Is America's Love Affair with Pumpkin Spice Finally Over? | 29

When Starbuck's introduced the Pumpkin Spice Latte nearly two decades ago, no one knew it would ignite such a major cultural firestorm (albeit a very cozy, comforting one). How did a seasonal drink, which almost got nixed in the planning stages, get so popular? And after years of copycat product fatigue, is America's love affair with Pumpkin Spice finally over? Nikki and Malone get spicy with food historian Heather Arndt Anderson. They're also joined by dietician Connie Weissmuller to see if there are health benefits to the PSL. And journalist Jael Goldfine stirs it up with the steamy cultural impact of the Pumpkin Spice Latte.New episodes come out every Thursday.Call Me Curious is available now on Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music, Spotify or wherever you listen.
