It’s time to end the pumpkin spice overload.

There are now pumpkin spice flavored cough drops at CVS, because sometimes people don’t know when to quit.

According to popular sweet treats Instagram account @Candyhunting, CVS is spicing up cold and flu season with pumpkin flavored menthol. Because we all know when you’re sick and can’t taste anything, you really need a pumpkin spice cough drop to make you feel better.

It seems we’ve reached peak pumpkin this year. The pumpkin spice explosion has been on the rise since Starbucks made the pumpkin spice latte the drink of fall, but the items corporations are coming up with to bandwagon onto the trend are getting more and more ridiculous.

According to Candy Hunting, there are also pumpkin spice: Milano cookies, Frosted Mini Wheats, Toaster’s strudel, Nestle Tollhouse cookies, Rice Krispies Treats, Ben and Jerry’s ice cream, Oreos, Werther’s Original and Thomas’ English muffins. Don’t worry, that last one is made with real pumpkin.

People can enjoy their pumpkin spice lattes, but we have to draw the line at cough drops.
