You can smell it in the air. It’s pumpkin spice season.
Sure, it’s September and maybe it’s still 90-plus degrees if you live in the South. But fall is on its way, so let all pumpkin spice lovers rejoice.
During this transitional time in our seasonal earthly world, let us also take a moment to reflect on our ever-growing passion for the scientifically proven addictive flavor.
We’ve gotten Starbucks to provide us with our yearly dose of pumpkin spice drink options. (Three cheers for PSLs!) Krispy Kreme has even joined the pumpkin spice movement, adding a pumpkin spice doughnut with cheesecake filling to its menu.
But we must ask ourselves the question: How far is too far? Because let’s be honest. Some pumpkin spice items don’t make sense.
Here’s a list of eight pumpkin spice items you can buy right now that have no business being on the market.

You’re either kale or you’re pumpkin spice. You can only be one, Angel Kale..
