That seems about like what we've fallen into with all manner of pumpkin-flavored products being popular this fall. There is the usual pumpkin pie and pumpkin bread. But there are also pumpkin-flavored potato chips, beer, coffees, bagels, cream cheese, biscotti, dog treats, nonfat Greek yogurt, pancakes, English muffins, Pop-Tarts, waffles, tea, salsa, pasta, sausage, chocolate, marshmallows, and air fresheners. I am not making any of this up, and I know the list is accurate because I got it off the internet.
Now, I think all this is a bit of pumpkin-flavored overkill. Chocolate versions of these products, maybe. But it's too much pumpkin. I'll stick with a slice of pumpkin bread and a piece of pumpkin pie, thanks. And a nice Jack-o-lantern to put on the front porch.
But the Great Pumpkin has come into his own. Linus must be pleased.
But did you see this morning's comics? In one of them, there is a stand selling "Great Pumpkin Pies!"...and a panel with a horrified Linus tumbling back at the sight...
