People. It is August. August. It was 90 degrees here yesterday. Why are there pumpkin spice coffee beverages everywhere? I want a steaming cup of pumpkin spice whatever about as much as I want a wool sweater.
The Starbucks homepage instructs me to welcome the return of a fall favorite. The Pumpkin Spice Latte is back in season, it chirps. Attention, Starbucks marketing folks: August is summer in the northern hemisphere. Pumpkins are not in season. If you wish to make it pumpkin season by fiat, I can't stop you. But I'll be the one knocking back an iced coffee, wondering who thought it was a good idea to put pumpkin in coffee anyway.
