Pumpkin Spice Lattes are back at Starbucks starting today, along with the rest of their fall menu. And it’s the earliest they’ve ever started selling it.

They started on August 25th last year. So it’s only one day earlier, but still a new record.

Fall doesn’t officially start until September 22nd, by the way.
