Over the last few years, pumpkin spice lattes have become so popular with a large group of people the drink has become a fashion accessory as much as a type of drink.
With Starbucks leading the PSL charge each year, many look forward to this time of year as the spiced coffee drink returns to the massive chain. This year the popular drink returned before August had finished.
So Vancouver Is Awesome asked readers to weigh in on when they start enjoying the drink.
Even though the drink is a popular subject on social media and online, the 'never' option won out by far, with more than two-thirds opting to never take a sip of the drink.
Of those who do partake, the biggest group won't reach for a cup until October, a month after the drink is being offered.
While those two groups may cause some to pause and ask why bring the drink back so early, it should be noted that the third largest group, or about 8.5 per cent of readers, will start drinking pumpkin spice lattes as soon as possible; that's a sizable number of fans.
