most people like having seasonal things, having everything be available at all times is so fucking sad and monotonous

Vanilla, actual vanilla, is a pain in the ass to make, and almost all of the world's actual vanilla ends up in ice cream. We can synthesize the same chemicals out of, among other things, wood pulp and beaver secretions, which is why it's easier to make things vanilla flavored now.

Yeah, this doesn't look to be Halloween-themed or anything. I have cans of pumpkin and pumpkin extract that last for years. They can do pumpkin stuff whenever.

I can't stand pumpkin but it, I think obviously, should be made all year. Is there some problem with production or maybe people only like the taste of it exclusively at that time of year?

They’ve never once considered if they should. Heck, Adam Smith said so himself:

“The wealth of nations relies on dumb ass marketing and stupid fuckers buying into it.” - Adam Smith

They could've said "Thanksgummer." Count your blessings

Has this ever happened to you?

From what I recall Starbucks used to keep Pumpkin Spice available much longer out of season than they advertised.

-I was on the pumpkin spice train before it was cool.

I have two neighbors that decorate their plastic skeletons seasonally all year long. It’s my favorite thing.

Saw Halloween decorations at Lowe's couple days ago

christmas in july

Oh, I never thought of that... is the cinnamon/ginger/clove mix associated with autumn or Christmas there? I remember reading a book, I want to say Little House on the Prairie, when I was a kid where some kids were really excited that their mom brought them some cold, refreshing eggnog as a summer time treat while working in the field. I found that very strange.

i scrolled for just this link thanks

These seasonal food regulations should definitely reflect the clearly-correct religious position and not some false religion's take on things.
