Has Pumpkin Spice Jumped The Shark? Pumpkin Spice Chicken Sausage Unveiled
By Christy Strawser
DETROIT (CBS Detroit) It started as a rumor on social media, and we were suspicious.
Pumpkin spice flavored sausage? No way.
Well, it's just been confirmed. There is such a thing, and it's sold by the Giant Food Stores, an East Coast grocery chain.
@CBSDetroit yes our Nature's Promise Pumpkin Chicken Sausage is available now. http://t.co/tJOZRhHI48

I like Pumpkin Spice stuff (go ahead and judge me) but… PS Chicken Sausage is crossing the line.
