When you think of fall what's the first thing that comes to mind? You can say it, it's ok, everyone else is thinking it, too: Pumpkin Spice Latte. Many companies have taken the pumpkin spice theme into account because more and more pumpkin flavored products show up each year. Even things you wouldn't expect like Pumpkin Spice Kale Chips? Yes, they're real; the health conscious will do anything to get people to buy their products. After taking numerous strolls through grocery stores, I noticed an incredible number of strange pumpkin flavored foods and drinks and it sparked my interest. After extensive research, I have compiled a list of 2015's pumpkin treats -- some earned ratings of four and five stars. Somewhat by category, here's the list of my 122 pumpkin flavored findings.

As you can see, Trader Joe's really takes the cake on the making of pumpkin products. I'm sure 2016 will come with more pumpkin surprises, but at this rate I think we have enough. I even noticed a few random products like pumpkin spice dog treats and pumpkin spice shampoo/conditioner, but I don't think it would be acceptable to give a fair rating on the dog food.
