Pumpkin Spice Latte

[d000hg]

Apparently this is a Big Deal in the US, a Starbucks seasonal special people look forward to.

Even leaving coffee snobbery aside... WTF? Why pumpkin?

I like Pumpkin Spice Lattes, unfortunately even when they make it with Soya milk it still contains moo cow milk so can't have it any more

It's a cunning marketing ploy, just like the ginger bread lattes etc by only making it available for a few months a year it doesn't get old and people really look forward to it, feels a bit nostalgic...

It's not actually pumpkin, but what they call "pumpkin spice", I.e. The spices that they put into pumpkin pie. Cinnamon, cloves, ginger, all spice.

I remember Sporty, Posh and Baby, but which one was Pumpkin?

God knows. I detest any form of milky 'coffee' at the best of times, let alone those half filled with sugar.

And PUMPKIN! How revolting.

I'd rather sip on an ass flavoured americano.

The drink or a native from the country?

I read that as 'doves' somehow.

[thanks for the clarity though, that does make it somehow less offensive]

At Texas Motor Speedway I had a 'Hubcap'. A very large sweet doughnut covered in icing sugar, then with shredded beef and coleslaw on top. When I say, 'I had', I mean I bought it then gave it to my sons to eat. Minging!
