Pumpkin Spice Latte at Dunkin' Donuts: What to know about the demure launch date
They're bringing pumpkin back.
Dunkin' Donuts has dropped several demure hints regarding the release date of their Pumpkin Spice Latte--one of them being that the date rhymed with "shmaugust shwenty shmeighth."
"Warn your boyfriends now - pumpkin is back next week," they cautioned in a post on X last Thursday.
Now, the brand says it's ready to give 'em pumpkin to talk about.

Dunkin' has historically released its fall offerings, which include the renowned Pumpkin Spice Latte, in August (before its competitor--Starbucks).
Starbucks, however, released their Pumpkin Spice Latte, and a new Iced Apple Crisp Nondairy Cream Chai last week. It’s the earliest Starbucks has ever offered the product. Last year, the Starbucks fall menu returned on Aug. 24.
When does Dunkin' get pumpkin?
This year, the coffee giant decided to take a more mindful approach by hinting at a possible date.
"See how we wait patiently, very considerate (we don’t know how much longer we can take this)," the brand posted earlier this week.
On Tuesday they wrote saying "ONE DAY AWAY," in a post on Instagram.
The post showed a picture of an August calendar titled "Are you free Aug. 28th?" with the 28th circled in orange.
"Hmm I don’t know that’s my 26th wedding anniversary. Move over hubby it’s time for pumpkin!!" one user commented.
So it is safe to say that the fall drink will be available for purchase on Wednesday, Aug. 28.
"Been ready since 4th of July," one person commented.

Convenience chain 7-Eleven released its fall offerings on Aug. 1, according to a news release published on its website. In addition to pumpkin-spiced coffee drinks, five 7-Eleven stores had a limited-time "Pumpkin Spice Slurpee" drink, the company said.
The beverage "is unlike anything fall flavor fans have tasted before, with the flavor of pumpkin and cinnamon spice swirled together in the form of a refreshing, ice-cold Slurpee drink," its website said.
