Sugar,

Ice,

and Pumpkin Spice.

These were the ingredients chosen to create the perfect lattes. But Professor Barista accidentally added an extra ingredient to the concoction: Caffeine.

Thus the Pumpkin Spice lattes were born!

Well … um … that was the intro to the Power Puff Girls, but that show was awesome.

Know what else is awesome? Pumpkin Spice Lattes from Starbucks!!!

Pumpkin Spice, if you don’t know, is a very popular Autumn latte flavor. It comes in hot or iced (I get iced) ranging from Tall (small), Grande (medium) or Venti (large) at your local neighborhood Starbucks.

You could get them at Dunkin Donuts …but it’s not the same. (Those pumpkin spice muffins and munchkins from Dunkin’ Donuts are to die for!)

September 1 marked the beginning of the pumpkin spice craze and it is in full swing. I know right after school I bought a Venti Pumpkin Spice Latte with extra whipped cream.

Other pumpkin spice items include pumpkin spice cakes, ice cream, coffee creamer, bread — even pumpkin spice cream cheese to accompany your pumpkin spice bagels!

So grab your wallets and spice up your life.
