It's getting to be the season when various merchants are starting to carry pumpkin products. Krispy Kreme has an ad to "Try Our Pumpkin Spice Collection". They had a picture of hot and cold pumpkin spice coffee, pumpkin spice donuts and what looked like a milkshake.
Personally, I don't like any flavorings in my coffee; and I like my coffee hot. I would definitely eat the donuts and drink the milkshake. I also love pumpkin muffins, quick bread, ice cream, pie and cookies.
Starbucks has sold 600 million Pumpkin Spice Lattes since the drink debuted in 2003.
How about you? Do you love the pumpkin and pumpkin spice goodies?

I like pumpkin, but not all of the pumpkin goodies and drinks.

I would respond affirmatively. I had some pumpkin roll ice cream this weekend, that I didn't care for but it didn't really taste like pumpkin.

I was just telling Snowy that I remember getting pumpkin ice cream from Baskin Robbins many years ago.

Not into the pumpkin or spicy goodies. I like roasted pumpkin seeds. Does that count? I am sure getting into the Halloween spirit though.

Pumpkin seeds are good. Sure that counts!

On principle, I refuse to go back to Krispy Kreme. We don't have one near here, but recently we stopped at one because I had really been craving a glazed donut. I really hoped the hot sign would be on (it wasn't), but we bought one plain glazed donut each and it was almost $5! For two donuts! And they weren't even very good.
If I want to waste five bucks, I'll find a better way.

@LindaOHio Since Dale can't have gluten, it was a dietary splurge for him and besides being expensive, wasn't even good.

@1creekgirl That would be so disappointing to spend that much and then they weren't very good.

That's a ridiculous price. We just get donuts from our supermarket bakery. They're pretty good.

The only thing I like about pumpkins is pumpkin pie, But I did carve up quite a few pumpkins in Latvia when we had our own personal Halloween parties and my mom used to make fantastic pickled pumpkin,

I'm half and half when it comes to pumpkin. I love pumpkin muffins and pumpkin pie but not fond of pumpkin spice in my coffee. I like my coffee black without milk or sugar. Just the thought of adding anything to it makes me squirm

I can't drink black coffee; but I definitely would not like it to taste like pumpkin.

I would try the pumpkin donuts. I love Krispy Kreme but they are expensive. Our supermarket sells their donuts. I think a box of three is like $6.

@LindaOHio I wonder how much they go for in the Krispy Kreme store. We have one at the mall.

Oh yeah, I am definitely a pumpkin junkie, especially Dunkin Donuts pumpkin spice coffee. Ugh, that reminds me that I just went to Dunkin Dinuts this morning but I am not in the Fall spirit yet and totally forgot to ask for a pumpkin coffee. And their pumpkin muffins are to die for there. Yum, very moist and delicious.

I don't like raisins so that wouldn't work for me. I have a great recipe for pumpkin muffins with almond flour because I am supposed try to avoid regular flour if possible. They don't hold a candle to Dunkin Donuts pumpkin muffins, BUT they are good and healthy.

I've never had a pumpkin flavored drink. Definitely would not like it in my coffee.
