Some Starbucks customers are already sipping on the new Pumpkin Spice Latte recipe. The coffee chain announced last week that fans -- eh, fanatics? -- of the beverage could get it before its official launch date by entering a not-so-secret password on PSLFanPass.com.
Over Labor Day weekend, baristas are making the latte for anyone who unlocks the fan pass.
They're getting a first taste of the drink's new recipe: Starbucks (SBUX) said it answered customer demands by taking out artificial flavors and colors and adding real pumpkin.
The Pumpkin Spice Latte will officially rejoin the menu on September 8. Starbucks said it's the company's most popular seasonal menu item ever. A "tall" size has 300 calories.
Blegh. Pumpkin flavored stuff has got to go. I don't mind the smell, but the taste is disgusting.
It's not pumpkin flavored though! It's pumpkin spice - cinnamon, nutmeg, etc. mmmmmmm....

Last year a Starbucks in a Safeway said if I "liked" their Facebook page they would "unlock" the drink. I thought it was the most ridiculous thing I'd ever heard, and said "no thank you" and left.
Either it's on the menu or not, I'm not going to jump through hurdles for a drink. Sheesh.

I felt my age this year when I realized I don't like pumpkin spice anymore. I will eat the hell out of some pumpkin pie or pumpkin bread. I love adding pumpkin puree to things like chili. And my favorite winery makes an awesome pumpkin wine.
I'm just over pumpkin spice everything. It tastes so artificial and chemical heavy now. It overwhelms me.
