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.

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.

Oh bugger. Guess you're right. 😔

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

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

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.

Interesting. What sorts of things is pumpkin spice being put into besides the typical lattes / baked goods? I ask because I really enjoy pumpkin spice.

Lots of beers. It feels like I can't get away from them. Everyone feels like they need to have a pumpkin spice or pumpkin pie flavored beer.
