Lest you forget this season's cult coffee beverage, it's finally back: 'tis the season for Pumpkin Spice Lattes.
But thanks to BuzzFeed Video, we've been blessed with something I'm sure none of us expected of the ubiquitous fall season beverage — a review of the PSL from coffee drinkers who've never before tasted this pumpkin treat. Why? Why not, I suppose.
And what would the PSL be if not for its run-of-the-mill basic girl jokes, right? "I want to watch Gilmore Girls," said one reviewer, "because this is making me so basic."
"I'm in seventh grade, and this is Bath & Body Works, and I just drank it," remarked another woman. Others claimed that the beverage didn't taste like pumpkin (or, perhaps more appropriately, pumpkin pie — unless any of these critics regularly eats straight pumpkin).
On that note, these critics would be wrong. According to the Starbucks website, the beverage returned this fall with real pumpkin in its syrup and no caramel coloring added.
"After hearing from customers and partners about ingredients, we took another look at this beverage and why we created it so many years ago,” said Peter Dukes, director of Espresso and Brewed Coffee for Starbucks. He added, "it’s the Pumpkin Spice Latte our customers have loved all along.”
