25 Foods That Scare Me More Than Pumpkin

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.
