Pumpkin spice season is upon us, and out of all the various pumpkin spice products, this one, I think, has crossed the line.

We are entering the notorious "Pumpkin Spice Season," and everyone is excited to soak in all things pumpkin spice. Soon, you will be seeing all kinds of pumpkin spice products on the market. Of course, you'll have the notorious Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte,  pumpkin spice donuts, and other desserts, but there are always a few products that are announced each year that are quite questionable.

In years past, we have seen some pretty odd and unnecessary pumpkin spice products in stores. Just last year, a company created Pumpkin Spice Deodorant. In 2019, SPAM released a pumpkin spice flavor. Why? I have even seen pumpkin spice gum; while it wasn't as odd as the previous products mentioned, it still wasn't a flavor of gum that was necessary. Heck, during the pandemic, there were pumpkin spice-scented masks that you could buy. A couple of years ago, we were even introduced to a pumpkin spice pairing that I don't think anyone saw coming: Pumpkin Spice Ramen Noodles. It doesn't stop there; even Dude Wipes are selling pumpkin spice scented wipes for your bum. That's actually kind of funny because they are calling them "DUMPkin Spice" wipes.

Now onto a new pumpkin spice-flavored product. I have to admit, if it weren't August, I'd think that this was some kind of April Fool's Day joke. However, that's not the case. New in 2025 is pumpkin spice...bacon?!

New Pumpkin Spice Bacon Available for a Limited Time

Limited Batch Hatfield Pumpkin Spice flavored thick-cut bacon is out in stores now. Look, I love bacon, and I feel like bacon is one of those things that doesn't need to have odd or unique flavors. Bacon is delicious on its own. But to make it pumpkin spice flavored...it might be the only time I've not said "yes" to bacon.

Hatfield appears to be regional to the East Coast and the southern United States, so this isn't something you can find in stores all throughout the country. However, Hatfield's website has a store locator to see if products are sold near you. As it turns out, there are a few places that sell Hatfield bacon in the Evansville area. They include Schnucks, Meijer, and Kroger, according to their website.

So if you want to get your hands on pumpkin spice bacon, by all means, go for it. Let us know if it is good or if it's an abomination when you do!
