From the perennial popularity of Starbucks' pumpkin spices lattes to the annual introduction of strange, new pumpkin-related products, the brightly-colored crop seems to hold a special place in the hearts of Americans

Nielsen data reveals Americans spend about half a billion dollars on pumpkin spice products every year., Pumpkin Spice Lattes earned the company its best sales week of all time when the drink was reintroduced to fans on Aug. 30."It's part of a tradition, it's included in movies," said Nick Kokot, 20, a second-year college student and self-proclaimed pumpkin lover. "Pumpkins also created a nice culture with pumpkin spice donuts, drinks, everything.
