Since 2014, Bauer and compatriot Billy Cress have taken to Philadelphia-area Wawa and Starbucks outlets to protest the pre-autumnal pumpkin spice latte invasion.

Though Starbucks has not yet announced its PSL 2016 debut, other chains like Dunkin' Donuts already have the PSL out in full force.

PSA: Pumpkin is back a Dunkin’. We repeat, Pumpkin is back at Dunkin’.

Bauer tells Philly Voice, "When some people think about fall, they think of horrible artificial taste. We don’t see it that way [...] When I think about fall, I’m picturing myself wearing a flannel shirt, drinking something like apple cider, not a sugary, fake nutmeg taste.”

He opines that the PSL onslaught should start no earlier than mid-September.

Bauer's hashtag #StopPrematurePumpkinSpicing is used on Twitter and Instagram.

I agree with @beansauer #StopPrematurePumpkinSpicing

Now it's up to the public to help Bauer put PSL where it belongs, hopefully somewhere alongside chunky sweaters and, one day, Daylight Savings Time.
