Pumpkin Spice ... is your moment in the spotlight over?

I like it in coffee and pumpkin pie, but it is a festive way to say, "Hello Fall!"

Not a big fan of the migraine inducing cinnamon apple fragrance everywhere that will be here soon but it is a clear signal that
"Winter is coming." I have to hold my breath to get into a store from Nov-Jan but I appreciate the spirit.

The Little Debbie Pumpkin Delights will be out soon. They're my personal Kryptonite.

I like it in a few things—coffee, bagels, pumpkin pancakes…but it went a bit overboard for my tastes. I do like cinnamon a lot though.

Forgot to add that the “season” also starts too early for me. I won’t be drinking any pumpkin spice coffee until at least after Labor Day and if it’s still hot and humid here in Pennsylvania I’ll most likely hold off until closer to October. Just my personal taste though.

I don't mind Pumpkin Spice. I DO mind that it has gone overboard and has pushed out other fall flavors like maple and apple. At least give us a better mix!

My favorite fall treat though... Starbucks White Hot Chocolate with 3 pumps Pumpkin Spice (or 2 pumps for a smaller size).

Pumpkin spice is one of my favorite flavors at any time of year. Towards the end of the season, I'll stock up on the syrups for my coffee at home.

Meh, it's mid-August. We still have part of summer to enjoy to the fullest. Summer is much too short already without rushing Fall things.

Once fall kicks into gear with cooler autumn breezes and the rustle of fallen leaves, we will re-visit whether pumpkin spice is still an in thing.

NopeNopeNope. I've got Pumpkin Pie Spice creamer for my coffee in the fridge right now. I love everything about it, because it means that Autumn is nigh.

Same.

WEEELLLLL....I mean it's not like all the manufacturers pull all of the 'plain' versions of their products from Aug.-Nov. and replace it all with pumpkin spice leaving you no options. Yes, you CAN still buy the regular Cheerios in September, I promise! I will continue to welcome fall with all of the pumpkin spice goodies. I do like apples and cinnamon too, but those things are more available year round while pumpkin stuff is much more fall-exclusive. Like cinnamon dolce lattes I can get at Starbucks whenever, or Apple Cinnamon Cheerios, for that matter. Cinnamon applesauce, cinnamon donuts etc. I don't see PS going away anytime soon, maybe a little less "pumpkin spice EVERYTHING", but it will still be around. Fall without pumpkin/PS is like Christmas without peppermint or gingerbread.

That said, I will not have it in August. Doesn't feel autumn-y enough yet! Usually not until sometime in the middle or end of September.
