Some customers are complaining the new olive oil-infused Starbucks drink is making them run to the bathroom

Starbucks is betting big on olive oil infused coffee, hoping customers will be enticed by the anomaly and the health benefits of extra virgin olive oil.

What did they think was going to happen? LOL I saw the intro for that swill on CNBC and scratched my head in amazement, but it might just sell.

I dont want to take credit but my first thought also was..
Olive oil + coffee = poo fountain in 15-30min.

taking a laxative + stimulant in one go.

registered dietitian nutritionist Erin Palinski-Wade said, mineral oils like olive oil ...

Never trust a dietitian who thinks olive oil is a mineral oil.

Would love to see these people after a few expresso martinis

 

[SwampSurvivor]

Uh I mean ... Yeah. That would be expected.

The first thing I thought of was the scene in "Silencio Roto" where the mean Fascist officer makes a guy chug olive oil to get answers out of him.

One way to make their cups do dual purpose.

First world problem.

Starbucks uses artificial stuff.

Putting fat in your coffee without accompanying sugar has become a very popular fad. My wife's been putting coconut oil in hers for a few years now. Something about the fat getting caffeine into your brain faster or something.

I have been hearing this as well. It’s part of the keto diet fad. Adding butter or MCT oil to coffee. It sounds ghastly to be honest.

All it needs is an ounce of prune juice and a liberal dose of jalapeño pepper extract to complete the "experience."

Why? Butter tastes the same as full fat creme (cause it is the same thing minus the water) and MCT oil doesn't have a taste at all.

Imagine of Starbucks started giving these out as free samples at the very beginning of the long, morning drive-thru line… oh, the havoc they could wreak.

I love EVOO, I might even try it, though I’m not a huge Starbucks fan. It does seem like an excessive amount of fats/oils, but I don’t really know what the expected amount is when one lightens their coffee with cream…

Always learning something on this forum!

Perhaps unless one drinks their coffee pure and black which also invokes opposition here.

Black no sugar is best.
