  "account": "In a quirky new commercial for Dunkin', Ginger Spice and Baby Spice reunite to introduce the brand's fall flavors. However, the duo reveals there was a sixth member in the original Spice Girls, a character played by Rachel Dratch, who fans have never heard of. Dratch, who goes by Pumpkin Spice in the ad, is seated alongside Ginger Halliwell-Horner and Baby Emma Bunton for a mock documentary-style interview.\n\nDratch, dressed in a bright orange outfit, sips on a pumpkin-flavored iced latte and sings praises of her group's fictional songs. \"‘Don’t Squash My Love,’ ‘Walk Through My Pumpkin Patch,’” she lists off. \"My favorite? ‘Bumpin’ Pumpkins.’\"\n\nPumpkin Spice explains that she left the band to focus on lattes, leaving the other members, including Victoria Beckham, Mel B, and Mel C, devastated. \"The others still won’t talk to her,\" Halliwell-Horner playfully quips.\n\nDratch jokes that Pumpkin Spice was ahead of her time, possibly a little too seasonal for the time. She adds that leaving the Spice Girls to focus on lattes was a commitment she respects. Dratch finds it fun to bring Pumpkin Spice back with Emma and Geri for Dunkin', feeling like she's finally getting the recognition she deserves.\n\nBaby Spice, Emma Bunton, shares that the pumpkin spice latte reminds her of special memories with her family in New York. It's her go-to drink, describing it as \"autumn in a cup!\"\n\nGinger Halliwell-Horner may star in a Dunkin' ad, but her beverage of choice is tea, mentioning that a whole dozen could satisfy her if she's feeling ravenous. She also enjoys dunking her tea. The Spice Girls join a list of A-listers who have partnered with Dunkin', including Sabrina Carpenter, Ice Spice, Jelly Roll, and Megan Thee Stallion.",
