Soon it’ll be time for John Oliver’s regular segment.
I expected you to link to one of these: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eC0lMmZqcR4
AI garbage.
One of these things is not like the others…
This look is pretty atrocious.
They look like pirate themed Carmen San Diegos
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
Well that’s a letdown. I was imagining pumpkin pie as a beverage 😋
Caribou offers similar drinks with actual pumpkin puree if that interests you. Hot Pumpkin Chai is pretty great on a cold day
Sorta. I mean everyone expects there to be actual pumpkin, but that’d be gross. It’s just all the stuff you add to the pumpkin in a pie to make it delicious
It’s the same spices used in pumpkin pie, so it will have that familiar taste.
I don’t think it was ruined by fans. More like ruined by advertising.
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.
Hey, sometimes you just need a 900 calorie coffee.
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.
