Given the perennial popularity of Starbucks' Pumpkin Spice Latte, it's no surprise that every last food and drink brand, from McDonald's to Krispy Kreme, has scrambled to cash in on PSL fever by offering their own vaguely cinnamon- and nutmeg-flavored items. But how far is too far?
That's the question we can't help but grapple with after discovering that a small deodorant company is now selling its very own PSL-scented stick, designed to keep your pits pumpkin spicy-fresh all day long.

Well, I don’t mind most of the PSL coffee drinks/cookies/granola bars/doughnuts/cakey desserty things. But I draw the line at Pumpkin Spice Cheerios, so PSL deo is out of the question. Ew.
And I was eyeballing those Cheerios in the supermarket a few days ago…I am also looking forward to my store’s limited edition Pumpkin pasta sauce.
I might be the only person left on the planet that has never tried a PSL? Or any PSL flavored product, other than actual pumpkin pie.
It’s not too late to start. How else will you know what goodness you’re missing?
That’s what my son said when he made me try some heinous frappuccino concoction last year. It just isn’t worth the risk 😉
It wasn’t the Unicorn Frappuccino, was it?
Ha, no.
I haven’t either. Yuck! Very tired of all these fake flavoured products and weird combinations of foods. “Try our new baguette bagel!” Why? These are two very different types of breads – both incredibly delicious and possessing qualities which make them so. Food marketing is so utterly ridiculous.
Oh yeah, if you want a good laugh Google ‘pumpkin spice meme’ and view the images!
Too far! Wow, talk about a great example of capitalizing on something.
Trader Joe’s is another culprit of this. Any day now they’ll be stocking the shelves with pumpkin spice everything.
Yes — they know what everyone wants 🙂
I was bagel purist until a local deli came up with pumpkin bagels. Now I nosh happily in October.
For years my daily breakfast was a banana walnut bagel — a pumpkin bagel sounds good too.
I cannot imagine my pits smelling of pumpkin spice latte while at the same time drinking one. Really disgusting!
Eww. Deodorant sounds bad but I think Pumpkin Spice Baby wipes ( found on the Internet) sounds the worst! :/
How about Pumpkin Spice toilet paper? Ouch!
Last year, I started (but did not finish) a post on Pumpkin Spice and bought all sorts of Pumpkin Spice food / drink AND also taste-tested pumpkin spice latte from various places (in some cases, I had to go for Round 2 or 3 to verify my ummm notes). Oh and I also got Pumpkin Spice perfume from Solstice Scents.
I would love it if my armpits smelled like cinnamon and nutmeg, but spices do not belong on such delicate skin. Ouch!
