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

      I wouldn’t even know where to get something like this. I only heard about this pumpkin spice thing on the internet

      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.

        White guy here. I also avoid it.

        Though I don’t like sweets in general. So maybe I’m not a good example.

        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.
