Indeed. By BriscoBrands
Et·som·ni·a (/etˈsämnēə/), noun, 1. a sleep disorder caused by obsessive Etsy browsing. 2. the surprising arrival of weird handmade merchandise ordered when one is only half conscious. (True story.)
This week’s edition is about the nutty proliferation of pumpkin crap which has suddenly appeared in every commercial, on every menu, in everything from pet shampoo and dog treats to beloved snack cakes and classic candy. Look, I like the occasional pumpkin spice latte (that’s PSL to those in the know) as much as the next guy, but enough is enough!
As usual, links to the items for sale appear below each picture. For more Etsy fun, check out all my weekly Etsomnia™ posts. Follow me on Bloglovin!

All the Nope
As disturbing as this whole thing is, oddly enough, it’s the “notes of pear” that disturb me the most
Thanks to Etsy, now you can make your lingerie drawer smell like pumpkin and the elderly
And this is why you can’t have nice things. Like a boyfriend
Proof positive that babies can make anything cute. Sort of
Please brooch responsibly. You wouldn’t want to make a pull in your pumpkin sweater
Hipsters love Autumn. Douches
Somebody call the authorities. This pumpkin pie head thing amounts to child abuse
I would love to tell you what this cat is thinking, but this is a family show
This pumpkin/kitten statement necklace is so deep into the awfulness scale, it has almost swung back around to awesome
What size would the money have to be to necessitate a coin purse that size?

Of all the ugliest, I would say that is the least offensive.

I agree with you; sometime over the last couple of years, everyone has lost their mind with this pumpkin spice thing. The dog treats crack me up because dogs don’t care what the treat tastes like, they will eat their own poo for crying out loud. The Doritos and the Listerine are the best of your picks today, though. First you eat the PS Doritos (which sound gross BTW), then you rinse your mouth with PS Listerine…NASTY!

There’s got to be an explanation for it’s overwhelming popularity. Either it contains mind-altering drugs, or pumpkin spice is people.

It’s a problem I struggle with every day. (I often lose that struggle, F.Y.I.) How are you? Haven’t heard from you in ages!

You have outdone yourself: there is nothing remotely appealing in this week’s showcase. I loathe pumpkin spice. It is entirely vile. The fact that entire shelves in the supermarket are filled with every conceivable product made over with pumpkin spice baffles me and makes me dry heave.

I confess to liking it in moderation, but I understand how that volume of something you dislike must be awful. I feel about pumpkin spice how I feel about Christmas. Good in theory, nice in VERY small doses, completely ruined every year by obnoxious overexposure. And yet every year, I am surprised. I’m an idiot that way.
