Might as well make it year round. Hell, vanilla was considered the fanciest of fancy rare spices, and now it’s in everything.
Biggest problem i have with “seasonal” food, is the absolutely infuriating amount of food wasted just because the box/product needs to be swapped for the version that has hearts and bunnies on it.

Your marketers were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should.
They’ve never once considered if they should. Heck, Adam Smith said so himself:
“The wealth of nations relies on dumb ass marketing and stupid fuckers buying into it.” - Adam Smith
They could’ve said “Thanksgummer.” Count your blessings
I don’t think I’ve tried any pumpkin spice food or drink (they aren’t that common here), but I definitely want christmas sweets like gingerbread and spiced cookies available year-round - why eat cookies that are flavored with just butter, vanilla or chocolate, when you could have cookies with spices?
It’s clearly the anticipation that gives it the flavor!
I bet it also builds character.
It’s either season creep or retailers don’t think we’re going to make it through fall so they’re dumping products ahead of schedule.
The auto shop in my hometown had a sign that said “pumpkin spice oil change”
I appreciate the humor of the random mechanic that thought that was a hoot
might as well just keep them year round at this point
From what I recall Starbucks used to keep Pumpkin Spice available much longer out of season than they advertised.
-I was on the pumpkin spice train before it was cool.
Has this ever happened to you?
So what, if people enjoy having those, let them.
Saw Halloween costume put up for sale, in mid-July. At this point, expecting frozen Turkeys to show up soon.
Saw Halloween decorations at Lowe’s couple days ago
christmas in july
It’s weird being in the southern hemisphere sometimes.
Oh, I never thought of that… is the cinnamon/ginger/clove mix associated with autumn or Christmas there? I remember reading a book, I want to say Little House on the Prairie, when I was a kid where some kids were really excited that their mom brought them some cold, refreshing eggnog as a summer time treat while working in the field. I found that very strange.
No, it’s not really a thing here at all.
Oh, that makes sense. Do you have any seasonal spice combos?
I think various corporations are trying to make pumpkin spice a thing, but apart from that, not really.
Capybara for Lent!
Stop it
Seriously, stop it
Have to get it out early; Christmas has already taken over all of the fall season.

Fuck yeah! Pumpkin spice is delicious! That shit oughta be year round.
I saw Christmas supplies at Costco a couple days ago…
This is why we need seasonal regulation goddamit

These seasonal food regulations should definitely reflect the clearly-correct religious position and not some false religion’s take on things.
