OP. Thanks ^ I didn't think of that! The custom arch supports. The shoe-making, that's just being a smart ass!

Does anyone agree with me, put try your best to put my smugness aside. I know it's hard.

I actually don't care for either of those and I generally think Starbucks is a waste of money when there are other coffee shops with better coffee and cheaper prices. But your smugness and attitude are a total turn off and you just sound like a raging "I'm better than you" bitch. And I'm assuming most people who share my views are equally as turned off by you. I'd rather hang out with someone who is a pumpkin spice - mint chocolate lover than you!!

Wow OP. You've really made me see the light here. Instead of dropping 4 bucks on a delicious treat that makes me happy and that, most importantly, somebody else makes for me, I'm going to go home and spend money on ingredients I won't use for anything else and mess up my kitchen for a latte that won't taste nearly as good.

I just googled pumpkin spice latte recipes and they are all microwaved milk with some combination of pumpkin pie filling, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla, sugar, and coffee or espresso. Sorry, but none of that would taste the same.

Please google how to make that stuff at home it something. It hurts me too see y'all throwing your money away like that! I know it's your money and you can do with it what you please, but maybe I'll get one person to listen to me.

It's full of sugar, no pumpkin is even in there! It's too sweet. Waste of money. Band wagon-y. Get off the pumpkin bad wagon. Go home and make it yourself!! Put the rest into a savings account.

I'm 33 btw and used to be a pumpkin spice freak and then switched to plain coffee. FWIW.

I am not on the pumpkin bandwagon but the whole point of going to Starbucks is that I don't want to make latte myself. I am ready to pay for it. I have very healthy savings, thank you.

I hate pumpkin spice, but I love me some salted caramel at Starbucks. I am not making it at home.

Hey, OP - did you know they don't stand over a hot cauldron of molten sugar to make my salted caramel? Also, they are not out harvesting gentle flakes of salt. I still like the drink, even if it isn't "real."

I cant imagine what a low life OP would think I am...I fall for the Shamrock Shake marketing campaign, which is a much trashier demographic! YUMMMM mock mint!!!

Yeah, I can go without the pumpkin but anything mint and I'm a sucker. I almost never go to Starbucks but a frappucino with a shot of mint? Yum.

OP, do you make your own sushi and pizza?

Mmm... I am currently sipping a grande, 2%, WITH whip ( ), pumpkin spice latte. Paid more for it than I spent on my lunch.

And it's SOOOOO good!

I am curious... who actually thought that there was pumpkin in the PSL?

I don't even like pumpkin spice lattes but you guys are cracking me up
