Pumpkin is the "new" cranberry. Years ago, cranberry growers mouinted a full frontal campaign to convince America it needed and loved cranberry juice, etc. It took years, but sales soared,. Now we have pumpkin growers who once only sold whole pumpkins and canned pumpkin, for pies a couple of weeks out of the year. Over time, America is learning it needs something it didn't know it needed. Pumnkin (and spice)...!

Sounds like you might be on to something there we’d never thought of that! Given most pumpkin spiced things probably don’t even contain pumpkin but it’s great advertisement

There are pumpkin beers that appear around October. With enough marketing, consumers can be convinced to buy anything. Pomegranate is another one.

It’s always so fun to visit supermarkets in America and try the different snacks. Anything with chocolate wouldn’t be as good as if it was made with U.K. chocolate though xx

Americans are obsessed with Pumpkin Spice. Basically, all the spices that would go into a Pumpkin Pie but without the pumpkin. Aside from its pie form, I don’t really see American dishes using actual pumpkin as an ingredient. I find that pistachio-flavored things are a bit exaggerated (eg. pistachio ice cream) but when you eat actual pistachios, it’s a much more subtle flavor. I believe the flavor you were expecting from that toffee was the former. Also, “American chocolate is a big crap”? Really? All of America? A country the literal size of Western Europe? Not all American chocolate is Hershey’s. But I will say, and “no offense,” that if you think Cadbury is good chocolate, it’s not. It’s “a big crap” of sugar. 😉

Trader Joes, Target and Publix are the best shops for food, bar none.

I want to let you know that I'm NOT in love with pumpkin spice, Nicole however. . . Well, that's a different story. I do enjoy cranberry juice, as I believe it had helped keep the potential kidney stone issues out of the way. Anyway. . . On to watch our Trader Joe video from Josie's birthday weekend in Columbus.

You’re right, potatoes are gluten free but chips are processed and many processed foods contain hidden gluten. That’s why the manufacturer has felt it necessary to print that these ones are gluten free on the packaging because many aren’t 👍🏻
