Pumpkin pie begs to differ.  It would be just a bunch of mashed up squash without pumpkin spice.

Seasonally flavored drinks in general. I can get around hot vs cold drinks in winter and summer but not delegating certain flavors to different months.

Fidget spinners and those rubber pop things or whatever they're called. I'm sorry, but I just don't get the hype.

Agree or disagree:  Job security is overrated.

It seems to me that 'job security' is a classic response to a variety of annoying job-related things–especially a constant workload that seems overwhelming, but also nobody else at your work knowing how to do what you do.  I've often thought that 'job security' is small compensation for something that causes you stress.  And yet one big reasons I still work where I do and haven't looked elsewhere is that I have 'job security' here.

Depends, considering I make an additional 7% with my benefit contributing matchings and I have a reliable pension it makes a lot of the BS I deal with worth it.  When those things didn't exist in past employment I would jump ship with far greater frequency despite being a tenured.

Pickup trucks.
Wrestling and boxing. The former is entirely fake, and for the latter, who wants to watch people get hurt?

If you have job security, it probably means your coworkers do too–even the ones that make more work for everyone else because they're incompetent.

Boxing used to be pretty fantastic back in the 1980s.  I would venture a guess that a lot of people who watch sports in general find an appeal to potential injury.  It certainly was an attraction with crowds in auto racing and hockey.

So often, "get out there and vote" is touted as the ultimate path to change society–when in fact, there are likely a couple of other paths a person could pursue instead that would have more real impact.

This, almost a total waste of time except for things like ballot propositions I've found.

- Bacon on hamburgers

Agreed.  Bacon and cheese and a fried egg on a hamburger, on the other hand, is heavenly.

I've spent years trying to convince my wife to no avail that eggs are a fantastic compliment on all forms of sandwiches.

I've made plenty of pumpkin pies from scratch in my lifetime. Every pumpkin pie recipe I've used called for mostly cinnamon with some combo of cloves, ginger, nutmeg, and/or allspice for spices. Not one called for "pumpkin spice." Pumpkin spice does not exist in nature; it's just a marketing gimmick though I'm sure Durkee's or someone else has a premixed version in the spice aisle.

My Navy chief on Midway loved cinnamon in his coffee so we added it to the coffee in the filter basket to brew. This was the early 80s so nobody called it pumpkin spice. It was just coffee with cinnamon. It wasn't a seasonal thing.

Anybody who has ever been denied the right to vote will disagree.

The Electoral College makes individual voting in Presidential Elections basically worthless.

Eh, it sort of depends on where you live. Oklahoma has batshit insane politics, but also, only something like 10% of the people vote. If we could get the other 90% of people to vote, we might actually be able to chase out the crazies and end up with a functional state government. If not, at least we'd know that's truly the government that Oklahoma wants.
