America reaches peak pumpkin with Pumpkin Spice Oreos


America's obsession with all things pumpkin has officially gone too far.
On Sept. 24, Pumpkin Spice Oreos will hit grocery store shelves. While it's nice that Nabisco decided to wait until it is actually fall to release them, I have to ask: Are pumpkin spice Oreos really something we needed?
It was only a matter of time before America's favorite cookie entered the pumpkin game, though — with pumpkin yogurt, pumpkin bagels, and even pumpkin cheesecake ice cream already upon us, it's safe to say we've reached peak pumpkin spice.
