Pumpkin Spice Caramel Corn - Aldi

Pumpkin Spice Caramel Corn - Aldi

Sorry Christmas enthusiasts, I've got some lingering pumpkin goodies to knock out before moving on to all things mint and cocoa related. (Not to mention my personal vendetta against Santa for turning my Halloween clearance shopping into a winter wonderland ON Halloween. Not cool, Santa. Not cool.)
For today's post I've got some pumpkin spiced caramel corn from Aldi. To be honest I wasn't too keen on buying this, because I thought it was going to be another novelty pumpkin spice product that no one wanted to eat that would clutter up my kitchen cabinets, but it proved me wrong.

Krispy Kreme Pumpkin Spiced Glazed - One Day Only!!

Pumpkin Spice Galzed Doughnut VS. Original Glaze

Krispy Kreme offered a classic glazed version of their pumpkin spiced doughnuts, but they were only available for ONE DAY in October. I was hype. I posted about it on the Sometimes Foodie Facebook page, and pretty much count down the days until to was offered, reminded everyone that day that it was out..and I totally forgot to pick some up for myself. I finally remembered after midnight and I was kicking myself. Weeks later, a shining ray of hope appeared. 

Krispy Kreme was bringing this special doughnut back for another one day event in November, so I seized this opportunity and went to straight to Krispy Kreme after work to secure some of these (and a few other) doughnuts.

Pumpkin Oolong Milk Tea (Iced) - Kung Fu Tea

Pumpkin Oolong Milk Tea (Iced) - Kung Fu Tea $4.00

Welp, this week has been a quite the roller coaster ride. (To say the least.)  

On a personal note, my debit card was compromised (boo), but the bank caught it right away and locked my account before anything could be stolen (yay). I drove over there to get that mess straightened out and I saw a new bubble tea shop had opened right next door! (Double yay!) Once my accounts were back in order, I treated myself to some tea.

Maine Root Pumpkin Pie Soda & Fox's Rocky Horror Review

Maine Root Pumpkin Pie Soda - Aldi $4.99

Maine Root isn't the only Pumpkin Pie soda on the block, and it's actually not the first one I've ever drank either. Years ago, back in the dark-ages of blogging when everyone was on Livejournal and Deadjournal, Jones Soda would release seasonal soda sets. There would be a Thanksgiving dinner set, with gravy, stuffing and other bizarre savory flavored sodas, and a pie set with different seasonal pie flavors. My mother bought the sets from Target so she and my sister and I could try every single flavor...but that was so long ago I can't remember how any of them tasted. I have a clear warning-sign-of-a-memory saying Thanksgiving dinner is NOT a good idea for sodas, but the pumpkin pie ones were completely forgotten. Was it so bad I blanked it out? Or was it simply overshadowed by the horror that was stuffing-flavored-soda?

Time to make some new memories! (Hopefully I'll retain these ones.)
