Pumpkin Spice: 9 Outrageous Tweets Haters Will Love

For some of you, ubiquitous pumpkin spice is a taste never quite acquired, which means it’s going to be a long couple of months. Pumpkin spice is for pies and the occasional loaf of bread. Let’s be clear about that. Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte was the gateway drug for this craze, and now pumpkin spice is showing up in Cheerios, vodka and even in chicken sausage. Name your poison, and pumpkin spice is probably in there.

Even uttering one “ackk!” in the face of a pumpkin spice anything will earn you, at least, a tongue-lashing for trying to wring the joy out of the season or, at worst, the “orange letter” of an infidel. You’re a bad person.

And you may be anti-capitalist. The pumpkin-spice-everything trend is big business — very big business.

In 2016, pumpkin spice flavor and fragrance products accounted for $25 billion in sales in the United States, Forbes reported. That may explain an earlier-than-usual start to the pumpkin spice season — “Think Christmas creep, but orange,” The New York Times wrote.

But cheer up. Here are nine outrageously funny Tweets from the #PumpkinSpiceResistance:

Oh, the humanity!

Oh, the absurdity!

Pumpkin spice misery loves company. She doesn’t like it. Any questions?

Pumpkin spice kills.

But can it stop a hurricane?

If pumpkin spice is so great, why didn’t the Spice Girls sing a song about it?

And what would the pope say?

Just say no.
