By first wife had worked in a a peach cannery. She would not eat canned peach filling. Her job had been to divert peaches with a blemish to a separate conveyer, where they were sliced. The good half went into peach halves. The blemished half then went to be sliced again. Good ones went to sliced peaches, “bad” ones were diverted to pie filling. I imagine pumpkin “spice” is derived from lower in the quality chain than that.
Wait, wait wait! I always assumed ‘spice’ was modifying ‘pumpkin’. As in the spices used with pumpkin. So ‘pumpkin-spice’ latte, not pumpkin + spice latte.
And then I’m reading that customer demand led to adding actual pumpkin to the syrup? Are people mad?

If you don’t like them, don’t buy them.

Yeah. “Pumpkin spice” originally referred to the spices you add to pumpking when making pies and the like. But people are dumb, and here we are.
