PSA on PSLs!

Starbucks just dropped their signature Pumpkin Spiced Latte flavor today, and I'm ready to unleash the ultimate debate: HOT or ICED? Go! (Also, is it too early to dabble in fall festivities, or is that a myth that needs busting?!)

Join the conversation...

First off, I'm not a *huge* fan of PSL since it's fairly sweet, but I would have to opt for hot. I'm the type of person who can drink iced coffee year-round but something about PSLs need to be hot... definitely gives me cozy, fall vibes!

I get what you mean by the sweetness! I was recently put on to hot PSLs, and have since converted (I was drinking them iced for foreverrr)

Ms. Jenna Blair. it is never an early time to dabble with fall because its natural when the month pf September hits its like "Lets begin to take out the harvest decors and pumpkins everywhere everyone"and people cant wait to start rocking the fall outfits, and be part of all the warm beautiful festivities. And as far as trying out the Starbucks new flavor drink I'm going to give it a shot today

Hahaha, I'm right with you on this! I hope you enjoy your first PSL of the season!

Autumn is my favorite season and I love when the fall festivities start. There's just something about the crispness in the air that makes me feel that perfect blend of alert-yet-cozy. In regards to PSL, I like the flavor but Starbucks is not my favorite provider. I find the lattes taste weak (not necessarily the caffeine, just the flavor/taste itself) and it's not worth the calories to me. This is my opinion on most of the Starbucks stuff, though they are not the only ones- there are many other places where you can get a coffee beverage with enough calories in it to replace a meal! I'd rather choose a lower calorie menu item that's flavored with pumpkin spice, or do it on my own. :)

Ooo, great answer! I'll definitely admit that I find the PS flavor of DD coffee stronger than that of Starbucks (BUT, it's way too sweet for me!)

I know what you mean! I just ordered a pumpkin coffee from DD and asked them to reduce the number of pumps. That definitely helps! :)

Oh it's not too early! Enjoy all things fall as long as you can! Embrace it!

Right! And I feel like fall is rushed, if anything, because Christmas decorations start selling after Halloween (meaning we'd only get a proper month of 'fall celebration' after the equinox - no way!)

I agree! It's never too early to indulge in things that make you happy. Plus I'm overall such a sucker for all things fall (or winter).

Oh my gosh, it’s still hot out here and I’ve yet to make it to the beach! Noooo! I love the cool fall weather, but I’ll celebrate when the seasons actually change here. I can’t imagine living where there aren’t seasons. But once fall begins, it’s hot drinks for sure. So hot PSL, nonfat milk, please.

Hahaha, I love this answer. I only made it to the beach once this summer so I feel like I'm cheating, BUT I'm already celebrating fall better than I did summer lol

Any celebration is a good thing. I still have hopes of making it to the beach before the frost is on the pumpkin...

I am probably the odd woman out...I just don't care when Starbucks starts to sell Pumpkin Spiced Latte...(LOL) To be honest, not one of my favorite flavors. Now if it's a pumpkin spiced muffin or donut....another story all together. I truly will never understand the rushing of the next season or holiday. Enjoy it while you can.
