AMES, IA – The community is in mourning and seeking answers after a local man named Andy Rogers reportedly woke up in yoga pants, after eating Pumpkin Spice Oreos.

“It’s time like these that we learn the real value of faith and community” said James Ford, pastor of a local church in Ames. “We believe that one of the reasons the church exists is to be the hands, feet and voice of Jesus. When tragedy turns its ugly head on our community, we will band together to locate the devil. In this case we’ve already found him and he’s wearing black spandex.”

While this may be the first local case of, what doctors are now referring to as, “PSL Overdose”, the medical community has seen a startling and growing trend in cases across the United States.

“Not a lot is known about the origin of the disease, but we do now know that cases are limited to men and are caused by consuming large amounts of Pumpkin Spice flavored products,” stated Dr. John Bell, an expert in the field of PSL OD studies. “The first symptoms usually include waking up in yoga pants, followed by a deep desire to wear UGG boots. In some extreme cases, men diagnosed with PSL OD have been seen having having group brunch at Chic-fi-la immediately followed by a Target Run.”

Mr. Rogers has not been reached for a comment, yet sources close to the family have confirmed he is receiving treatment and pressing into his community for support.

Local authorities are asking men to avoid all Pumpkin Spice flavored food and drink for fear of losing their manhood. This includes pumpkin flavored beer which has been linked to decreased testosterone levels.
