It all started with a simple espresso beverage from Starbucks: the Pumpkin Spice Latte. The drink signified autumn, changing leaves, homemade holiday treats and sweater weather. It was a one-off, it felt warm and nostalgic — it was special (even if it did come a month early this year).
Now, not so much. Enter the pumpkin spice vodka .. and pumpkin spice tortilla chips … and pumpkin spice bagels. How about some pumpkin spice Oreos? Try dunking those in some pumpkin spice milk. Craving something savory? Dip a pumpkin spice chip into some pumpkin spice hummus. Maybe one day, there’ll even be a pumpkin spice iPhone.
Yes, all these things really do exist (minus the iPhone, of course), and now you can taste them all for yourself.
We started with the first pumpkin spice latte, and now we have several java-packed and java-less offerings to choose from:
1. Godiva Pumpkin Spice Truffelata
2. Dunkin Donuts Pumpkin Créme Brulee Latte
3. Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte
