Pumpkin spice-also known as pumpkin pie spice-is typically made from a combination of Southeast Asian spices: ground cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and sometimes ginger. But how did Pumpkin Spice become an option in about every food or drink during the fall season? Get your latte or SPAM ready and find out.

5:27 Shout out to Max! (Tasting History with Max Miller) from a 2 year old video titled "Pumpion Pie from 1670" Also, at 6:09 it's Townsends a channel exploring the 18th Century lifestyle. Both great channels worth checking out. 😀
I love Max! Such a good channel!
I spotted that too. I love Max! And Townsends😊
Yesss! I love Max too! I hope he gets to check out his video being used as a visual reference. I'm subbed to Townsends, but haven't really watched yet.
@@Munchkin325 I'm subscribed to both. I just love Max, and never miss his videos. But, I pick and choose and not as attentive to Townsends,
Shout out to my wife for loving PSLs, and refusing to show any interest in a pumpkin spiced history video, or 69 second pumpkin spiced recap performed by her husband. This video has proven to be a real gem.
So you married a sheep. Congrats.
@@bigguy7353 GIRL LIKE FLAVOR = DUMB😡
Try telling your wife about the history of Pumpkin Spice, I’m sure she’ll be riveted.
69 nice

A funny thing is, a lot of these companies have enough to do Pumpkin Spice year round but don't. Because this is the peak time to capitalize on it
Chu ching! 💰 🤑 💸 💲
You can eat turkey roast and cranberry sauce ever day if you want.
But most people don't, because they like certain types of food and drink at certain times of the year.
The real fun thing is that its only popular in the USA, never seen that stuff anywhere in europe only like once a year at Starbucks and noone want that stuff
it's marketable after all. Starbucks seems to nail it perfectly.
I been tryna make it out the hood so on my UA-cam channel i do food reviews while I’m high 😩
In the Netherlands we have pretty much exactly the same blend of spices, but we don't use it with pumpkin. It's called "cookie spices" because they're used for spiced cookies, and rather than pumpkin it's paired with almond paste and brown sugar.
Thank you for inadvertently helping me know what pumpkin spice tastes like! Signed, an Asian person who's had speculaas but not pumpkin spice.
That sounds delicious
Oh it's speculous? I've had that
In Finland it's known as gingerbread spice. Pumpkin spice is more cinnamon-heavy
I once made my own pumpkin spice syrup and added it into pancakes (replace 1/4 cup of the liquid ingredients). Delicious!
That does sound good :) I've had pumpkin pancakes from Denny's before and they tasted just like the pie, very good!
What time is breakfast?
Well, share with the class. We need to evaluate. For science. 😆
I add pumpkin pie spice to my crepes
We have pumpkin pancakes most Saturday mornings, it is the best!
"I heard a pumpkin a day keeps the goblins away." -a play on the Pembrokeshire saying.
I _LOVE_ pumpkin pie. This is my 2nd favorite time of year just because of that. I know I can buy it any time, or even make it, but this time of year it is acceptable to do so. I get weird looks when I request pumpkin pie from family as my birthday "cake" in July. Pumpkins were once called "pumpion". I read a recipe from 1658 for "Pumpion Pye", in a book called _The Compleat Cook_ . I never made it, but it was neat to see that the dish goes so far back.
The birthday boy/girl gets what they want, no matter the season. My birthday's also in July, so I fell in love with ice cream cake from Carvel...my brother also loved ice cream cake, so he got one on his birthday...in January.
Yess, it should be whatever the birthday person wants. My mom usually requests flan, 1000 layers cake or chocolate cake with ice cream. The rest of us always get chocolate cake with ice cream. I think you would like pumpkin bread with chocolate chips, its perfection, you should try it!
I've never understood why people think something is delicious but refuse to eat more than one day a year! Why deprive yourself of the joy?
I can eat pumpkin pie, if it is buried under so much whipped cream that you may never find the pie.
A true man of taste I see
It's basicly like indian Masala Chai (Tea) but with coffee.
You can make it yourself. Buy the spices whole and let them simmer (not boil) in water: Ginger, nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves, cardamom, fennel seeds... actual black peppercorns... there's plenty of room for experiments.
Yeah but good luck getting the average joe doing that before their commute to work
I really enjoy a nice strong chai tea with cream in the winter. Make it myself and keep it in the fridge.
I'm not a weirdo that raves about pumpkin spice whenever it's fall, but I do like it, and I wish some pumpkin spice things were year round. Like donuts, I think the pumpkin spice flavor goes good with it. Maybe I'll try to make the spice blend myself, I never really realized that it's not that complicated
It's really not hard, but I'm lazy lol. 🤷🏾♀️
These are the same spices used for ham, too. So I want to try Ham Spice lattes!
Blend up some pumpkin spice Spam
😂😂
@redstar8226 I was going to respond with 'how 'bout no?' Then I read ur response. 🤣🤣🤣. Ur response definitely beat mine! I speak as someone who LOVES pumpkin pie, but otherwise detests anything else pumpkin spice flavored.
I do ham with Brown Sugar, cloves, pineapple, and maraschino cherry.
Lived for many years in Concord, MA. Either you love everything Autumn ... or you're wrong. We take this kind of stuff very seriously ... right up there with the Grapes.
especially with the grapes
@@markgaudry7549 Right, You are, Sir! Absolutely! Don't mess with our Grapes. Don't even look at 'em the wrong way. And if You even think about 'em ... You'd better think good thoughts. Else, ... Well, I'd hate to think.
Thanks for the accurate note!

I want to shoutout to James Townsend for his brief cameo eating pumpkin pie from one of his cooking vids found on his Townsends channel on YT. I enjoy his 17-18th century American history coupled with cooking channel.
4:20 We still have a full-service gas station in my hometown (Burwell, Nebraska), where the attendants wash your windshield and pump your gas.
It is called Burwell Independent Oil.
Thank you for elucidating this mystery I've never understood.
Pumpkin Spice is the McRib of coffees, it's here for a limited time so we consume it till it's gone. But if it stayed longer, we would get tired of it.
As a pumpkin spice/autumn/Halloween machine that starts powering up her systems as prematurely as early August every single year, I can answer this 13-minute video in a matter of seconds! Because It's Tasty, Mate 🎃🍂☕
They Might Be Giants should write a song called Pumpkin Spice
It's Weird History Food Sunday! What a cool video about Pumpkin Spice, I didn't know it had such a history/story.
Would be awesome to see more Autumn/Fall videos, especially Halloween ones, if you can!
1:35 Those corn shocks, the teepee-like tend make of corn, are all over Vala's Pumpkin Patch & Apple Orchard.
I love that you chose this 😅 and the opening picture lol
Pumpkin Spice was around long before Starbucks existed
Definitely
Bruh have you even watched the video, the history and all that?
“Spices such as rosemary, thyme, sage and parsley”… those are HERBS! Those were popular with poorer people as they could grow them themselves so weren’t just cheaper, they were basically free.
Rookie mistake
Spices are dried herbs. Herbs are fresh
@@victoriahedlund7415 No.
@@victoriahedlund7415 I don’t think so, you get dried herbs and herbs tend to be leaves and stalks. Spices are dried and ground seeds, bark or fruit of a plant.
@@victoriahedlund7415 me when I spread misinformation 🤭
Also I spy tasting history! 🥰
I don’t drink coffee so I’ve never had a PSL, but I always assumed it had pumpkin in it as well as the spice, it makes so much more sense now!
In Wisconsin, fall doesn't start until Culver's brings back the Salted Caramel Pumpkin Spice Concrete Mixer, and winter starts as soon as it's gone, minus the snow that may have already piled up in the northern parts of the state by late October/November
3:09 Bones Coffee has a flavor called Santa Jack (with Jack Skellington on the label), it is inspired by the film The Nightmare before Christmas.
The flavor is described as Cranberry Creme Brulee.
That sounds good. I like flavored coffee but not sweet coffee.
November to January is my favorite time of the year in Starbucks because it's Eggnog latte season.
I loved every detail of this episode!
9:29 "Libby's" always reminds me of the character Libby Chessler on the tv series Sabrina The Teenage Witch.
She is a great character, very memorable!
The only reason I get a pumpkin spice latte is due to a nostalgia feeling. Brings me back to a certain point in my life when I was happy
Saw the Tasting History cameo!! We love Max Miller!!!
For a long time, I never could grasp the reasons for the appeal of pumpkin spice. Nowadays, just about anything and everything from foods, drinks, and other things have encompassed this flavor. I'm not too crazy about it, but at least after seeing this video, I now am fully aware of its' universal appeal. Thanks WHF for the very interesting and insightful video. 🎃🍁🍂🧡💛🖤
Thanks for doing this. Been wondering about this for years.
I've been curious about this for a while.
1:14 That reminds me of Vala's Pumpkin Patch & Apple Orchard, there are huge fields full of pumpkins!
I didnt know that duke created pumpkin spice, i always thought that he was the inventer of earls sandwiches and dukes mayo
Pumpkin pie is great
Now I want a pumpkin spice milk shake
I wasn't looking at the screen for a sec and thought i heard "they put it in their pestos" @4:55
and i was like "pumpkin pesto might be pretty good."
(You did in fact say "frescoes" ) but now i'm getting a recipe idea for that squash on the counter and all them herbs in the yard...
I just came for some weird food history but i'm leaving with dinner inspiration for weird food presently.
Please do an episode about kale. When I was a kid, I used to eat the garnish, which was kale, probably not washed... now it seems like kale suddenly became popular
8:00 I was once tasked with making a pumpkin spice syrup for a diner I was working at... and I put pumpkin puree in it as an experiment. That recipe won out and I was making a gallon of it a day during October. This was in Salem, MA, by the way. So there's gotta be something to it
There's even pumpkin spice soap. It's a fragrance I can't resist.
I hate that some foods are only available for short windows. If I like a food, I'd gladly have it anytime. I can understand stuff like egg nog being seasonal because of the shelf life, but there is no reason why pumpkin spice couldn't be available year round. I'd gladly have it anytime.
11:15 Native's Scentaur (played by comedian Lauren Howard Hayes) is so funny, such a great character!
That is one of my favorite commercials.
As a southern girl, if it doesn't taste like pumpkin pie, I don't want it. Pumpkin spice drinks from establishments never deliver for me. Now the food bloggers have some recipes that blow the coffee joints out of the water. Even still, I'm more partial the the Apple Brown Sugar combo for fall, in general.
That sounds good
Yes! I need that pumpkin flavor to come through with a kick!
Apple brown sugar is a great idea!
forget apples and oranges but funny pumpkin happens to be orange.
Step dad got me addicted to Lil Debbie Pumpkin Flips as a kid and I look forward to them every year
Nothing beats that immiscible mixture of latte and pumpkin spice that leaves your mouth all gritty. 🧡Leave the pumpkin spice in baked goods and your frappé (otherwise known as a milkshake).
Chilean here. I'm amazed. We don't do the pumpkin spice thing (it's Spring now) even if there are Starbucks here, but some of us know of the trend in the USA. I never thought they added the actual ground spices to coffee, but some kind of essence.
Amazing.
I fucking love pumpkin spice latte.
@@MariaMartinez-researcher Usually its just a flavor base or syrup.
If you want to make your own: make a strong chai, strain any loose spices out, add a lot of sugar, reduce it down to a syrup
Minus the cardamom, you basically have pumpkin spice.
Hahahaha! The Dune Sandworm in the opening made me snort-laugh
its because its harvest time same for Apple Cider Cider Donuts Candied Apples etc.
Wow! I just learned something today! I didn’t know the history of pumpkin spice. Thank you for your videos. Every time I watch one I learn something new.
Just saying.. I love this channel!! thank you all for a fun unique-ish experience...
You can never have too much pumpkin spice anything
I beg to differ.
Great video! Especially since I absolutely despise pumpkin spice anything! 😂😂 Give me butterscotch or pecan any day
I fought the urge to try pumpkin spice until it started to get big in 2008. I had my first Pumpkin Spice coffee from a Speedway on my way to work. It was good. I only had three more during that fall and then maybe have one a season each year since then. I do the same with McDonalds Shamrock shakes - one is enough.
I love the shamrock oreo mcflurry but I only did the grimace shake once as well. I've had some pumpkin spice coffees from gas station convenience stores but pumpkin cream cold brew at Starbucks is the newer thing.
Its just something to look forward to every year 😊
Never liked pumpkin pie or anything pumpkin spiced but my family still asks me to bake them pies for the holidays.
You don't have to make pumpkin pie. Make pecan and others better pies
Or do the one weird trick where pumpkin pie doesn’t actually have to contain any pumpkin, make it out of sweet potato instead
8:40 "dense corporate speak" - LOVE IT!
When I make crepes I add a little pumpkin pie spice to the mix and they always come out tasting amazing!
Never understood Pumpkin Spice’s popularity. As John Oliver once said, it tastes like a candle smells.
artificial maybe but many candles are made to smell like things like apple cinnamon to sugar cookie as well.
Mmmmm liquid christmas cookies! I love it!
It doesn't hurt if you also add a little cardamom.
The weather is a little too warm for UGG boots just yet, but when it gets colder I'm going to cuddle up with all the warm, spicy beverages.
My favorite pumpkin spice treat is a pumpkin de-lite smoothie from smoothie king 🙂
I guess I’m an OG.
Been drinking these since 2003.
