Kotaku' Shop Contest_ Pumpkin Spice Armageddon_ Winners!

Last week’s ‘Shop Contestwas a call-to-arms against the seasonal pumpkin spice craze. Our readers answered that call with both brutality and heavenly softness. The idea, stolen from every science fiction show ever, was that if we could not defeat the pumpkin spice-craving masses through normal means we would assault them with ridiculous products until they overload and explode. You want a combination of cinnamon, cloves, ginger and nutmeg? We’ll give you what you want, what you really, really want.(new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c&cid=872d12ce-453b-4870-845f-955919887e1b'; cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c" }).render("79703296e5134c75a2db6e1b64762017"); }); And while some entries were more popular with the masses—the sick, demented masses—there was one entry that kept making me laugh every time I saw yono arcade it. Congratulations on the win, Gene Jacket. You imagined a product that would forever leave people wondering if that really was just cinnamon on their fingertips. Without further ahhh…hee.
