   Oh shit, y'all, it's almost pumpkin spice season (previously known as fall or autumn, depending on your regional dialect). I just got an email from Second Cup saying, since I have a points card, I can get a "member exclusive" first taste of this year's pumpkin spice beverages...starting this weekend. It's not even September yet!

      Pumpkin spice should be a year round flavour.

         @frankiesaxx As someone who actually likes Pumpkin Spice Sugar Bombs...I mean "lattes"...I disagree. It's only of those things that is special because it's seasonal. If it was available year round, it would lose some of what makes it unique. Same with pumpkin pie (even though it typically *is* available year round now) and egg nog.

            Oh man eggnog is so good. Actually you're right... not because it would be less special but because I would be soooo fat if I could just get eggnog, pumpkin spice everything, and pumpkin pie whenever I wanted! :)

            In Sweden you can't buy pumpkin spice anything. At least I've never seen it in shops. I have to make it all myself.

               @frankiesaxx 😂 That's a good point!

               The fact that you have to make it yourself probably means that you naturally have it less often, though, since you need to make an effort to do it. And, at least in my limited experience, making a pumpkin spiced latter at home is a lot of work, especially if you're using real pumpkin.

                  We don't even have canned pumpkin! I have to start with a raw one from the produce section!
