Can’t Wait for Pumpkin Spice Latte?

Thursday, August 18, 2011

Posted by Kelly B. - espresso product manager

 

Fall is right around the corner, which means the return of Pumpkin Spice Latte!

We know this beloved beverage is one that people wait for all year, so we thought it’d be fun to have a little competition to see which city has the most love for PSL.

Starting on August 22, we’re launching a game on our Facebook page which will give you the chance to bring PSL to your city one week before the rest of the country gets it.

You’ll earn points for your city by playing different games on the Facebook page. The city with the most points at the end of August 25 will get the honor of enjoying PSLs at Starbucks stores on August 30 – a whole week before our fall promotion launches on September 6.

There will be new games to play every day. Check our Facebook page daily to play and see how your city ranks.

    I understand the marketing rationale for making PSL only a special Fall treat, however I think Starbucks should consider putting PSL concentrate in a box, just like you do the Chai Latte and the Organic Chai Latte. Then we could enjoy it... whenever! Think about it, please.

      Exactly! The peppermint used to be only for winter, and now they carry that year-round! Come on Starbucks! Get with the program! We love Fall ALL OF THE TIME!!

    I love it iced! But if I'm in the mood for hot, that's good too! But always: Double, Grande, non-fat, extra Pumpkin Spice Pump, splash of half 'n half, no whip, caramel drizzle, nutmeg sprinkle. YUUUMMMMM! :)

    I just went to my Starbucks here in Chicago and they must not know about the contest (that Chicago won) and was told I couldn't get a PSL until 9/6. Boo!!

    I hope this year Starbucks offers some Sugar Free Holiday Beverage options. Doesn't seem that difficult to add Sugar Free Pumpkin, SF Gingerbread (you had this a few years back) & SF Peppermint syrups temporarily to the menu. Pretty pretty please with Splenda on top.
