When the PSL hits the menu, you can bet your bottom dollar that Instagram will be flooded with photos of that iconic cup, further driving its popularity and sales.
    Now, for today's fun fact: Did you know that the Pumpkin Spice Latte has its own Twitter account? Yes, you heard that right. The PSL is so popular that it has its own social media presence, where it shares updates, interacts with fans, and even posts selfies—well, cup selfies, to be precise.
