In a playful social media post, Dunkin’ shared an image from its app with the message: “See how we’re bringing back pumpkin? Very mindful, very patient, very demure.” The Instagram caption added a fun twist, hinting at the release date without directly stating it: “Apparently I’m not allowed to say when pumpkin comes out but it rhymes with shmaugust shwenty shmeighth.”
Fans quickly deciphered the playful hint, realizing that the Pumpkin Spice Latte will be returning on August 28. Despite the slightly later release date compared to previous years, Dunkin’ enthusiasts flooded the comment section with excitement and anticipation.
