We Tried to Get the Scoop on the PSL’s Return + Here’s What Happened
It’s unofficially the last week of summer (sob!), but to cheer ourselves up, we’re thinking about all the delightful things autumn has to offer. There are kids heading back to school, Thanksgiving and, oh yeah, the return of the PUMPKIN SPICE LATTE. You know PSL season is drawing near when the drink’s official Twitter account (yes, they have a Twitter account) comes back online. As we’re all itching for our first piping hot latte, we figured we’d chat up the beverage on social media to get the scoop on when the PSL will be heading back to stores. And yes, this really happened.
Hey, @therealPSL, welcome back to Twitter! We’ve missed you! Pssst…can you give us the dirt on when the Pumpkin Spice Latte is returning?🎃☕️

First, we gave them a warm (caffeinated) welcome, because after a year of silence, we’ve missed ’em.
@BritandCo I'm still finalizing those details with my publicist/cat, but in the meantime, I'm now on Messenger! https://t.co/RiEgGlu1kC

Trivia time: Did you know the PSL had a cat?
@TheRealPSL Word on the street is PSL season is coming v. soon. Can your cat confirm or deny? Also, tell us more about Messenger!

We decided to go all-in and get the dirt.
@BritandCo My lid is sealed on the exact date, but my cat Ginger is super eager for me to return.

No dice, guys. But in other news, the PSL’s cat’s name is Ginger. (Not Cinnamon?)
@BritandCo Chatting with me on Messenger is how we can catch up 1-on-1, plus it's the best way to prove your PSL knowledge with my fan quiz!

But in case you’re feeling chatty, you can hit up the PSL chatbot on Facebook Messenger!
@TheRealPSL Darn! Well, we’ll be first in line when PSL time comes. In the meantime, we’ll daydream of a Starbucks cup with our name on it.

Oh well. At least we tried.
@BritandCo Looking forward to seeing you soon. And, to adding some new looks to my fall collection. 🍂☕️🍂 pic.twitter.com/xYapiwlfns

But we DO know it’s happening soon. And that’s directly from the horse’s mouth.
