\"Limited<\/a><\/p>\n

Call me basic, but I am all<\/em> about the pumpkin spice craze. However, when I first heard about Triscuit\u2019s attempt to sit at the pumpkin spice table, I was completely taken aback by Pumpkin & Spice. Please carefully note that strategically placed ampersand, you hipsters. <\/p>\n

As I was opening the box, I was wondering to myself what Pumpkin & Spice even meant. Is it sweet? Spicy? Savory? I had no idea what to expect so I was imagining worst case scenarios of it tasting like a Yankee Candle or overzealous holiday potpourri. <\/p>\n

I was disappointed that the box smelled mainly like cardboard with a hint of nutmeg & cinnamon (see what I did there with the ampersand?). In case you ever want to season your cardboard, nutmeg & cinnamon really complements the smell of cardboard! The crackers themselves just looked like a regular Triscuit in all its beautiful whole grain glory that could\u2019ve been woven by Rumpelstiltskin himself.<\/p>\n

\"Limited<\/a><\/p>\n

The first bite was a subtle brown sugar, cinnamon-y crunch. After a few more crunches, it just tasted like a regular Triscuit. To test for flavor consistency, I continued eating. Half a box later (whoops!), I concluded that it was just a regular Triscuit with a dusting of pumpkin spice and sugar. Meh. It wasn\u2019t offensive, but not as tasty as regular Triscuit (my record is a whole box in under 15 minutes.) Plus, because it\u2019s so subtle, it was like the sweetness started to become less and less noticeable the more I ate. <\/p>\n

Triscuit is always pushing itself as an appetizer to be topped with garnishes, so I had to try it. The box\u2019s \u201c3 steps to Delicious\u201d panel comprises of gouda cheese, cranberry sauce and sage leaves but ain\u2019t nobody got time for that! I slapped some cheddar cheese on it because cheddar\u2019s mildness works with everything…except Pumpkin & Spice. While the sweetness is subtle as previously mentioned, I just couldn\u2019t get past the sugary notes. Triscuit are supposed to be savory! <\/p>\n

If you stuck these with these a batch of regular Triscuit at a party, no one would be able to tell the difference. People would probably just assume the sweetness came from cross-contamination from neighboring appetizers. As a result of its lackluster attempt, Pumpkin & Spice definitely doesn\u2019t get to sit at the pumpkin spice table. Back to the kids\u2019 table with Pumpkin Spice Twinkies and Pumpkin Spice Milano Cookies, Triscuit! <\/p>\n
