@mamallamallama I think what is referred to as "pumpkin spice" is really just a spice blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves.ย I think it's been dubbed pumpkin spice because it's often used in pumpkin pie and it's a fall thing.ย I love all those spices and I also love pumpkin, so I have no problem with pumpkin spice in general or actual pumpkin stuff.ย I do think it's turned into a marketing thing and gone wild, showing up in places I'd rather it not be (pumpkin spice cheerios?ย peeps?ย no thank you).
Edited to add a link to an article I enjoyed about pumpkin spice.
My unpopular opinions: Seinfeld is not funny. Avocados (including guac) are gross. Ketchup should be room temperature, not cold.
Now, in response, I have to say I am indeed seeing unpopular opinions because I love pumpkin things (I don't love pumpkin spice, but things with actual pumpkin in them - love 'em) and I can't stand sweet wine @Mamallamallama@kadeephd But @Serenamarr I hate all cheez its, so I can agree with you haha.ย
I agree - not a fan of pumpkin spice! I like pumpkin pie and pumpkin bread. But the actual spice part, Iโm not a fan of. I also donโt like hot apple cider because of the spice. Iโd rather have hot chocolate or coffee!ย
FFTC: I typed โhot apple spiderโ and just stared at it for a while. I knew it wasnโt right but I couldnโt figure out why. ๐
@theblondebump, I am so with you on Seinfeld. I've never gotten the hype.
My UO is... I am so over smart phones and I really miss having a dumb phone. I've had a smart phone since iPhone Original and I'm getting old and find myself longing for a time pre social media and pre smart phones.ย
@aisukurimsarang I'm tempted to ditch FB but that is where my last BMB migrated to.ย I use it mostly for that.ย I do find myself mindlessly scrolling too though.
@kadeephd I'm counting down the days until we migrate to FB, so much easier!ย
haha @BuckeyeNut05 I dislike them so much that I tell servers at restaurants I'm allergic so there's no way they can accidentally put any on my plate AT ALL. bleh.ย
I take frequent FB breaks and if it wasnโt for my J14 and D16 groups being there, Iโd probably give up on it altogether. I spend wayyyy too much time mindlessly scrolling through my newsfeed and it usually just makes me sad but then I keep doing it. ๐คฆ๐ปโโ๏ธ
@Serenamarr I love Extra Toasty Cheez-It! But I like all Cheez-It so that is no surprise.
I'm an opinionated person in general, but I can never think of an UO for these threads - probably because I have so many of them, they're just commonplace for me. But I have an old standby I use when I can't think of anything else: Britney Spears sucks. She always has. She is not talented. She can't sing. She got famous because of her body. And now that she's done plastic surgery on her face, she just looks weird.
I thought of another one! Taking two different breeds of purebred dogs and breeding them does not make a purebred dog. I can't believe how much people pay for dogs like "labradoodles."
@Lexibizzel yep, mine is a bump spin-off group too! Thatโs funny! The group Iโm in was formed pretty late - maybe even after babies were born, I donโt remember now.ย
@aisukurimsarang ย yes LOTR!!! I need to follow these LOTR accounts, what are their tags?ย
I think having more than 1 television per household is unnecessary and wasteful.ย I hate bananas, especially their smell, I threw up unpeeling one for my daughter the other morning.ย ย
@Lexibizzel and @bblair24 aw I was almost in the D16 bump group! I was originally due in November but at my 9 week appointment they changed my due date to December 10th. I almost switched but felt like I was already so far in with November I stayed. He ended up being a November baby anyway.ย
My UO is I hate syrup. Even not pregnant the smell grossed me out.
@forevertired oh man I love maple syrup! As long as itโs 100% real syrup - I wonโt touch the other stuff ๐
@theblondebump@kadeephd I canโt wait until we migrate over to FB!! I love the convos & hive mind of bump boards but dang this site/app is so hard to use and drives me NUTS!!
Im not a Seinfeld fan either - and my UO - Iโm not really a Friends fan either. I know, I know. Some of them are funny but meh, I just never got on that bandwagon.ย
@theblondebump we eat avocado almost every single day!!!
FB really is so much easier than TB. I was hesitant to join a group early on in D16 because we had this huge catfish blowup in J14 and it scared me. ๐ This girl was in our bmb, posting as a mom of multiple children, and turned out to be some teenage girl that was stealing pics from a womanโs blog and using them as her HDBD pics. She usedย pictures of kids from the internet too as her own children. She was one of the more popular people in the group and started so many random and personal GTKY threads. The whole thing was creepy and sad and made me hesitate putting too much out there too soon! We had some super intuitive women that figured it out a month or two after our babies were born. So crazy.ย
@bblair24 wow, that is really sad about that catfish girl - how lonely do you have to be to do something like that??
@goldpolkadot hahaha, you guys eat avocados every day and we watch friends every day (fav show ever)!
@bbrahmbhatt I'm with you on the bananas. I'd MUCH rather have a little green than any brown. As soon as they get a little soft I'm not a fan. Meanwhile DH eats the ones that I would have thrown out a week ago that are, in my opinion, good only for making banana bread.ย
Natural Pb is thhhhheeee worst! I do prefer bananas to be somewhere between green tinge and spots. Itโs like a day or two of a sweet spot and then they either have to get made into banana muffins or go into the freezer for smoothies ๐
Re: UO Thursday 10/22
My UO: sweet wine is better than dry wine.
All things pumpkin. I understand foods with pumpkin more than the pumpkin flavored stuff. But all of it grosses me out.ย

My UO is that the only way to eat bananas is with a tinge of green. Also that "natural" peanut butter just isnt good.ย
