The Christmas spirit hasn’t hit full stride yet, so pumpkin spice still rules. But, what exactly is in your Pumpkin Spice Latte or Pumpkin Pie Pringles? SPOILER ALERT: It ain’t pumpkin.

Not only do most food items that claim pumpkin flavoring not contain any actual pumpkin — they probably don’t even contain the actual spices typically used to accompany the bland orange vegetable.

A short yet scathing video by The New York Times breaks the p-spice scandal wide open. Where there should be nutmeg, cloves and cinnamon, there’s now lactones, ketones and cyclotenes — chemicals that toy with our fragile fall-loving minds. Please watch…

There is no escape… Once Labor Day ends, it’s pumpkin spice everything. Pumpkin spice coffee, pumpkin spice candles, pumpkin spice deodorant, and now, Pumpkin Spice: The Movie.

Keeping with the Halloween theme and the horror that is pumpkin spice, the movie is a suspense thriller that keeps us on the edge of  our seat, while proving just how ridiculous this trend has become.

So, enjoy your PSLs and scented candles, you conformist. For at the stroke of midnight on Nov. 1st, it’s officially peppermint season. Please watch this…

No mention if it actually contains pumpkin, or any pie ingredients — but it is now October. So let’s pour a little in your Pumpkin Keg, and get on with our day. November will be here before we know it.
