I’m such a sucker for anything “seasonal”. It’s only here for a limited time! I tell myself. I have to get THIS one NOW! I’ll overdose, going extremely out of my way to find the nearest Starbucks just to get the almighty drink that will be here today, and gone tomorrow.
It’s the same thing when Christmas season comes. I’m a fucking slave for the Peppermint Mocha!
Even with beer, I also have to get the Sam Adams Seasonals. What if they disappear? I’ll never be able to get this beer until a year from now! I could be dead! And a year is such a long time! Octoberfest is also my favorite seasonal beer. Mmmm. Speaking of…I can go for some Sam tonight. And you can place your bets as to which one I’m going to pick up!
That said: Starbucks has released the delicious Pumpkin Spice Latte to usher in the arrival of Fall. Welcome, Fall. And thank you for your delicious beverages that drive me to insanity year after year, time and time again.
I’m such a sucker for marketing.
