Remember the days, Panther fans, when PSL stood for “Personal Seat License,” and you had to make a decision as to whether or not your football obsession was worth that…

Remember the days, Panther fans, when PSL stood for "Personal Seat License," and you had to make a decision as to whether or not your football obsession was worth that investment?  Yeah, those were the good old days.  For about the last decade or so, PSL has stood for only one thing:  Pumkin Spice Latte.  Nothing says, "fall" like those three magic words with the taste and aroma that accompanies them.  Of course, you don't have to wait for fall anymore to get your fix.  Getting your hands on PSL is now as easy in August as getting your Christmas fix at Wal Mart in September (ie...not hard).  The reason for this is simple:  money.  And everyone wants their piece of the PSL pie, which leads me to this...

That's right, Build-A-Bear is going for the Pumpkin Spice cash out now.  Here are the specs.  The orange bear is 16-inches tall with sparkly gold paws and ears.  Of course, all its 'fits are fall-themed and of course, these fuzzy beasts reek of pumpkin spice.  Cost? $22.  Oh, and of course its pumpkin spice scent can be refilled.
