Today, protein brand Levels launched its first-ever limited-edition flavor, Maple Cinnamon whey protein, under a campaign called "End the Pumpkin Propaganda." I am going to need a moment, because that might be the funniest product campaign name of the year.

It is the anti-pumpkin-spice protein shake, and it is only available on TikTok Shop, LevelsProtein.com, and select Vitamin Shoppe stores.
