Pumpkin Spice’s Origins

Of course, Starbucks did not create the first pumpkin spice latte, nor did it invent the spice that inspired the 400-calorie monster drink’s name. Cafes gave birth to the former in 1996, while the latter dates back to the mid-twentieth century.

The spice’s origins in the postwar economic boom should come as no surprise: many aspects of American domestic life began to economize at this point. Swanson introduced the TV dinner to save families time and maximize leisure. Baking has also undergone similar changes in the name of convenience.

According to Chicagoist, in the 1950s and 1960s, McCormick began to “bundle” spices commonly used in pumpkin pie into a single, amalgamated spice known as pumpkin spice, so that “those who didn’t feel like measuring individual spices” wouldn’t have to anymore. Slowly, the spice began to appear in dishes other than pumpkin pie, solidifying its association with autumn.

Welcome to the fall season, with all of its ups and downs. The leaves are changing colors, the air is cooling, and all we need is a pumpkin spice latte!
