I handed out free sample of pumpkin spice latte today at work because it was slow, and this jolly group of marines fresh out of the barracks for the weekend sauntered over excitedly. They asked what it was before taking a sample and when I said, “Pumpkin Spice Latte,” their hands flew back so quickly you’d think terrorists had made bombs out of them at some time. The look of terror was hilarious, and they proceeded to mumble about cults and Kool-Aid.

So I asked them what their favorite drinks were and they all left with free tall drinks.
