The Pumpkin Spice Trend Might Be Over
After years of over-hyping and some delicious (but quite a few nasty) seasonal products, it looks as though the fall pumpkin spice trend is officially plateauing. Are you sad? We're not! We dread fall every year for this exact reason. Year after year all of our favorite fall flavors like cider, maple, apple, and pecan are squashed under the too-sweet orange dominance of pumpkin spice, but now it appears as though that may be ending.
The Best And Worst Pumpkin Spice Lattes
According to new data released by Yelp, the fall flavor now most commonly mentioned in reviews on the site is cider. As in apple cider doughnuts, cider beer, and even apple orchards. Take that, pumpkin spice lattes, pumpkin spice hummus, and pumpkin spice cereal! We would much rather munch on cider doughnuts while walking through an apple orchard that sit at home with a pumpkin spice tummy-ache.
butternut squash were on the rise as well. Maple was popular for a minute in 2013, but ultimately it came and went. Stop trying to make maple happen, America!

The autumnal season is only two days away, but if you've been scoping out the best place to pick up a warm cup of apple cider (or even a PSL) for the past few months already, you're definitely obsessed with fall.
