Confusion and anger blossomed on State Street Wednesday afternoon when Starbucks announced to basic white girls, your mom and the world at large, that they would be introducing a new drink to their repertoire of Holiday inspired beverages to challenge the big spoon position of the Pumpkin Spice Latte: the Chestnut Praline Latte.

“I’m just feeling a little rushed. It took us a full two months to come up with the hashtag #PSpice4Lyfe, and this latte just doesn’t rhyme with 4Lyfe,” sophomore Dakota Lenz said.

Alternatively, other students struggle to grasp the concept of the of new drink.

“What even is a pray-line?,” one Shawn Olsen tweeted. Much favoriting of this tweet ensued from his fellow underclassmen; the tweet in question was even retweeted later by none other than Jaden Smith.
