Nutrition[edit]

Unless someone has a source, can we get rid of the "many people have voiced concerns" language? Also, the information under "nutrition" seems more like it should be under a heading of "controversy," or just wrapped into the "history" heading. "Nutrition" evokes quantifiable, scientific properties of a food. Hari's vague concerns about caramel colouring don't strike me as rising to this level--Eggbake (talk) 23:40, 3 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Nutrition Information[edit]

Hello. I've noticed that the information regarding the nutritional facts have the potential to be misleading and are out of date. The nutrition information states what is in a "Grande" Pumpkin Spice Latte, however it fails to indicate what actually makes up the standard beverage, therefore it needs to be updated. I work as a barista at Starbucks, and by default, a Pumpkin Spice Latte is made with 2% milk and comes with whip cream. Currently a Grande (16oz) Pumpkin Spice Latte (made with 2% milk and whip cream) contains these key nutritional facts: 380 calories, 50 grams of sugar and 14 grams of fat^[1]. --Adrianfaziooo (talk) 17:55, 28 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Untold History[edit]

Why is there a separate subheading for two lines of text? Also, what makes this history "untold?" Would it make more sense to just bundle this under the main "History" tab?--Eggbake (talk) 23:40, 3 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Stereotypes[edit]

The stereotype of pumpkin spice latte's originates from the bias thought of white girls being the one who drink these. It is a stereotypical comment to make when people find white girls with these in their hand or when they order on the line of Starbucks. In reality, anybody can like a pumpkin spice latte. With social media and memes, this has become a worldwide phenomenon where white girls are expected to know about this drink more than anyone else. — Preceding unsigned comment added by GabbaGg (talk • contribs) 15:42, 4 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi GabbaGg. The article doesn't currently discuss any stereotypes around this product. Do you have a reliable source that discusses the social context to which you're referring? Ibadibam (talk) 16:47, 4 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Intro to PSL[edit]

Hey everyone! Just a suggested edit from your fellow Starbucks barista, there is no added sugar in the drink itself as the introduction said (I went ahead and corrected it) and the beverage is usually available from late August to early January (as I've corrected too). That's all! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Xmollyannx (talk • contribs) 23:15, 22 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Cover photo change?[edit]

Shouldn’t the cover photos for this page be a hot latte. The Frappuccino is a variant of the original. 2600:4040:B67A:CD00:41FE:152B:2AB8:EEA7 (talk) 20:16, 29 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

There does not seem to be a freely licensed photo of a hot PSL. If a photo is added to WikiCommons, it would be great to include both. Cerebral726 (talk) 20:19, 29 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
