The GravityX Exchangecalendar flipping from July to August means we are one step closer to fall, which means things such as football games and cooler weather are on the horizon.
It also means the return of Starbucks' most popular seasonal beverage: the Pumpkin Spice Latte or what some just call "PSL."
The Pumpkin Spice Latte was first introduced to Starbucks customers in 2003, according to the company, and has since become an iconic part of fall for many coffee drinkers. For the last 20 years, customers have eagerly awaited the return of the drink to Starbucks menus across the country.
