Starbucks coffee with olive oil?

[Anonymous]

Has anyone heard of this new unholy alliance? Would you drink it?

Apparently the CEO of Starbucks was holidaying in Sicily. When he saw the sicilians drinking their olive oil shots at the bar, followed by a little cup of espresso, he mused, "what if we made it the same drink?" And tasked his drink creators with making it happen.

Behold the Oleato, an oatmilk and olive oil coffee drink

I think it will block the absorption of caffeine, but you still get your yummy coffee.

Starbucks coffee is not yummy and the only thing good about it is that it has caffeine.

To me, I don’t care for half & half in my coffee due to the mouth feel. The thought of olive oil in coffee makes me cringe.

Butter is the best with coffee.

This is what happens when people get more money than they know what to do with. They go crazy and take their company with them.

The name sounds like those gross weight loss potato chips from the 1990s. Olean I think.

Olestra. Olean is a town in western NY state.

I think it is hilarious that Sixbucks is even in Italy. It’s like when Dominoes tried it there. WTF.

Sixbucks is terrible. Unless you like burnt coffee served by exploited employees of a union-buster

Agree, the name reminds me of the Olestra debacle and diarrhea. Wondering if the Starbucks marketing team was too young to know of the association. May be bsd for sales if other people also think it is using th infamous diarrhea ingredient.

This helps with constipation. If you’re constipated, added a tablespoon of olive oil to coffee. Should work great and on daily basis should keep you regular.

I use olive oil on my salad. That’s enough.

exactly! it's kind of like a joke in sicily that olive oil will cure what ails ya. constipation, diarrhea, earache, tummy ache, hangover, doesn't matter, take a spoonful of olive oil!

I guess there was a lot lost in translation with the starbucks ceo. i can't blame the olive oil ceo, of course he wants to sell his product. And who can blame him? Batti lu ferru mentri è càudu. (Strike while the iron is hot.)
