Starbucks wants you to bring pumpkin spice with you before the fall season ends.
Starbucks' Pumpkin Spice Latte varsity jacket is just one way the company is celebrating the 20th anniversary of the fall drink on Tuesday.
The drink is more than a latte but rather the start of a cultural movement that started a love for the fall season and wave for pumpkin spice flavor products, according to the company. "Pumpkin spice" even became permanently cemented in the Merriam-Webster dictionary last year.
