I'm the first to admit that this is an odd thing to be annoyed at (I'm thinking that the blog might just become a series of short posts about things that annoy me), but I find it very annoying when people confuse pumpkin with pumpkin spice. This time of year, it's hard to go a day without having to listen/read someone complaining about how there isn't any pumpkin in their pumpkin spice latte -- which isn't surprising because pumpkin spice does not contain pumpkin.
Pumpkin spice is the spice that goes into pumpkin pie (Wikipedia on Pumpkin Spice). It is a very familiar taste and -- thank God -- completely masks the taste of pumpkin. Not having pumpkin in your pumpkin spice latte/candle/air freshener/ice cream/whatever is the point -- a feature and not a bug.
