I think they should change the spelling to pumpkin-spice latte, so people know it contains pumpkin spice, not pumpkin.

I would guess they think they're made of some godawful blend of processed starch and sawdust.

It's a marketing stunt. The 42% figure is pulled from an announcement of them rebranding Lay's and it cites no study.

America's dumb, but I don't think we've quite hit half the country not knowing a potato chip is made out of potato dumb.

I don't know how this rumor got started but it's not true. Pumpkin spice flavored stuff has pumpkin and spice in it, including lattes.

To be fair, ingredient lists are, like... legally required or something, even if it's blatantly obvious. (unless they're not and it turns out I'm wrong about this)

They had to add a bit of puree after the stupid outrage since it is pumpkin spice flavored and not pumpkin pie flavored.

A lot of people think Pringles are potato chips and are made of potatoes which are not. It's mostly flour and other ingredients and chemicals with barely any real potatoes in it. They also think it's the healthier alternative to regular potatoe chips which on the contrary is worse actually.

Yeah, I don't really believe it. Whenever you read a headline, you need to ask yourself what you're being sold, whether it's a product or an idea. Even from "real" news websites, if they're just citing a press release then it may as well be an advertisement.

That's basically how I try to get my toddler to eat anything potato that's not french fry. I just say it's the same as a french fry it just looks different. There's no trust there though and the food usually goes uneaten.
