It’s a problem, it’s true. Pumpkin flavored food is EVERYWHERE.
People love to make fun of pumpkin while they secretly stuff their faces with it. And, drink it down by the millions at their local starbucks.
Pinterest LOVES pumpkin. Heck, I love pumpkin. Frankly, if you don’t love pumpkin (and I know some of you are out there) then I get why it’s annoying. All the cool kids (or hypocrites sipping on their pumpkin spice lattes) are mocking pumpkin these days.
But, for the rest of you that love it…you have to admit you salivate just a little when you hear the words, pumpkin flavored ….
But, I have found that there are far too many other foods and food posts that scare me a lot more than pumpkin season. When it comes to food, recipes, and pinterest, there is a lot to be worried about. There are many foods lurking out there that are down right spooky, creepy, and disgusting. Why pick on pumpkin? Here are 25 foods that bother me more than pumpkin spiced flavored anything.

And, just in case you’re secretly looking for the perfect pumpkin cookie recipe…I’ve got it for you here. You’re welcome.
I agree with so many of these! 🙂 I can’t stand pumpkins stuff, except for roasted pumpkin seeds. I have actually eaten penis/testicle sugar cookies at a bachelorette party. The bakers failed to roll the dough out super thin, so they ended up very fat penis cookies. Private part food is definitely not my thing!
haha! Love it. I still don’t think I could eat the pumpkin and peanut butter cookies somebody made for our neighborhood activity last week… ugh.
Every Halloween my daughter and husband say ‘you’re not going to make that horrible food are you?’ I once made scary food and it was perfectly edible but it freaked them out and made them feel a little sick. It was so artistic (for me) and I went to a lot of trouble, but never again will I do that.
Ha! I am scared of many of these foods, too! Especially the food from Taco Bell! 🙂
Meredith,
This is hilarious! You are hilarious. I love your blog. I think have now told you that about 37 times. What did you guys do this weekend? We went to Cornbelly’s at Thanksgiving Point, I had never been and it was AWESOME! That’s totally going to be a thing we do now. Have you been?

I have been with the youth from church once and told myself I needed to take the kids. But haven’t….it is awesome.
Vagina cookies?! Was that mom on crack?! At least she did a nice job decorating them. Food that creeps me out = anything that may have resembled a bug at one point in it’s life.
