Is Our Obsession with Pumpkin Spice Waning? It’s Only the Fourth Most Popular Fall Flavor

Is America’s love affair with pumpkin spice drawing to a close?  No, it’s still beloved.  But not by as many as it used to be . . .

The first day of fall is still over a month out.  (September 22nd)  But an early poll for it found 58% of Americans think pumpkin spice is NOT the best fall flavor.

It only ranked fourth overall.  So, what beat it?  Here are the Top 10 . . .

1.  Cinnamon.  39% said it’s one of their favorite fall flavors.

2.  Salted caramel, 37%.

3.  Candy apple, 36%.

4.  Pumpkin spice.  Only 32% said it’s a favorite.

5.  Maple, 28%.

6.  S’mores, 28%.  (Aren’t s’mores more of a summer thing?)

7.  Pecan, 26%.

8.  Toasted marshmallow, 24%.  (Again . . . a fall flavor?)

9.  Sweet potato, 20%

10.  Cranberry, 19%.

Last stat:  Are you more likely to feel sad when summer ends, or excited that fall is here?  People were almost twice as likely to say excited for fall.
