A new study suggests that food makers are more interested in pumpkin spice everything that we are interested in eating, drinking or smelling.

Here is why the study says so:  the number of pumpkin spiced products for sale had risen by nearly 50 percent as compared to the previous year but sales went up just 21 percent.

The most common online searches that led people to buy such fall flavored products focused mainly around coffee.
