«I’ll have an iced pumpkin cream chai latte with oat milk, half sweet, hold the foam, and shake instead of stirring.» When pumpkin spice latte lovers say these joyous words, it means more than just leaves are falling– white women everywhere are falling (back) in love with pumpkin everything. Pumpkin cookies, pumpkin cakes, pumpkin coffees that suit your tastes! So if you’re one of those basic babes who’s 100% okay with spending $10 on a factory-made coffee, this is your time to shine. Although it’s still not cold enough to order a hot coffee, you’ve seen at least one leaf on the ground so that means that pumpkin spice is BACK. That’s why they make iced versions of pumpkin drinks, right? 

Starby’s released their pumpkin menu early this year (if we’re lucky, maybe next year the release will be in July), so we’re already frothing and ready to down our weight in pumpkins as we go leave behind ‘hot girl summer’ and pick up our orange scarves just in time for pumpkin patch season. Scroll onward, Autumn Goddess, for the spiciest pumpkin memes on the Interwebs.