But they definitely do not taste the same as in 2003-2006.
Those were really good.
October 1 and pumpkin spice! Perfection!
Bwahaha--"New World, Who Dis?" @3:25
It's the little touches of blink-and-you-miss-it humour that make the Weird History channels my favourites. It feels like a reward for my ADHD somehow.
Ive been trying to tell people its pretty much just nutmeg and cinnamon. Pumpkin has nothing to do with it and no one believes me.
They added pretty much the same spice blend to lots of dishes in the Middle Ages, long before they had pumpkins.
10:23 When my friend and I went to a Redman/Everclear concert in Lincoln, Nebraska, the mayor of Lincoln gave Everclear frontman Art Alexakis the key to the city.
Art was so caught off guard for the gesture that he said "My mom wouldn't get me a key to our house!" right before he started to rock his guitar.
I love the pumpkin(actual pumpkin) and spice combo. But I have found just the spice part isn't as appealing to my taste buds.
Fall being my favorite season, I pretty much Love anything that’s Pumpkin related!!!!🎃🎃🎃🤗🤗🤗
1:41 What a cool trade that would be, to be a spice trader!
If they come out with an apple pie latte then I'll give that a try ;) I'm more parcial to apple pie than pumpkin. ♥
starbucks has apple crumble or whatever shaken espresso. A bit sweeter than the pumpkin flavored stuff imo.
Really interesting! I actually never heard about the whole pumpkin spice thing until two or three years ago but never paid much attention to it because it seemed to be one of these over the top hypes. This year I read up a bit about it because "what does that even mean?" Ended up learning it's regular cookie seasoning with a fancy name and spices I throw in my tea every once in a while anyway. Looks like I haven't been missing out on anything 😅
0:10 coming in hot, “the sober and intelligent pumpkin spice Twinkie” was a great laugh
3:23 Michael Knowles would love this episode!
I'm a pumpkin spice fan, but not at Starbucks. They priced me out a long time ago. I just tried pumpkin spice red vines & they were great.
This video could be 5 seconds long and just have bold text "it tastes good"
*me sitting here eating homemade pumpkin spice pancakes and drinking a homemade pumpkin spice latte*
"I'm not addicted. I can stop any time!"
I've never left a comment my friend but I watched every thing at least once keep it up Merry Christmas to you and your's
11:59 I saw a commercial recently about the Hooked On Phonics girl as an adult mother...that was psychelic.
Even Don Draper would have loved that commercial!
I remember having a pumpkin spice cappuchino-type drink at a Kwik Trip gas station in the late 90's...Starbucks did not invent anything...
Just made pumpkin spice carrot raisin muffins, Excellent!
Bkuz their to nice😬thank you E cider just spewd out mi nose I laughed so hard💰😎🚬😤
4:01 Rowan Atkinson is so funny!
Pumpkin Spice has no legitimate reason to be seasonal, nor does it need to be used on EVERYTHING. But, it IS really good with SOME products.
11:37 I remember the haters for television, video games, and cartoons when they were gaining a certain level of popularity.
Thanks for this! 🎃 #WeirdHistoryFood #PumpkinSpice #Spice #Cinnamon #Nutmeg #Cloves #Ginger #Allspice
I have a pumpkin spice candle! Its my favorite.
This would be a good time to talk about the Punkin' Chunkin' contest.
Love pumpkin spice latte since it came out
I made smoothies and cold coffee drinks with spiced pumpkin puree before Starbucks did:)
Key to the city!
And there are all of the pumpkin spice air fresheners, sprays, and candles. All available in the Fall.
Someone I know hadd an apple and cinnamon air freshener on in the middle of summer this year, it was just plain wrong!
@@mgthestrange9098 I can't stop laughing.
In Thailand, we have similar craze for Thai tea - we just put it in everything eg. bun, pie, ice cream, cake and now even shower cream. I will try pumpkin spices soon now that it's become easier to obtain here.
I love pumpkin spice!🎃🧡 Happy Spooktober👻🦇🪦🖤

The intro picture of that group of women who loves pumpkin has me dying and the ugg boot reference 😂😂😂😂
I've loathed and despised pumpkin and pumpkin spice my whole life and try to avoid it but it is ubiquitous this time of year. I go to group dinners this time of year where there is only pumpkin pie for dessert and some people are like what is wrong with you why do you not like it? I look forward to the eggnog and peppermint coming soon.
5:41 That is a cook book that someone like Little Orphan Annie would own.
So glad I live in the UK.
For autumn, I prefer lavender jam with lavender cream on a plain, homemade lavender scone.
Nobody asked
