I blame Starbucks.

And it is coming up on Pumpkin Spice Latte Season.

So so how burnt overpriced coffee is to blame

Starbuck's seasonal Pumpkin Spice Latte is totally what started the "Pumpkin Spice" trend.  Or at least popularized it for the masses.

And Caribou's coffee is burnt.  Starbuck's is overpriced and over sweetened.  Dunkin Donuts is where it's at.

Dunkin Donuts, where their coffee is brewed in a nuclear reactor.
That stuff never cools down.

What is with the american market and things flavored with pumpkin?
I mean I live in the U.S. and can't figure it out.

To be fair, it's not pumpkin flavour. It's "pumpkin spice" flavour, which is a mixture of cinnamon/nutmeg/ginger/clove. What us Brits call "mixed spice", more or less.

Actually pumpkin flavoured spam would be even worse.
