Can’t Wait for Pumpkin Spice Latte?

Fall is right around the corner, which means the return of Pumpkin Spice Latte!

We know this beloved beverage is one that people wait for all year, so we thought it’d be fun to have a little competition to see which city has the most love for PSL.

Starting on August 22, we’re launching a game on our Facebook page which will give you the chance to bring PSL to your city one week before the rest of the country gets it.

You’ll earn points for your city by playing different games on the Facebook page. The city with the most points at the end of August 25 will get the honor of enjoying PSLs at Starbucks stores on August 30 – a whole week before our fall promotion launches on September 6.

There will be new games to play every day. Check our Facebook page daily to play and see how your city ranks.

Make a sugar-free one and I'd be happy to help you promote it.

+1 for Sugar free syrup. This idea has been requested for YEARS...please can we act on this?! I would certainly get one every single morning if this was introduced.

anchored619, as long as a flavor exists in sauce/syrup form, then it can be made into a Frappuccino. So, to answer your question, yes.

Hmmm, seems like this contest was unfairly biased towards larger cities that just naturally have more people to participate.  I'm not all bent out of shape over it, since we only have to wait an extra week, but some people might get upset about that . . .

the geography and demographics of the US having large cities (all over the place) cannot be avoided.

I don't understand what happened this year!  I am a huge pumpkin spice latte fan and always expect to get one on September 1.  I went into my Starbucks this morning and was told that they weren't going to have them until September 6 now.  The barista working had to ask her manager to confirm this, which says to me that they have the stuff they just don't want to give it out!  I walked out without buying anything.  I realize to Starbucks my 4 dollars is not that big of a deal but they did miss out on making a sale today.  I also thought Starbucks was all about customer satisfaction and well, I'm not satisfied......

Is there anyway Starbucks could carry this AMAZING LOVELY DELICIOUS drink everyday instead of just in the fall?? I think it's a great business decision and would make your customers oh so happy. What do you think?

Starbucks generally releases new drinks on Tuesdays. Since the 1st was a Thursday, the drink is being released on the Tuesday 6th.

You guys need to make a low fat/low calorie version!  I look forward to them but I don't like to spend the calories.

You need to just make it a year-round drink, I love it and if it's as popular as you claim(other than my purchases) it just makes good business sense!!!!!!
