(08/31/2013) I was also going to name this “A Pumpkin Flavored Phil Factor”. It’s that time of year, again. Sigh. It has begun. Pumpkin flavored everything is back in stores! WTH? Seriously, are pumpkins such a wonderful delicacy that we have to flavor EVERYTHING with them? Why pumpkin? Is there any other time of year where a flavor takes over the country for a couple months? Around the winter holidays why isn’t there nog flavored everything? Around St. Patrick’s Day we’ve got our Shamrock Shakes, but that’s about it. How about this? I’m going to give you a list of ten pumpkin flavored items below and you try to guess which one isn’t real.
1. Coffee
2. Beer
3. Donuts
4. Candy
5. Soda pop
6. Potato chips
7. Pasta
8. Cookies
9. Vodka
10. Smoothies
Guess what? They all are real! That’s too much pumpkin flavored stuff. What’s next, pumpkin-flavored fish sandwiches at McDonald’s? This time of year it’s actually an effort not to accidentally eat something pumpkin flavored. This madness must end! When I’m elected President, or Sexiest Man Alive, whichever comes first, I’m going to pass a law stating that any company that produces a pumpkin flavored food item has to have it approved through a special sub-committee and if it is just too stupid of an idea they will not be allowed to sell it. If you know of any other odd pumpkin flavored foods or drinks please share them in a comment.
As always, if you enjoy what you read at #ThePhilFactor and want to support my bid for President, or Sexiest Man Alive, please hit the Facebook or Twitter share buttons.
the pumpkins are taking over once again )
Here in Germany it is next to impossible to even find pumpkin anything. I have to order Pumpkin Pie filling from Amazon in order to make a pie….I know, I know, I could act like a real German and bake a pumpkin myself and then make a pie, but really? I am too American for that.
I saw pumpkin spiced yogurt pretzels the other day. Oh, the horror!
It’s just too much, isn’t it? Who likes pumpkin that much?
Well Mr. President, just be aware that you will face much resistance in your pumpkin flavor-less world. I will happily lead the pumpkin flavor underground network – pumpkin lovers unite!
Except those of you who like pumpkin pie. That’s just disgusting.
LOL! I absolutely love pumpkin pie, especially with nutmeg and cinnamon
🙅♀️
Oh great….. Now that you brought it up, McDonald’s will have to do it. Thanks buddy.
It would not surprise me if they did
⭐⭐⭐⭐🏆👍-JW PS: I am not too fond of Pumpkin Spice either, so, how about maple?🍁
