Can someone please explain to me why I would ever want my coffee or tea to taste like pumpkin? That or these other ridiculous flavors they seem to be adding to cream? Honestly.

The flavors are meant to be seasonal. Since we are entering Autumn, I suppose pumpkin is soothing? It does seem a strange tradition to me as well, but my world does not experience shifts in the seasons nearly so often.

Is it really that different from having cake or cookies that are flavored? I don't see anything wrong with it, Sir. It seems relatively harmless.

Why indeed? It seems to ruin the natural taste of the coffee to begin with. Nontheless, it does seem rather popular with the youth.

It's poison.

[death_glare]

Not willingly. She made it without consulting me first.

[death_glare]

I suppose I can understand individuals having a taste for certain foods at various times. However, what is wrong with a simple pumpkin pie? I do not see why everything I drink, and apparently eat, as well, must also be pumpkin flavored.

[death_glare]

I would not call it harmless. The scent alone is exceptionally overpowering.

[death_glare]

So it is more of a marketing gimmick than anything truly useful. And there is a vast difference between enhancing the natural flavour of a drink and completely changing it into something that shouldn't even be considered a beverage.

[death_glare]

I am not certain I would go that far, but it is certainly unpleasant. Especially when you are not expecting it.

[demonsheath]

I was making a few cups to put together for you to try. This was the first time you took one without my offering it.

[ Which seemed like so much progress, and now. Because of that creamer. Oh well. At least it got him to use his phone a little more. ]

I'll keep it to the side for any guests you may have.

It's an American staple. Specifically a basic white girl staple in America. Novelty drinks like that are what my generation is leaving behind for future generations. Sorry, buddy.

[untodeath]

Who is she? 😑

[death_glare]

My shinki. Have you forgotten who I was paired up with, already?

[death_glare]

Because I do not expect you to make me any form of food or beverage. Regardless of how well you normally brew my morning coffee. But, was it honestly necessary to purchase so many of these odd creamers?

Yes, save that horrid pumpkin flavor for visitors. Or better yet, give it to Sutcliffe. He seems to enjoy it.

Senior Spears, Are you certain you're not being a touch over the top?You needn't use them if you have no wish to do so after all. They're optional. If you've no desire to use them simply give them away. Letting yourself be a bit bothered by something so small, are you certain you're feeling well?

[death_glare]

I shouldn't be surprised, then. They do have a tendency to ruin things that were perfectly fine, to begin with.

[death_glare]

It was more a matter of expecting one flavour and getting something entirely unexpected and not to my tastes. Then to find out this pumpkin spice flavour has invaded nearly every sweet food imaginable, I simply cannot comprehend the reasoning behind it.

[nolittlesecret]

Look, America ain't got nothing on Japan half of the time. I mean, who needs that many flavors of kit kats? Isn't chocolate and strawberry enough? Who needs green tea and curry!

[death_glare]

What is a kit kat?

[nolittlesecret]

[Are you kidding him]

Chocolate covered wafer that you can get in any convenience store, or those Conbini's they got around the area.

[death_glare]

[ Hey, he's from Victorian England. There's still 50-something years for him to wait until he can experience that joy. ]

I will have to search for these. They sound like something I would enjoy.

The chocolate ones, at least.

[untodeath]

Absolutely not, but I shouldn't accept fault for questioning that terribly vague reference! It could have been any woman preparing your coffee. 😧

[nolittlesecret]

[Then how come Ron is more up to date than you?]

The strawberry ones aren't bad. White chocolate with strawberry mixed in. Another good one? Just straight up white chocolate.

[amongthethorns]

I suppose that does change things a bit but why be mad about them putting it in other things? People must like it.

If you'd like I'll make some cookies for you? Your favorites, of course. I was thinking of getting all of us together to celebrate over tea. If you find that agreeable and feel it would be a good idea I can begin the preperations.
