside of coffee, candy and pastry, whereas a few years ago you can buy bacon flavored gum, ice cream, popcorn, candy, soda, vodka, perfume… etc that it became completely absurd.

It’s a very similar cultural trajectory than bacon was years before. It’ll last longer too since it makes more sense than “bacon flavored” does.

I’ve seen far too many pumpkin spiced beer. Pumpkin pie flavor is often better, but still not my thing and too common this time of year. I have no issue with pumpkin spice as a flavor, but I don’t want it to take the place of other flavors, which it has to because taps are limited.
