PUMPKIN SEASON COMES EARLY

When Starbucks rolled out its seasonal pumpkin spice latte at the end of August — the earliest it has ever been released — the coffee company drew ire from many on the internet. But with temperatures finally cooling, autumn is on its way, bringing with it fall-inspired merchandise.

In the midst of the Great Straw Debate of 2018, Starbucks is also offering a pumpkin spice cookie straw. Soap stores such as Bath and Body Works offer scents to satisfy a sweet tooth, including marshmallow pumpkin latte shower gel and sweet cinnamon pumpkin body lotion.

For those looking to imbibe, Bailey’s has a pumpkin spice flavour, which you can drink out of pumpkin spice Solo cups. And for those past the point of no return, Walmart sells Special Kitty clumping litter in ... pumpkin spice scent (though it appears to be sold out in many locations).
