What could be better to fight off the sweltering, late summer humidity than ... a pumpkin spice latte? Well, probably several things, but you'll at least soon have the opportunity to include the infamous Starbucks beverage among your options as August winds down.
Yes, the controversial drink will reportedly be back on the market in less than 3 weeks. Starbucks employees told Business Insider that the Pumpkin Spice Latte will be ready to order on its earliest annual launch date ever, August 27. That's weeks away from September 23, when fall actually starts.
Starbucks has not officially announced the date and told Insider that they had no gourd-related news to share at this time, but employees have reportedly been posting photos of the pumpkin spice flavor syrup that arrived in stores earlier in the month, lending credence to the early rumors.
