It’s the season. Time to take sides! Pro-pumpkin spice or anti-PSL. Every fall I see the line being drawn with as much ire and venom as the Nickelback fandom vs. the folks who lie about liking Nickelback. (J/K…kinda)
As someone who is kind of on the fence about pumpkin spice (I don’t mind it, but it’s not usually my first choice), I watch folks who enjoy mocking folks who like it, and the folks who embrace it like the return of their firstborn from the wilderness.
As with anything that involves taste, I am reluctant to judge what other people like. People like what they like and my not liking it should have no bearing on their enjoyment of whatever it is. And, not coincidentally, the PSL is the biggest moneymaker for Starbucks annually. So someone is drinking all that java. We don’t feel so judgy about other beverages, try to shame green tea drinkers, or call folks who like black coffee ‘basic’ (even though that is the most basic of coffees).
But, holy beans, pumpkin spice is a lightning rod that seems to make people want to draw a line in the sand. So tell me what is your spite level about pumpkin spice?
