@1 RIGHT? Cadbury has Halloween "scream eggs" which are their regular creme eggs but with green "yolk" instead of yellow. They taste the same, but creep me out.
I say there's plenty of room for both Carmel Apple and Pumpkin Spice in the fall foods thunder dome. Two flavors enter and they agree to work out their differences over a hot cup of Chai-der.
Those caramel apple pops (3rd pic from the top, tootsie brand) have been around forever (at least in MN/the Midwest). You know a "seasonal" "flavor" has become pretty much too mainstream/popular when it gets its own Oreo variety (though TBH, I thought the caramel apple Oreos weren't all that bad).

Damn this new phone.
Starbucks is _way_ ahead of you.
Also, behind you.
And to your left and right.
And not pumpkin spice/caramel apple flavored chocolate.
If I'm going to tempt adult onset diabetes, I'm going the chocolate route.
Starbucks has had apple cider topped with caramel syrup for years.
Pumpkin spice is not a thing at all.
