Comment on At least it's not Pumpkin Spiced

  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.

    @MargotRobbie @negativenull the bacon thing has been over for a while, hasn't it?

      Yes, I haven’t seen anything bacon related in a long time now.

    pumpkin spice gum
    pumpkin spice ice cream
    pumpkin spice popcorn
    pumpkin spice candy
    pumpkin spice soda
    pumpkin spice vodka
    pumpkin spice perfume

    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.

      @Cethin @MargotRobbie correct me if I"m wrong but isn't pumpkin pie flavor and pumpkin spice flavor the same, save the flavor of pumpkin, a fairly bland flavor, added?

        Pumpkin spice is only the flavor of the spices added to a pumpkin pie. Pumpkin pie flavor (should) taste like the pie filling in total. It’ll be a sweeter smoother flavor. Most of the spices you put in are fairly sharp flavors, so the pumpkin evens it all out.
