I don't drink them because it is the "IN" thing to do. I drink them because I like them. I'm not even sure how to be "ironic" like the youth of today like to say (see how old I am? lol) I just like to be happy, and PSL make me happy.
I look forward to the fall flavor dropping every year, and the fact that it comes out in September is just a bonus. I get to enjoy the delicious-ness of the dessert style drink while it is practically still summertime! (two of my favorite things)
But you won't find me wrapped in a scarf, wearing a sweater and calf high boots while I'm enjoying my PSL. I don't do sweaters, ever (I'm typically hot), and I prefer flip flops or tennis shoes over anything else. I like leggings, but not because they are stylish. I wear them for comfort, lol.
But I like my Pumpkin Spice Lattes because they taste like pumpkin pie in a cup. I enjoy pumpkin muffins too. And let's be honest, when you drink the same flavor coffee over and over for eight months, you are more than ready for a delicious new flavor! I am very picky about my flavored coffee and only drink Iced Mochas the rest of the year, and just last month I was so tired of them. So the PSL is a welcome change! And PSL time also means that soon we will see the other fall flavors.
I keep writing to Starbucks suggesting that they need a "Christmas Cookie" flavor, but I guess they don't feel the same way. I think I'll see if Gloria Jean happens to have one this year - because doesn't that sound like an awesome coffee flavor???
So, next time you see me posting about my PSL, remember this... unlike the typical meme you see online, I am sitting over here in shorts and flip flops drinking my Iced PSL, there's not a plaid scarf or calf high boots in sight.
