I like the Pumpkin but I can't WAIT for the new chocolate drink coming on Thursday!

Yeah baby! Pumpkin Spice! Not sure how that will go over when it's 105 here in the summer..but we'll manage somehow! I'm in the minority here in Tucson...They actually have to ask me if I want my lattes HOT! Lattes over ice...eeew!

And yep...the new chocolate drink comes out tomorrow...http://www.starbucks.com/retail/chanticolanding.asp


Liquid chocolate!

Green with envy, girl.

I'm not looking forward to the chocolate drink. :( Sounds too sweet for me....I juuuuuust got used to the sweetness of the gingerbread lattes. :D

But in a PMS pinch, it might do the job. ;)

I think Scary Spice is much cooler than Pumpkin Spice. ;)

Actually I do like the pumpkin spice fraps. What I do *not* like are those pesky eggnog/espresso drinks that show up around the holidays. I still think that eggnog + espresso = flavour of liquefied bacon. Don't ask me for a chemical formula.

Alas, Pumpkin still hasn't made it to our shores:(

I did try it once, in San Francisco, but I found it to be <gasp!> a little sweet for me. Then I remembered that it's good with soy - silly me! Nevermind - I stuck to my Gingerbread lattes and totally enjoyed them. That new hot chocolate sounds amazing, btw.

I guess that for me, I would almost rather have the anticipation and reports of which Starbucks is at. There's something to be said for a little longing. If it was there all the time, would we have been able to have such asinine, but hilariously fun, threads about pumpkin spiced lattes?

Much like everything, I relish the anticipation of something great around the corner. A brand new day. I like having something to look forward to.

Plus, I got pumpkined out in December at some point. I'm still doing gingerbread, but that's gonna slow out once the weather warms...

I mixed it up in December.....one day a peppermint mocha, the next a gingerbread, occasionally a pumpkin spice. Now I'm back on my daily (sometimes twice daily when my husband surprises me with one :) ) pumpkin spice soy latte. I'm so used to it now, that I haven't have a plain latte in a long, long time.....gulp.

I like the pumpkin spice but I think gingerbread has a much better flavor. If only pumpkin spice was a bit stronger. Does Starbucks carry any other special flavors for latte's other then the Holiday season?

Some Starbucks are giving free samples of the new chocolate drink tomorrow 4-5. Wouldn't you know? I'm at work *ugh*

My friends tried it and said it was WAY too chocolatey.

No such thing! ;)
