OPINION: It's too soon for the Pumpkin Spice Latte!

I don’t want to sound like a grouch who hates fun. I really don’t.

And if you love your PSL and look forward to PSL day every year , I do not want to take away any of your joy. You get that latte, sprinkle on the spice, and you do you! You’ve earned it!

But I just can’t go along with S’bucks putting out a hot syrupy drink that’s clearly meant to be enjoyed IN THE AUTUMN… when it’s AUGUST 28! And have you checked the temperature? It feels like 40! That’s not pumpkin weather! It’s way too early!

If we let this slide, we’re going to see other holidays pushed up earlier as well. Hope you like Christmas carols before Thanksgiving! Oh look, it’s time to think about Valentines Day on January 1st. And Happy Canada Day! Do you have your Halloween costume picked out yet?

Listen to Daryn’s full PSL Rant in the audio clip above, as well as your hilarious and amazing calls defending the Pumpkin Spice Latte. This might be a time where we might have to agree to disagree. :)
