[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s just some combination of cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, cardamom, and ginger. Why don’t people rage about chai tea while they’re at it?

Oh that’s right, because chai tea is ‘exotic’ and ethnic, while pumpkin spice is perceived to be for suburban moms.  [/quote]

I mean, actual Indian people will rage about "chai tea," especially the Starbucks variety, which is neither chai nor even tea, and definitely not chai tea (which just means tea tea).

However, I actually like Starbucks chai, I just wish they'd call it something else. It tastes good though.

I also like actual chai.

I also like pumpkin spice.

People do a lot of weird virtue signaling with their food preferences and I think it's a waste of time. If you don't like pumpkin spice, don't consume it -- it's exceedingly easy to avoid by simply not ordering those items. Are they mad they have to see an ad for pumpkin spice? This is DC -- I've heard ads for aircraft carriers on the radio. I don't want one of those either. Grow up.

People like OP and others who are upset that other people might enjoy something they've deemed uncool or bougie or basic or whatever are tiresome. Luckily, unlike OP, I don't find it that hard to just ignore things that ignore me.[/quote]

Damn. I just thought the post was meant to be funny and lots of great quips would follow. Thanks to those of you who did but we just can’t have nice things. [/quote]
