I Have a Confession to Make

Anonymous032819 — Fri, 27 Aug 2021 23:35:03 GMT

I have never had a pumpkin spice latte.

All I can think about is all of the sugar and calories in one of those things.

A Grande has 380 calories, and a whopping 50 grams of sugar!😮

Is there something that everyone else seems to love, that you have never tried?

I have never had one either. It does not sound good to me.

Neither have I . Too many calories & may irritate my stomach.

I haven't either and won't.

A few years ago, I tried some pumpkin spice flavored candy and it felt like I was eating a candle.

I haven't had one either, and it's okay with me! It reminds me of when I was working, and 4 or 5 of the senior officers would walk down to S***B**** every morning to get their daily latte - whatever the flavor of the month was. They'd carry around the cup all morning - sort of like a badge of honor! LOL!

I've never had one either, I don't like pumpkin spice anything so the whole PSL craze is lost on me!

I don't drink coffee, so this is something that doesn't appeal to me.

I've never tasted coffee in any form.

Never had one or wanted one either, @Anonymous032819

If I want pumpkin plus calories, I'll choose pie or maybe a scone.
(Not a fan of a lot of spice, either.)

@Anonymous032819 ....I'm the same, I would not try the drink but I do love a blizzard - but I only eat the small one...way to many calories.

So to answer the question, I eat what I really want but if the items is really high in fat/calories, I purchase the smallest I can buy or only eat half.

Pumpkin spice is cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg. There is no pumpkin in it.

I never use it, not even when I make pumpkin desserts. I love pumpkin, but not the canned stuff...real pumpkin only.

I have never tried Dr. Pepper, Mountain Dew or beer. Well, I tasted them and spit it out..yuck.

I don't care for coffee. I do make an exception for mocha, because everything is better with chocolate.

I have never tried one either I only like pumpkin in a pie or cake, etc. I like my coffee regular with milk - my joy in the morning when I get up and read my emails.

I've had all the delicious lattes and Frappuccino's in the past. Real treats!

however, with age and my metabolism slowing down, I need to avoid empty calories more than ever now.

I feel deprived.🥴
