YES, IT’S ALREADY PUMPKIN SPICE SEASON _ 🎃 We like to think Christmas ads and deals begin too early, but let me point out that Pumpkin Spice Lattes also launch way sooner than they used to. Already, 7-Eleven is pushing a PSL. On its website, 7-Eleven says: “Too soon? Too late. We’re taking the lead in manifesting cooler days. Sorry ‘bout it.” Dunkin’ Donuts will begin selling PSLs in a few days, and Starbucks is kicking off PSL season in about two weeks.
