Listen up, dear readers! Sylvya and I thought, in the vast wisdom of our many years, "Why not tackle the drink that's been the cause of many a yoga-pant strut across town? The Pumpkin Spice Latte!" Did we expect magic in a cup? Did we anticipate joining the legions of PSL worshippers? Let’s spill the beans (or in this case, the latte).
Now, we figured Russell, our little mister, might need backup. Because let’s face it, the last time he tried something new, it was Brussels sprouts, and we’re still hearing about it. So, he wisely got a chocolate milkshake on standby and an Oreo donut as his palate cleanser.
We took the plunge and ordered the PSL, splitting it because, well, we’re married, and that’s what you do. For donuts, Sylvya went PB&J style (peanut butter and jam, for those out of the loop), while yours truly decided to be as American as possible with an apple pie filling.
Russell, brave soul, sipped first. And while I expected profound wisdom from our young sage, he gave it a very specific 3.4 yoga pants out of 10. That boy and his decimals, I swear.
Next, Sylvya. Let me tell ya, her face was a masterpiece. "It’s like Nutmeg just took a dump in my mouth,” she declared. I couldn't even! Her yoga pants score? A very restrained 0.5. Frankly, I'm surprised she gave it that much.
My turn. Now, I’m no PSL connoisseur. Frankly, I always thought it was the drink of people who liked their coffee with a side of scented candle. But here I was, sipping the nectar of the basic. My verdict? It's...fine. Sort of like when your socks match, but they're both from different pairs. I gave it a 2 out of 10 on the yoga pants scale.
OVERALL BASIC B*TCH TOTAL: 2 YOGA PANTS
But here’s the silver lining - the donuts at Cosmic Cat Donuts are the real MVPs! If they were in the yoga pants game, those things would be high-waisted and giving us all the fall vibes.
Look, maybe Cosmic Cat Donuts’ PSL is the bee's knees for those who've been down this golden (orange?) road before. But for PSL newbies like Sylvya and me, we need more...experience to appreciate whatever that was. Will we ever be swayed to the dark (or should I say, light and frothy) side?
Stay tuned! "In the Forest" cafe, you’re next on our list. Prepare your best PSL – or, you know, be ready for another entertaining yoga pants debacle.
Cheers and chuckles,
Jon, the not-so-basic dude just trying to understand the hype.
