Sorry, Everyone: Durex Is Unfortunately Not Making Pumpkin Spice Condoms

A photo of a specialty Fall-themed condom made the rounds on the Internet recently, but it was fake

Everyone knows it's officially pumpkin spice season. And if you don't know, then just go on Twitter or Instagram for a hot minute and you'll see someone on your feed talking about a Pumpkin Spice Latte or how it's officially fall and the leaves are beautiful and all that crap.

We get it. Other parts of the country have wonderful, crisp fall weather and here in Los Angeles we have the same old 75 degrees and sunny. It's awful.

Just kidding, it's amazing. But we will begrudgingly admit that though we have perfectly warm weather all year around, the one season we miss is Fall, which makes this debunked story a brutal blow to our closet full of Ugg boots that we don't need but wear anyway.

An image went viral over the weekend revealing that the condom company that isn't Trojan, Durex, is coming out with a pumpkin spice condom. Pumpkin spice flavored, presumably, but it could also be pumpkin spice scented.

Turns out we'll never know, because it's all fake. It's just a photoshopped image and Durex has come forward and said that they have no such condoms in their product line.

"Durex has heard that people are saying we launched a ‘Pumpkin Spice' condom," the company said in a statement to Buzzfeed. "We can't claim this one, but we do love it when people spice it up in the bedroom."

Did you see what they did there? With the word "spice?" Word play is fun.

But pumpkin spice condoms would be more fun. Maybe the fervent reaction to the fake image will convince Durex to actually make a pumpkin spice condom?

We can only hope.
