A man in his teens was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence after he struck and killed a pedestrian early Monday in Palo Alto, police said.
  
It's October, pass the pumpkin. From  at  to pumpkin-spice Oreos  to apparently , we Americans are out of our gourds over the seasonal treat.

The crash happened when the driver careened off the roadway, hit a power pole and rolled his 2007 Nissan Maxima on East Bayshore Road near  at about 6:15 a.m., police said.
But at least one person's not having it: in a rant on his show "Last Week Tonight," John Oliver railed against all things pumpkin spice 鈥?and his rant quickly went viral.

"Yes, it's that special time of year, where we voluntarily imbibe pumpkin-spice lattes, the coffee that tastes like a candle," Oliver announced. "And I don't mean, 'tastes like a candle smells,' pumpkin-spice lattes taste like a candle tastes. Don't ask me how I know that."

But pumpkin-spice mania has an expiration date, Oliver says. "Nobody wants anything pumpkin-flavored from December through August." His theory: It's less the taste of the pumpkin snacks, and more good feelings about the season with which they're associated. "(Fall) is the best season, because you get to stop thinking about how weird your legs look in shorts."

Police found the victim, a man, dead in the street. It is not clear where he was at the time of the crash, police said.
Oliver's rant mainly slurped up criticism for pumpkin-spice lattes, but just walk down the grocery-store aisle and you could quickly fill a trick-or-treat bag with . Trident has Pumpkin Spice gum. Pepperidge Farm has pumpkin-spice Milano cookies. Kraft has pumpkin-spice marshmallows, and Planters went nuts for pumpkin-spice almonds. ( is still only a hoax, but we can envision it happening.)
+
 
So tell us: Are you pumped for more pumpkin, or should the whole craze just rot away at the bottom of the patch?
+
The driver, who was not hurt, stayed at the scene and was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs, police said. Authorities identified him only as a man in his teens and said he had been the only person in the car.
