"Nobody likes the pumpkin spice!"
Uhm... kind of easy to point out that yeah, a LOT of people like the pumpkin spice...
Unless stores have adoped a new paradigm for sales success... "From now on, we're only going to be selling what people DON'T like and DON'T buy! We'll be rich!"
I'm thinking Ben needs a Snickers... a pumpkin spice snickers...
When I worked on contract at State Department in Washington, the office I was in was between student housing and the campus for George Washington University. Near the student housing was a Starbucks. During the fall all the students would hit Starbucks and get their PS lattes. By the time they got to my building they were largely done with them and would ditch the cups in the trash cans out front.
The area out my building REEKED of pumpkin spice for months.
