Not everything has to be apple cider or pumpkin spice right now for crying out loud
, fully cementing pumpkin spice’s status in the pop culture lexicon.
Pumpkin spice is not the only fall flavor that crops up around this time of year. Toasted marshmallow is popular — there is also, somehow, aKrispy Kreme’s interpretation of an “autumn’s orchard,” a moniker that should imply bounty, highlights maple, pecan, and apple . From the Starbucks apple macchiato to Spindrift’s new hard apple cider, once a fall flavor proves popular, the brands immediately capitalize on our nostalgic affinity for warming spices and desperate attempts to find comfort in this brutal world, and slap that flavor on everything that they can think of. And even though I love both a pumpkin spice latte and a warm mug of apple cider, not everything has to taste like nutmeg and clove as soon as September rolls around.
There are so many fall flavors that just fall by the wayside when pumpkin spice makes its debut. Why isn’t Starbucks offering me a macchiato infused with cranberries? Why don’t pear and fig have a place at the table? The same could be said for juicy persimmons and quince, not to mention winter-grown citrus like ruby red grapefruits.
