The American Public is getting more gullible. That's why I'm here -to help you cut through the crap! What I have to tell you, today, takes the prize for the biggest load of it, this decade! Pumpkin Spice -need I say more? Probably not, but you can bet I'm gonna!
Every era has its imposters -those of you who remember the "Gas Crunch" of the 1970s know what I'm talking about. Hoaxes, Urban Myths, Snake-Oil Merchants and flat out Liars abound in our society and I'm here to take out the trash!
We still have the gas crunch hoax abounding -but I don't think anyone in their right mind is falling for it. We gotta take some things in the wallet, no way around that. But this...
Snoopy used to try to convince us that the Great Pumpkin really existed -but that was pantomime. Charlie Schultz was only in it for the humor. Now, however, we have people who would have you believe that pumpkins are a seasonal treat. Oh yeah? Because of what? I don't know where YOU shop, but I can get bananas all the year round! What makes pumpkins so special?
Do you really think that Starbucks sends people out to harvest squash?
Odds are good that they don't even have to skip to the grocery store to buy a can of pumpkin, like you do, when you're making pies for your in-laws and out-laws! If Safeway can carry canned pumpkin all year long, why can't Sysco? Since when did pumpkin become such a commodity?
I'll tell you, "since when..." Since the gullible public began buying into the idea -that's 'since when!'
So are apples going seasonal too? Oh btw who made pumpkin a spice?!!? Pepper is a spice!!
