slo’s THURSDAY 10/17 poll - Pumpkin Spice Cheerios

[slo]

Cheerios has so many flavors now, and one I saw in the grocery store, starting in August, is Pumpkin Spice. I think I saw it the last couple of years, but I never tried it. I’m a fan of Cheerios, but only certain flavors. I like pumpkin spice, but I don’t think I’d like it on Cheerios. How about you……

Have you tried pumpkin spice Cheerios?
If yes……what is your opinion of them?
(multiple choice)



For Me…..As I mentioned above, I have not tried them. I’m starting to talk myself into buying a box today, just for fun, to see if I’d like them. I’m assuming I won’t like them, but I may surprise myself. You know what they say about people that assume…..

No thank you - I’m not on the pumpkin spice band wagon - I saw last year they had a pumpkin spice deodorant really?? Who would want that??? I don’t mind a pumpkin spice treat but I sure don’t want a body wash or deodorant or shampoo or anything like that marketing department have gone crazy with pumpkin spice

Exactly. I like pumpkin pie. My two or three slices around Thanksgiving/Christmas is enough. I make pumpkin (mix) whoopie type pies once a year.

But I have to admit, the butternut squash soup at Boma reminds of warm pumpkin pie filling and I love it. But again, if I was a local, would I stop by Boma and get it every week? I don't think so.

I eat a slice of pumpkin pie at Thanksgiving; that's it.

BRING BACK MAPLE!

So just to say it - I hate anything that is pumpkin spice.
I am beyond tired of the pumpkin spice craze.

I consider pumpkin pie to be one of the most vile things ever - my kid offered me $10 to eat a piece at thanksgiving one year - and I could not.

I’m not a pumpkin spice lover so I’ll be passing on these. I do wish the food industry embraced other fall food the way they do with pumpkin spice.

 

[Meriweather]

I do not eat any dry cereals.
I love pumpkin, the spice part depends......but generally I do not like pumpkin flavored things ( like tea....yuck!!)

 

[Dan Murphy]

I've never eaten these. I do eat Cheerios but have not eaten for a long time. I don't think I've ever eaten any flavor of Cheerios other than the original.

Now I'm thinking about a nice slice of Costco pumpkin pie with a dab of whip cream.

 

[dcassetta]

I do like Cheerios, but would not try these. The only place pumpkin spice belongs is in a pumpkin pie!

 

[jalapeno_pretzel]

I like pumpkin things, but not "pumpkin spiced" random items like cheerios and coffee.

I like pumpkin bread and make it a few times throughout the year. I'll make it anytime, but it always feels more special in the fall. It doesn't rank at the top of my pie list, but I do like pumpkin pie, and it's nice to have a slice or two in the fall. I like pumpkin curry soup, I've had chili with pumpkin that I liked, pumpkin cinnamon rolls, pumpkin scones, and pumpkin cream cheese. Oh and pumpkin cheesecake and pumpkin pie ice cream. I think that's it.

I laugh at how many flavors of Cheerios they now have. Cereals that advertise some flavor is 'only for a limited time' makes me ask why??? If a flavor is popular, then don't just offer it seasonally.......LOL. I like pumpkin pie, but pumpkin spiced anything else is not for me.

 

[soccerdad72]

I might give them a try if I saw them, but I've never had them before.

 

[Micca]

In a world seemingly obsessed with pumpkin spice "anything" it's interesting that in our little focus group here many comments are "No love for pumpkin spice." You can include me in that group, I just don't get it.

I liked pumpkin pie as a kid, but at some point decided apple and cherry pie are superior, so no pumpkin for me. I don't eat any cereal, so I'm def not the target market for this product.

 

[RUDisney]

I buy them every year. I have a box in my pantry now. Delicious!

 

[hertamaniac]

I haven't had cereal in years.

 

[HopperFan]

I am so over everything being pumpkin flavored, so much I don't even want pumpkin pie anymore.

 

[Wood Nymph]

I like regular Cheerios and have no interest in flavored versions.

 

[MIGrandma]

I eat regular Cheerios occasionally, but have never tried the pumpkin spice. No desire to. I do like pumpkin pie, and pumpkin spice coffee creamer.

 

[TiggerTrigger]

I would try them. I sometimes keep Cheerios around as a snack, but I haven't seen this flavor offered in my grocery store.

Oddly coincidental, but periodically, we give the dog some cheerios (plain) mixed with pumpkin puree. She had a small bowl this morning. I guess if I added the spices, it would be sort of DIY Pumpkin Spice Cheerios.
