Trader Joe's Fans Have Mixed Feelings About Its New Cheesy Pumpkin Yogurt Dip

Has Trader Joe's taken pumpkin spice season too far? Some people argue that it might have with its new Pumpkin 4 Cheese Greek Style Yogurt Dip. The Instagram account, @traderjoeslist, describes the $3.69 item as savory and balanced. Some fans still find this statement hard to believe, as evidenced in the comments of its post of the product. One person wrote, "I thought I was actually going to like this. I'm all about pumpkin and cheese, so I thought this was going to be a match made in heaven. It was ABSOLUTELY revolting."

Another user admitted to being skeptical about the dip, but then after some reflection, thought it could be worth a try. She wrote, "Sounded strange at first, but maybe it could have a butternut squash mac and cheese vibe if utilized in the right way?" The Trader Joe's container describes the dip as "creamy" and best served heated in the microwave for 20 seconds before stirred.

This dip is part of the "Pumpkin Palooza" theme that Trader Joe's has every fall. The Instagram hashtag has Trader Joe's products like the Pumpkin Spice Hummus and Gluten Free Pumpkin Bread sprinkled in that fans are super excited about. As stoked as we are for those products, the new cheesy pumpkin yogurt dip has not been receiving as much love. 

We know Trader Joe's does not take the holidays lightly, as evidenced by its Pumpkin Butter and Fall Leaf Tortilla Chips, which were great hits last year. We also know that it can churn out a mean cheese product (hello, Garlic Bread Cheese). The Pumpkin 4 Cheese Greek Style Yogurt Dip utilizes shredded Monterey Jack, sharp cheddar, cream cheese, and parmesan, so there is something for every cheese lover out there. So give this dip a try, and maybe it'll become a surprising new staple in your fall pantry.
