Starbucks

Nope, that pumpkin you taste isn't in the spice that sits on top of the whipped cream.

Get ready to embrace the cozy season because the much-anticipated return of Pumpkin Spice Lattes to the Rockford area Starbucks is just around the corner.

It's not on the Starbucks menu yet but an employee has leaked the date when the Pumpkin Spice Latte is showing up in 2024.

This secret will self-destruct in 5 seconds. No, wait. It won't. That's just something I wanted to say thanks to the old Mission Impossible TV show. It's a real secret that's now been leaked explaining how you can get secret drinks and even secret sizes from Illinois Starbucks places.

While the unappealing name didn't make the cut, a racy logo was somehow approved.

Here's a little heads-up for anyone who snagged a cute Starbucks mug during the 2023 holiday season. There's a recall on some of those festive cups due to overheating and causing burns.

Pandemonium has officially hit Starbucks Target stores everywhere for one reason only, a new pink Stanley cup.

The announcement is one of several changes coming to Starbucks this year.

You'll want to factor this into your morning commute starting in January.
