U.S —As the nation plunges headlong into another fall season, the FDA has officially recommended pouring all pumpkin spice flavored beverages down the nearest drain immediately.

Stressing that they are “all just completely abhorrent and disgusting,” a spokesman for the agency confirmed Wednesday that the only safe and honorable course of action when confronted with a pumpkin spice latte, coffee, or beer this autumn is to quickly and without hesitation open the beverage and dump every drop of it down a nearby drain or toilet.

The FDA further advised caution when dumping the drinks, warning against accidentally spilling or splashing the repulsive liquids onto one’s skin or clothing, and recommended wearing a nose plug during the act to guard against inhaling any noxious fumes.

While I agree that pumpkin flavored drinks are abhorrent, you have to think the article is satire.

If you do get any of that stuff on your skin, high amputation is the only successful remedy. If the patient starts telling you his or her personal pronouns, it’s too late.

That’s so funny. The Bee.

I have to agree about that pumpkin spiced coffee, though. Ick. Any flavored coffee for that matter.

Nothing says autumn more like a Pumpkin spice beer or latte.

Actually my favorite time of year. I do like the taste of the pumpkin. Also, all the colors in the trees. And the crisp, cool mornings in which you can go hiking in the woods without being bothered by mosquitoes and biting flies. There are deer out there!

How about coffee flavored pumpkin spice? But I’m with you. Leave my coffee alone. (Except for the occasional mocha.)

OhHellNo. Not even creamer or sweetener. Black.
