It may still be summer, but consumers are already able to get a taste of fall with new pumpkin spice-flavored products like Philadelphia Cream Cheese and Starbucks.
I can’t stand pumpkin but it, I think obviously, should be made all year. Is there some problem with production or maybe people only like the taste of it exclusively at that time of year?
People go out of their way to buy pumpkin spice versions of products they likely would not have bought originally because the limited time nature makes them seem more enticing. And to also buy products in greater volume or more frequently than they otherwise would, to enjoy why it lasts. FOMO, basically.
Same reason why “McRib is back” keeps being a thing.
I’ll buy a pumpkin or apple cider donut once or twice when they release around September. If they were available all year, I honestly doubt I would think about it or have it anymore than that. I can’t be the only one that feels that way.

It’s part of that “you’re in the season of happy now think of your childhood” thing that companies just sort of dreamed up
