00:00The Pumpkin Spice Latte has returned to Starbucks to celebrate its 20th year in existence. The
00:05much-loved drink hit stores on August 24th, which ties 2021 for the drink's earliest debut. Pumpkin
00:11Spice Lattes were born in 2003 when Starbucks was looking for a drink to follow up the creation of
00:16the Peppermint Mocha. The beverage was tested in about 100 stores that year before launching
00:20nationwide and in Canada in 2004. Starbucks says it has sold hundreds of millions of Pumpkin Spice
00:26Lattes since its inception. The fall drink helped make Pumpkin Spice an $800 million industry,
00:31with companies like McCormick & Company saying the spice didn't really take off until Starbucks
00:35released the Pumpkin Spice Latte. Starbucks' 2023 fall menu also features two new seasonal
00:41beverages, the Iced Apple Crisp Oatmeal Shake & Espresso and the Iced Pumpkin Cream Chai Tea Latte.
