Your question interested me enough to google around. The answer seems to be that the Starbucks product is not sugar-free if they're using the Monin Pumpkin Spice Syrup.

Do we have any baristas who can tell us if this is the case?

Ooh! Yay, Morrigoon! Thank you!!

And of course, the one day I don't go to Starbucks is the one day that they have it!

My boyfriend surprised me with Pinkberry at my office! Yu-u-ummy!!

So very soothing, too, in this delightful 800 squillion degree I-think-I-just-saw-a-few pitchforks-and-red-horns-are-you-sure-this-is-Northridge-and-not-the-frigging-final-climactic-scene-in-Mr. Toad's Wild Ride weather that we've been enjoying in the San Fernando Valley.

Tried the York mini mints that come in the tin can yet? Three mints for 10 calories, 'k? And you don't want thirty more mints, either, even though they're really good.

Ooh! Thank you! I have tried them & I thought they were delicious! And just like you said, they are satisfying without indulging in the entire tin (which I honestly thought I would do with my sweet tooth). It was the cute little retro tin that actually caught my eye, and I was pleased when I tried the mints inside!

I also indulged in a big ol' pumpkin frappy today. I have to admit, I love the whipped cream with the dusting of pumpkin spice sprinklies on top, but am I the only one who gets that filmy, icky coating of whipped cream whatever on the roof of their mouth? ICK. It's a waxiness I could do without!
