Taste test: new pumpkin, candy corn and other fall-flavored foods

Last fall, a time that will likely be remembered by historians as the height of the Basic Bitch Era, everything with an expiration date got a pumpkin flavored doppleganger. We took the bullet for you and tried all the overly sweet autumnal treats so you don't have to. You’re welcome. This year, the fall flavors are back with candy corn emerging as a new Halloween trend we already hate, and a more nuanced approach to pumpkin-izing products. We’ve tried the orange, the bland and the sugary so you can avoid the busts and try the musts.
