its that time of year again. Stinky nauseating cinnamon pinecones

[OutHouse]

I really hate going to the grocery store and get assaulted by the pungent overpowering stink of those holiday cinnamon pine cones. Who buys those god awful things?

 

[lxskllr]

I probably will this year. I'm gonna setup a basket for my daughter, and I'll use them for accent.

 

[BoomerD]

Even worse...my wife used to make them...along with pine scented pine cones.

The smell can be quite overpowering sometimes.

When I saw this thread, I was thinking "People over 60."



Then this happened:

And glitter. Glitter season has begun. Shoot me now.

 

[slag]

I like the pine cones, but in moderation. 1 here, 1 there, its fine, but don't put a wicker basket full of them on the table or corner of the room because its too overpowering.

 

[CraKaJaX]

That easily gets trumped by all the good smells this time of year.

And the music. Bad Christmas music everywhere, 24/7.

 

[Anubis]

im glad I have no idea what these are

 

[MagnusTheBrewer]

They make great kindling. Who doesn't like fairy dust? The only bad Christmas music is the dogs barking Jingle Bells.

I have finally found common ground with OutHouse. There is hope for the future.

<== Off to buy me a jug of pumpkin spice engine coolant.

 

[Oyeve]

Yeah, the smell is overpowering as soon as you step into the supermarket.

 

[Ruptga]

Me too. Being a basement dweller has its advantages, right?

 

[Atomic Playboy]

Ditto. I've lived in the Pacific Northwest my entire life, so seeing pinecones is a pretty common occurrence, but I've never once seen one covered in cinnamon offered for sale in a supermarket. How is that a thing?

The coolant system is a (mostly) closed loop

what you want is pumpkin spice fuel additive

 

[Drako]

Those don't bother me as much as the vanilla scented candles.

I went to Lowes on Saturday to buy some plumbing supplies, and they had a palet full of those vanilla stink bombs out near the entrance for some reason - I almost wretched.

sounds like a midwestern thing

 

[Newell Steamer]

Assaulted.

Well, only one reasonable response:

 

[Ruptga]

I'd almost repressed the memory completely, but now I'm remembering the time I bought pumpkin spice mead because they were sold out of normal mead. It was like sweet burning with just a little spice and some retching thrown in. Nevar again. Pumpkin spice is for pies, and only pies.

Not on any car I've ever owned.

Let me guess, you only eat turkey for Thanksgiving too.

I don't really care for turkey in general, and I don't care what day it is, I eat what I like.
