Starbucks’ PSLs Are Officially Back, and People Are Freaking Out

This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at FSU chapter.

It looks like fall is arriving super early this year because starting Tuesday, Aug. 28, you can officially order a Pumpkin Spice Latte at your local Starbucks. This year is especially important since everyone’s favorite fall drink is turning 15 (ugh, they grow up so fast). Not to mention, this is the earliest PSLs have ever been released since their launch in 2003.

Now, I know what you’re thinking. It’s 100-degrees out, why would anyone, even a PSL fanatic, want a hot beverage in this kind of heat? Well, luckily for you, the drink can be ordered iced or blended. So, you won’t have to sacrifice your love for PSLs in this weather.

Coming from experience, let me just say an iced PSL is fuego, especially when its topped with cold whipped cream and pumpkin pie spices. And now that Starbucks has released Pumpkin Spiced Cookie Straws in grocery stores, you can ditch the plastic straw and sip on your PSL with one of these bad boys instead. 

In less than a week, you’ll be able to taste the delicious flavors of fall while enjoying the last of your summer days. Personally, I’m ready for the weather to cool down and for comfy sweaters. Until then, you can catch me at the beach sipping on an iced PSL.
