That's right, I'm going to be snooty and say "autumn" instead of "fall." Because "autumn" just sounds that much nicer - like the ring of an ill-advised, so-called original baby name [Another thought: Isn't it weird how we call them "baby names" when they're names babies will also eventually grow up to continuing having? I guess "people names" isn't as pleasing to roll off the tongue.]
So. The Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte is back. Wait - let me rephrase. The Pumpkin Spice Latte is back!!! (This news truly forgoes all AP style rules.)
I actually didn't realize it was coming back so soon - last year, I remember stumbling across it only as early as November, which with the cold and Thanksgiving and the drenched Ugg boots and harvest-y stuff makes more sense. Good thing for Starbucks it was nippy in the Northeast this week (which was, in fact, glorious). I bet they planned it that way.
Regardless of the timing, I am super jazzed about its return. So delicious. So holiday. I think Labor Day is even further improved by this pumpkin-y addition to the usual sandy hot dogs and powdered lemonade.
Score. Will probably return tomorrow. Shh - I get skim milk. And no whip. Erm, maybe no whip.

I've never had one. Maybe I'll give it a try this year.
PS - The word I had to type for that comment was an actual word. Just needed to share that.
i tried the frap version of this today, not too thrilled. i'll try the latte version when it gets colder here, hopefully it'll be better!
Oh that sounds delicious! I'll have to find out if they sell it here in Germany. I also remember drinking hot apple cidre in a Starbucks in NY, but sadly it didn't make it to Germany :(
