How Early is Too Early for Pumpkin Spice?

It's slowly happening.

Pumpkin Spice season is creeping in on us.

Over the weekend I was shopping in Christmas Tree Shoppe in Poughkeepsie when I found myself in their food section, which I didn't know they had. It was stocked with boxed snacks like crackers, chips, popcorn and cereal. And that's when I saw it.

Pumpkin Spice Cheerios on the shelf. My eyes scanned the area and notice the burnt orange colors and realized that there was a full section of Pumpkin Spice flavored food and drink. Coffee, tea, breads, cereals. All in Pumpkin Spice flavor.

Listen, I'm a huge fan. I even save pumpkin spice k-cups for after the fall season. But Pumpkin Spice in the beginning of August is a hard no from me. Late August, early September is perfect. But we're still reeling in the sunshine and fantastic weather.

I know Dunkin usually debuts their Pumpkin beverages around August 20th. When is too early for Pumpkin Spice? Would you eat the fall flavored foods in August?
