Come to think of it, I've never had a pumpkin spice latte. Does it live up to the hype?
I mean, it's basically just cinnamon, cardamom, and clove. Yeah, it's great. One of those "ruined by its fans" things
I don't think it was ruined by fans. More like ruined by advertising.
Well that's a letdown. I was imagining pumpkin pie as a beverage 😋
They're pretty good as an occasional treat. I like that it's just a Halloween thing. I wouldn't have one outside of the spooky season.
Not great, not terrible. If you ever had the impression that Starbucks is just a coffee-themed sweet shoppe, this puts things right over the top. It turns out that if you put enough cinnamon and dairy into a burnt-tasting beverage, it's kind of alright.
Starbucks strives for consistency so they over-roast their beans to ensure the same flavour across the board. To compensate for this they saturate all of their beverages in ungodly amounts of sugar.
Watch closely as a partner (their word for worker) makes your caramel macchiato and try to guess how much sugar is added to it.
This look is pretty atrocious.
They look like pirate themed Carmen San Diegos
Soon it’ll be time for John Oliver’s regular segment.
