Every autumn, pumpkin spice seems to take over—lattes, candles, cereals, even dog treats. But this cozy, spiced flavor didn’t appear out of nowhere. In this episode, we trace pumpkin spice back to its roots in colonial kitchens, where cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves were prized imports from Asia and mixed into early pumpkin pies. We’ll follow its rise through the 20th century with pre-mixed “pumpkin pie spice,” and then watch as Starbucks’ Pumpkin Spice Latte transformed it into a cultural phenomenon. From history to marketing, nostalgia to sensory psychology, we’ll explore how a humble pie flavor became the ultimate symbol of fall in America.
