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.

5. Food from my daughter’s lunchbox three days later.

6. Candy Corn Flavored Everything.

7. Weird Flavored Oreos. (Fruit punch? Seriously?)

8. Food with eyeballs.

9. Vagina Cupcakes.

10. Food I catch in my hands when it comes back up.

23. Food that has been in the back of my fridge for too long.

24. Food I find in weird places in my house and car.

25. Food I have to cook.

So, let’s quit being scared of pumpkin flavored stuff, and just embrace the fact, that it’s amazing and delicious. There are plenty of other foods to be worried about, and frankly, a little scared of.

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!

    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.

    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? Brittany

    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.
