It's not even September yet, but some people are already itching to get their hands on the famous Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte.
The staple of autumn weather will see a different recipe this season, featuring actual pumpkin puree -- something that has strangely not been included in the past.
In between a yoga retreat and a vision quest, I made a big decision to use real pumpkin. My dad is so proud. http://t.co/2gmKiRAkhe

The PSL used to be nothing more than "warm fall spices with delicious flavor of pumpkin pie that reminds you of the cool, crisp days of autumn," and did not contain any actual pumpkin.
"So, with that great taste you know and love, the PSL returns this fall, and this time it will be made with real pumpkin and without caramel coloring."
With all of the flavors colliding in this drink, it's sometimes hard to even taste the coffee -- but perhaps that's the point. It's hard to believe that something like this is being marketed to hardcore coffee drinkers, but rather college students and businessmen and women on their lunch breaks.
