Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte Returns on September 8, 2015

Starbucks recently announced this year's launch date for the annual return of their popular Pumpkin Spice Latte: it's Tuesday, September 8, 2015.

The seasonal drink has been reformulated this year to include actual pumpkin in the ingredients for the first time.

Interestingly, the when drink developers at Starbucks were trying to come up with a new fall beverage (which eventually led to the Pumpkin Spice Latte) back in 2003, pumpkin as a flavor wasn't very high up in the results of a customer survey. According to Peter Dukes, the product manager largely credited with the drink's creation, it was "Near the bottom middle."
