News flash: your favorite pumpkin drinks aren't actually that pumpkin-y, or great (cider, coffee)

[nifear]

We now present six of the most popular and/or interesting iterations of the pumpkin drink, and break down exactly which are worth your hard-earned dollars that could otherwise be spent on One Tree Hill DVDs, which, much like some of these, contain zero actual pumpkin.

I like pumpkin and I enjoy baking with it, but the idea of drinking it is very unappealing.

It never occurred to me that a Pumpkin Spice Latte would actually have pumpkin in it. I know they're gimmicky, but they're also tasty.

You could say this for basically any flavor.

I've been craving a pumpkin latte all week and that Red Robbins drink sounds good by the way...

Pumpkin cappuccino is my drink of choice....yum

Worth is only something that can be determined by the purchaser. What you might find of worth, I probably won't. And vice versa.

And darn. Where will it all end? Next thing you're going to tell me is that my chocolate turtles don't have any turtle in them.

I love the Pumpkin Spice Latte at 7-11.

The reviews were fun to read, but like Hedgehog_Mom, the idea of drinking pumpkin isn't that appealing to me. I'll stick with hot spiced cider.

I don't even care for real pumpkin pie that much made with real pumpkins out of the patch not the canned Libby's stuff.
I cannot imagine trading in my coffee for anything with pumpkin flavor or has cider anything in it.

I have to tell my 8 year old that every time she sees a package!
