Now that the air is (at last!) as fresh as a delicious Honeycrisp, it’s time to wade into the most autumnal of debates: Do we like pumpkin spice? Is deriding the flavor as “basic” the equivalent of looking “into the abyss of continually flattening capitalist dystopia and, instead of articulating and interrogating the fear, transform it into casual misogyny,” as Buzzfeed has posited?

Well, D.C.’s most beloved child, Bei Bei, has quite literally rolled into the discourse. The National Zoo says that it sprinkled a log with pumpkin spice (a medley typically made of cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, allspice, and cloves) for the three-year-old panda. Here’s what happened:

So, there you have it. I think we can conclusively end the pumpkin spice conversation on this note.

The zoo has been posting photos of other animals getting into the fall spirit, too.
