Am I the Only Person....

that thinks Starbucks pumpkin spice lattes are disgusting?  I am a pumpkin-a-holic, have been for all of my life, but that disgustingly sweet, faux-pumpkin taste is so foul.  If I see one more FB post about how excited people are about it, I may scream.

I tried it a while back, think a couple of years ago, and I was not crazy about it. I think it even had little floaty things in, probably the pumpkin spice but not something I would order again.

The one that gets me is the peppermint chocolate/mocha thing. Yuck - I mean, I like mint and I like chocolate/mocha but that drink made me feel like someone spiked my mocha with scope.

ITA, those syrups they use are WAY too sweet and overpowering.  I usually order black coffee, but if they have a special drink that sounds particularly good, I'll order it with half the syrup and no whipped cream or whatever on the top.  It makes the drink sooo much better to me.  Just a hint of flavor, and it still tastes like coffee (you know, like it's supposed to?)!

I don't like coffee so the pumpkin lattes are lost on me too.  What I do love is Winter Dream Tea Lattes from Coffee Bean.  I l.o.v.e. them, but many, many people have told me it tastes like potpourri...so I guess it takes all kinds.

I felt like someone spiked mine with about a gallon of sugar.  And I LOVE sweet things, but that was disgusting.  Yeah, I'm not all about these fancy flavors.

ETA: although, somehow, I still get suckered into buying one every year, just to see if they got it right this year!  lol

I'm not a coffee drinker, but I am excited about the return of Caramel Apple Cider...yum!!!

It's actually the only coffee I like.   

I usually don't drink coffee, but I do treat myself to a Pumpkin Spice Latte once a year.  This year I will have to go decaf though.

Not crazy about the latte, but I have to say that their pumpkin spice bread loaf is absolutely delicious!
