White Pumpkin Pie M&M's feature a white chocolate filling infused with flavors from homemade pumpkin pie (think cinnamon and cloves),hit shelves at Walmart stores around the country last week and will spread to other grocery and convenience stores in the coming weeks.
... is it too much to ask that companies at least wait until the back-to-school displays have been taken down before bombarding us with fall-flavored goodies?!
M&M's aren't the only early birds: On Friday, Halo Top ice cream released a limited edition Pumpkin Pie flavor in honor of fall, and earlier this week,
Starbucks announced that ready-to-drink Pumpkin Spice Latte products will be available in grocery stores around the country later this month.
Here's hoping you're not too pumpkin-spiced-out by the time fall actually rolls around!

I love the Fall, so I don't mind it being pushed. But when they start pushing actual holidays early (christmas tree displays right after Halloween?), that starts provoking anxiety in me. Don't rush me on the holidays.

It has always been my favorite.
At 64, it still is.

(34,195 posts)Does it taste like the filling of a pumpkin pie?

(28,394 posts)Mostly like the spices, cinnamon and a little cloves. The best one was one of the flip cartons that had crunchy stuff and pumpkin seeds. That one was really good but I don't know if it it's out yet (or this year). I think I just had Oikos-- It was good.
