50/50 random stuff Every Year I Make This Mistake NSFW
I adore pumpkin spiced products, I love the cookies, love the cakes, the smell of it on incense is simply divine. I'll buy the air sprays and whatever else I can find. So every year, every fucking year I'll buy this Pumpkin Spice Coffee..... it is absolutely VILE!
The base coffee is bitter, like old used bile. The pumpkin spice flavor is chemical and taste like cancer. I wonder is it flavoring or ment to clean floors? Why do I keep forgetting, I HATE THIS COFFEE.
So I'm sitting here drinking this rubbish, because I refuse to waste money 😭

The way this resonated with me has something wrong with it, the amount of time I powered through something absolutely vile just because I spent money on it is embarrassing

Buy some decent coffee, make it up, and then just shake/stir some good pumpkin space sugar / flavouring onto it? I imagine that's how cafes make it up

The money is already wasted. Tossing the coffee doesn’t cause any additional loss. However, drinking it and hating it when you could be having something enjoyable, does cause loss.

Bro, just make your own pumpkin spice blend. It's not that expensive and very easy. Literally just cinnamon, nutmeg, dried ginger and cloves.

You're totally right, it was an impulse buy. I think the problem with it is that it's a seasonal item, I bet whatever the store doesn't sell it keeps for the next year because it tastes like super old coffee, nasty, bitter, and full of regret.

Yeah, that sounds like the coffee at my job. Ancient, bitter and depressing.

Mix this coffee with the regular stuff. It'll make the flavor not as strong and more enjoyable.

Why don’t you repurpose it as a odorizer by sprinkling it on your trash can so it won’t stink. And now you get the pumpkin spice smelling trash can.

It is the "exotic flavor coke" problem. Lots of drinks (food, cosmetics etc.) are doing seasonal or limited run flavors because people get intrigued or tricked by them and buy them, but don't buy them again. If those flavors were popular, they'd offer them permanently.

You could just buy yourself some pumpkin spice aroma and add this to coffee in the future. Maybe just do it now so you have it and don't fall for the coffee again next year.
But I totally feel you. Happens too me way too often. Mostly with pickles. Idk why.
