Here's how many pumpkin pie spices are in that pumpkin spice latte
For some, the changing leaves are indicative of fall, while for others it's that alluring scent of the wildly popular pumpkin spice latte - a seasonal coffee drink, known as a PSL, that mysteriously gives you a burst of delicious pumpkin pie flavor without the hassle of baking or dishwashing.
