FRESH FROM THE FUNHOUSE

That's right: the hottest witch alive is back for everyone's favorite artificial carcinogen, pumpkin spice. Every fall I eat (and drink, and smell, and regret) the season's most pumpkin-spiced products so you don't have to. This year's lineup had a queen, a few survivors, and one cookie that tasted like fish. Here's every product from the video, ranked.

How the scoring works

It's a very scientific method. Every product gets a score from 1 to 10 hottest witches alive. But those witches could also be dead. Or they could come back alive. But then they could be dead again. Glad we cleared that up.

(Yes, some scores went past 10. Science is flexible.)
