I’ve got another hot take today. It is also food related.
Summer is drawing to a close, but it’s not over yet. That hasn’t stopped marketing teams from jumping the gun though. I am already seeing pumpkin spice and halloween candy flooding in everywhere. It’s retails usual mad rush toward whatever the next holiday is.
I think it’s annoying, but I also don’t think it’s a hot take. I see a lot of sentiment against that over-eagerness for commercialization.
This hot take is in response to another, related sentiment I see coming along with the pivot to fall: mockery of pumpkin spice products, especially coffee.
I like pumpkin spice lattes. I do. I enjoy them and I will continue to enjoy them.
Just not in August though. C’mon. Let the fall things wait until fall.
