This year the pumpkin spice thing is particularly egregious. In years past, a bunch of microbreweries would put out a pumpkin beer, there'd be the pumpkin spice latte at Starbucks, and a handful of other pumpkin things here and there. It was like "Haha, there sure is a lot of pumpkin stuff in the fall!" but it wasn't WTF levels of crazy. This year I've seen pumpkin spice Oreos, pumpkin spice marshmallows, pumpkin spice potato chips, pumpkin spice pasta, and it seems like every single microbrewery has a pumpkin beer (and in some cases, more than one). What the hell happened?
oh yeah?
Hmmm. Might be a new champion, although this one's still tough to beat.
Halloween is a weird time in the UK, everyone gets pumpkins to carve jack'o'lanterns at least once in their life - but realising you now have to do something with all that stuff and the horror upon finding out what your few options are is a right of passage for most British children.

You don't make pie out of jack o lantern pumpkins.

I don't think we really get any other kind, at least without having to especially hunt for them. This is kind of a revelation here.
It certainly explains why the UK is slightly baffled (or disgusted) by the US's obsession with pumpkins. I think it's just kind of being assumed to be a bit like sprouts at Christmas, where the cliche is nobody likes them, but it's traditional to serve them and it'd wouldn't be a christmas dinner if they weren't there (though I for the record, do like sprouts).

....No, Pumpkin Pie is honestly a great tasting pie.
I now understand the joke of people not liking pumpkin pies in the UK, though. It'd be like trying to make an apple pie with crabapples or something. Just...ugh. The only thing you eat from those is the seeds.

Yeah, I don't know what it is this year but there's pumpkin shit everywhere for some reason.

I wouldn't be surprised if this was the end result of some marketing push by a pumpkin grower's conglomerate or something.

Except that there is no pumpkin in any of the "pumpkin spice" products.
It's all ginger, nutmeg, clove and allspice.

Yeah, when they say "pumpkin spice", they aren't lying. It's literally a specific spice combo used for pumpkin pies to give it that distinctive profile.

my favorite part of pumpkin spice is that there is no pumpkin in it
half the stuff you get from the cans of pumpkin is squash anyway. I can tell the difference between a squash pie and a pumpkin pie though, pumpkin is my preference.
my favorite part of baby oil is that there is no baby in it
Does this mean pumpkin spice is actually a spice that your supposed to use on a pumpkin? What if what everyone thinks pumpkin tastes like is actually just a spice rub that some old recipe recommended for using on pumpkins to make them not taste terrible.

I thought it was amusing in the way their interactions are usually amusing.
No minds were changed, though.
Bill's head is so far up his ass that his guts make a mobius strip. It does make me wonder though if he believes that stuff, or that it's possible to say almost anything when you have the big, comfy pile of money to sleep on that he does.

Yep. The more accurate name is "pumpkin pie spice", but that doesn't sound good rolling off the tongue, so we get "pumpkin spice".
The man is a truly loathsome human being. Every time I see him on television I have to resist the urge to throw something through the screen.
That interview made me SO ANGRY. That man is a caricature of Republican ignorance. He has the audacity to practically DEFINE privilege but still somehow denies it means anything.
"Yeah, sure, I'll agree that things are much harder for black people, and that they're less likely to succeed than I was.

He tried to warn us.
O'Reilly is Paper Bear
Papa is slang for father, who is often considered the head of a family
Bears are, well, they're bears and dangerous.
family is also slang for the mob
O'Reilly is going to put a hit out on Colbert, and the "bears" will "maul" him to "death"
So the final show could be really interesting.
Hmmm. Might be a new champion, although this one's still tough to beat.

Anyway, Brits, the show airs Tuesday right?

I'm convinced now more than ever that English food is a crime against humanity.

Maybe not best pie, but certainly a great pie.
Pumpkin is a great taste.

That... that sounds kind of good to me...

Racist gonna racist.
Every item on the Republican wish list checked off and it drives your state into the ground.
Solution?
Drive harder. Obviously.

He got O'Reilly to admit it, ultimately. In the most cowardly defensive way with the most BS excuses to make it okay anyway, but it's there.
It really shows the mental gymnastics people use to cover their pride.
Yep. The more accurate name is "pumpkin pie spice", but that doesn't sound good rolling off the tongue, so we get "pumpkin spice".
Every interview with O'Reilly is bad.

"Yeah, sure, I'll agree that things are much harder for black people, and that they're less likely to succeed than I was.
But, you know. Fuck 'em. Lazy bastards."
I don't know as much about Chris Wallace. It would be a difficult bar to clear, though, my hatred of Bill O'Reilly.
You can roast the seeds and make a damn good pumpkin bread from Jack-O-Lantern pumpkins, though.
