It’s the Kielbasa Kid…

…and we’re not even into September yet but everything pumpkin is starting to hit the store shelves. From pumpkin spiced coffee to pumpkin spiced beer. Now I like pumpkin but apparently not as much as everyone else. I remember my son brought some pumpkin beer to the house and showed me how to properly enjoy it. Sorry, I want my beer to taste like beer. I like Corona but without the lime thank you very much. Of the top ten pumpkin spiced flavored treats according to One Poll, Coffee came out on top by 77 percent. And according to a financial services company called Square, 79 percent love the pumpkin spice latte. So, it’s no surprise that Starbucks pumpkin spice latte is now available according to the 98 percent of posts on Instagram but it is a shame Starbucks waits until the last minute before Labor Day weekend to bring back their Thanksgiving drinks. Folks in Oregon can lay claim to the state that consumes the most pumpkin spice lattes followed by Wisconsin, Ohio, Iowa and North Dakota. One Grande Pumpkin Spice Latte made with 2 percent milk and whipped cream clocks in with 380 calories, 14 grams of fat and 50 grams of sugar. A cheat sheet listed how much exercise a person would have to do to burn one of those Grande’s off and most of those listed involved at least 30 minutes of work. From jumping rope to spinning. I never new spinning to be an exercise but you’d definitely break a sweat and for me it would take less than 30 minutes of spinning and that Grande would be coming up the same way it went down…
