Pumpkin Spice Lattes a Year Round Drink?
 

At our Starbucks, something wonderful happened this afternoon. They took down the little snowflake next to the Pumpkin Spice Latte and put up a little cup. It's going to be on the regular menu, as long as it continues to get ordered!

I'm thrilled! :)

For now. As my husband pointed out, it's not going to be such the treat in say.....April. But for now, I'm ecstatic. I enter Starbucks each day filled with trepidation, thinking THIS is the day that my Pumpkin Spice will be no more......and everyday it's been there, right where I need it...coursing through my veins (okay, my digestive system, really....but veins sounded cooler).

Hallelujah!

I did buy several bottles of Gingerbread syrup to get me through any rough patches this winter, by the way. Gotta love those 50% off sales. :D

At my Starbucks my girl told me they had a TON of Gingerbread left, so I'm good through Feb. probably this was me >>>>> :D

Ohhhhhhh! I hope that is true for all Starbucks. I'll have to check out ours. I keep going in and holding my breath everytime I order a pumpkin chai latte. I keep waiting for them to say "No more pumpking syrup." I had a regular chai a couple of weeks ago and it no longer does it for me. Gotta have that pumpkin syrup.

I noticed this at my Starbucks today, too. However, I've been Pumpkined out for about a month now.....but maybe in a month or so I'll be thrilled that it's still there.

I too noticed that yesterday! The pumpkin spice latte was still up and the other 3 holiday ones were gone. I will keep ordering it! I love them! I usually get them or vanilla latte, so I'm set! In theory....

Pumpkin was on the menu but Gingerbread was off. However, they were still able to make me a Gingerbread Latte. (And I do have a burbon-sided bottle of the syrup ay home).

YES!

Claire - you are the source of my demise! It was YOU who turned me on to the glory of Pumpkin Spice Latte and I have not ordered anything different since!

In fact, I was just thinking, should I stop right after I leave the house this morning and drink mine on the way to work... or stop as I get close to work and drink it while I'm at work.

It's just sooooo good. In a way, I wish they would stop carrying it so I can fight my addiction. It's getting expensive... and I have to hide my cups so no one knows just how often I go! :cool:

While I'm not digging the Pumpkin Spice Latte (sorry girls!!), my important announcement is this:

The one and only Starbucks in town (that opened no more than 3 months ago) has decided to stay open 24 hours, 7 days a week!! Now I can get my caffine on 24/7.

Betty, my addiction is pretty bad as well. As a resolution, I'm tracking my coffee spending. I shudder to think what will happen when my gift cards run out!!

Mmmmm. Pumpkin Spice Latte. Like a friends warm embrace. (sssiiiiippppp)
