Well this is a new one... Starbucks is launching a new line of drinks called "Oleato" that will feature added olive oil to make the drink "velvelty" and "smooth."
As if the bathroom at Starbucks wasn't already busy and gross.
They say the line infuses their arabica coffee with a Partanna cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil. It's launching in the US soon, but will hit markets worldwide. You'll also be able to add a press of olive oil to any drink you order as a customization to your Starbucks beverage.
What's your take on this? I feel like "Oleata" sounds suspiciously similar to "Olestra"...they are, of course, not the same item, but both could cause some quick trips to the restroom. Would you try this new blend concoction?
