Where does PSL come from?
The pumpkin spice latte or PSL was created in 2003 by Starbucks as a seasonal special. At the time, the drink did not contain any actual pumpkin, although the coffee giant has since added pumpkin puree to the mix. Fans now eagerly await “PSL season,” a term they use to refer to the limited time during which the drink is on the coffee maker’s menu.
The popularity of PSL at Starbucks has prompted dozens of other members of the food industry to add pumpkin spice versions of their products, from pumpkin spice Oreos to pumpkin spice-flavored coffees available seasonally at Starbucks’ competitor Dunkin’ Donuts.
