WHY PUMPKIN SPICE LATTE IS BETTER THAN A DATE

Attention everyone who owns at least one oversized sweater.

Starbucks has officially announced that the Pumpkin Spice Latte is making its grand return on August 25.

Returning favourites this year include the Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew, Pumpkin Spice Frappuccino, Iced Pumpkin Cream Chai and the Pecan Crunch Latte.

But Starbucks isn't stopping there. They're also rolling out some new creations, including the Iced Pumpkin Cream Shaken Espresso, Pumpkin Spice Chai, Iced Pumpkin Cream Matcha and something called a "Chaider," which sounds like either a delicious drink or a medieval knight.  

For anyone who thinks pumpkin belongs in food, there are new menu items too, including a Chicken Bacon Protein Pocket, a Hedgehog Cake Pop and the return of the Pumpkin Cream Cheese Muffin.

WHY YOU SHOULD TRY!

It costs less than dinner and nobody ends up crying in the parking lot.

It arrives hot, sweet and exactly how you ordered it.

The only thing complicated about it is how many pumps of syrup you want.

You can enjoy it in sweatpants and nobody's judging you.

It smells amazing, keeps you warm and disappears before it starts leaving socks on your floor.

At this point, the Pumpkin Spice Latte has shown up for more women than most men. 🎃💔☕
