14 bizarre pumpkin spice flavored things you probably didn’t know existed

It’s that time of year again when the leaves slowly begin to change, the weather gets a little cooler, sweaters come out of storage and, for some reason, everything suddenly tastes and smells like pumpkin. Whether you love it or hate it, pumpkin spice latte season has officially started, so here’s a list of some of the strangest pumpkin spice-flavored things around.

Pumpkin spice chili

 

Urban Accents’ savory chili starter may sound a little strange, but pumpkin, after all, is a common cooking ingredient, so there’s a chance this chili is delicious.

 

Pumpkin spice pretzels


Creative Snacks Co. seasonally releases these sweet but salty yogurt pretzels. They also have apple cider yogurt pretzels and pumpkin pecan granola if you really want to amp up your pantry this fall.

 

Pumpkin hand soap


Mrs. Meyer’s is a well-known soap brand that typically makes more traditional scents such as lavender and rosemary, but you may stumble upon their pumpkin and even apple cider hand soap next time you go shopping.

 

Pumpkin spice Cheerios


Believe it or not, these Cheerios sold off the shelves pretty quickly last fall, so hopefully anyone interested will be able to get their hands on them if they make a return this year.

 

Pumpkin Spice makeup setting spray


Yes, even the cosmetic industry is filled with pumpkin-y goodness. Indie brand Apocalyptic Beauty Cosmetics releases their Pumpkin Spice Badass Setting Spray as part of their Halloween collection each year.

 

Pumpkin bagels and cream cheese


Pumpkin cream cheese on an everything bagel is unexpectedly tasty and many gourmet bagel shops such as NYC’s famous Tompkins Square Bagels will have the flavor in autumn. You can also pick some up from Einstein Bros. to try alongside their pumpkin bagel.

 

Pumpkin eggnog


Hood is a dairy company that annually rolls out cartoned eggnog and feature their extra-creamy eggnog for those looking to add a boost of fall to their holiday drinks.

Pumpkin face masks


Peter Thomas Roth is the mastermind behind the Pumpkin Enzyme Mask, which smells like a freshly-baked pumpkin pie, while Too Cool For School makes a pumpkin sheet mask. Plot twist: Pumpkin is actually used quite a lot in skin care to clear oily, clogged pores. Who wants a charcoal mask when they can smell like an autumn latte?

 

Pumpkin spice peanut butter


Peanut Butter and Co. is one of the leading brands of gourmet peanut butter (yes, that’s apparently a thing), and they wanted to join the autumn festivities, too, with their release of this seasonal peanut butter.

 

Pumpkin spice bath bombs


Indie brand Witch Baby Soap, which is basically a deluxe goth version of Lush, rolls out several bath bombs scented with the seasonal scent. Bombs such as “Cinnamon Girl” and “Hallowmas” are usually only released in fall, but sometimes appear during the brand’s weekly Throwback Thursday sale.

 

Pumpkin spice Oreos


Oreos have been pushing the limit a little bit recently, rolling out flavors such as cherry cola, pina colada and pistachio, so this one feels like a no-brainer.

 

Pumpkin spice Muscle Milk


Oddly enough, even protein shakes have jumped on the pumpkin bandwagon with various name brands and generic brands releasing pumpkin spice protein powders during the fall.

 

Pumpkin spice Kahlua


A pumpkin spiced White Russian really doesn’t sound too bad, though “The Dude” Lebowski may need to have the final say on that.

 

Pumpkin spice Pringles

 

Pringles has released this flavor in the past, though it’s uncertain if they will make a comeback this year. This is by far one of the strangest flavor combos to surface yet.
