whitest paint

Yes, call me basic or whatever, but you can take my seasonal pumpkin spice flavored food and beverages from my cold, dead hands!

I personally believe there's nothing wrong with basic
Like I don't think people should always stay with basic and not explore
But sometimes basic is just comfortable and I think striving for comfort is a good thing
- Defender of the basic is a video to live by
your hands would probably still be warm, due to holding on to a hot beverage
- My warm, well manicured, dead hand then!
- What else would you use to flavor pumpkin spice flavored food other than real pumpkin spice then? It's not like powdered cinnamon, clove, nutmeg, and ginger are hard to come by...

TIL, Americans are so obsessed with race, they even assign certain spices to certain skin tones

Also it's just an American thing, I'm in Europe but never really had anything pumpkin spice.
I have had pumpkin soup but apparently the spice doesn't taste like pumpkin.
- I have had pumpkin soup but apparently the spice doesn’t taste like pumpkin.
  Pumpkin Spice is a spice mix (cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves) for pumpkin, not a spice made from pumpkin.
- It's not supposed to, the blend of spices is just used in pumpkin pie, thus the name
- Not sure how is it in other European countries but I associate those particular spices with Christmas. The phrase pumpkin spice didn't use to be a thing here but now thanks to American influence and marketing people you can buy all sorts of pumpkin spice products here. Some even sell pumpkin latte to make it even more confusing.
Clearly, I for one have no idea wtf is going.
- White people like pumpkin spice lattes n stuff. That's the joke
Not only spice, all sort of food. This is a very american thing for sure
- Chicken and watermelon anyone? /s
It's making fun of the popularity of pumkin spice stuff in certain demographics.
- That is obvious, but thank you

Should be that grey blue paint colour that means your neighbourhood is being gentrified.

i think this is about white people drinking a lot of starbucks pumpkin-spice lattes, or something like that 🤔

Hey non-white people: do you actually not enjoy pumpkin spice? I feel like this whole thing is overblown.

Edit: I love that this conversation is still going, no answers have been found, but also no insults have been thrown.

I wouldn't even know where to get something like this. I only heard about this pumpkin spice thing on the internet
- Around this time, at least in the United States, fucking everywhere. McDonald's I think even sells pumpkin spice lattes.
I'm Asian. Hate Pumpkin Spice. It's not even pumpkin. It's nutmeg, allspice, and cloves.
It smells nice but it tastes like dirt.
- It's the spices frequently used to flavor pumpkin pie. The primary spice should be cinnamon.
- smells nice but it tastes like dirt.
  Do you... do you eat spices raw???
- Allspice, how does it taste? Pepper?
Non white. Nothing against people enjoying what they enjoy. It's not for me though. Actively avoid it.
- White guy here. I also avoid it.
  Though I don’t like sweets in general. So maybe I’m not a good example.
I hate it, but that's just me. Nothing wrong in enjoying it, the debate is stupid.
- Huh. I agree about the debate being stupid, but judging by the responses to my (obviously flawed) study here on Lemmy it seems like there may be something to this stereotype.
  I love pumpkin pie, but anything else pumpkin spice I’m pretty meh about. It’s probably the lack of actual pumpkin.
I do. I think it’s quite nice and I have them somewhat regularly. They’re not overpriced where I live, they’re about the same price of a normal latte at any other cafe. So technically not overpriced, but still expensive.
Edit: my ex-partner introduced me to it and she was a typical white woman from southern US. So there’s that.
I don't know anyone that actually hates it, they usually just think it's funny how much white people love it.
Is this some usa thing? I think I qualify as white and I don't even know wtf this is
- US and Canada as far as I know

If liking pumpkin flavored stuff means you're white, then I'm fucking albino

Lol and I am very white and very much dislike anything pumpkin flavored so I’m the opposite. Though salted and roasted pumpkin seeds are an amazing snack
- I'm as white as lederhosen, and I don't want anything "pumpkin flavored." I really enjoy actual pumpkin, I eat like four of them a year, mostly in pie format. I don't want anything that's been food industried to taste vaguely like pumpkin though.
- Pumpkin or pumpkin spice? Or both? I've had a pumpkin pie for the first time a few years ago. Although not my favourite it's not too bad and I'm not a fan of pumpkin at all
You might not know that because this "spice" only exists in the US and I just learned it myself, but pumpkin spice has nothing to do with pumpkin flavor. It's called that way because it's the mix of spices used in pumpkin pies: cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, ginger and cloves.

I’ma buy a vowel!

I see what you did there.

Pumpkin spice lattes are the closest white people will ever come to experiencing spice on their food.

Maybe in the Midwest, east coast or northwest US. The south and southwest: some white people there are the most thrilled about death pepper sauce, and I’ve also met Hispanic people from AZ/TX/NM who have no interest in spicy food.
