The new Starbucks drink has a potentially fragile combination: caffeine, which is a stimulant, and olive oil, which is a relaxant.

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. “It is one of the biggest launches we’ve had in decades,” Brady Brewer, Starbucks’ chief marketing officer, told CNN. Former CEO Howard Schultz added in an interview with Poppy Harlow that it will “transform the coffee industry,” and be “a very profitable new addition to the company.

A 16-ounce drink has as much as 34 grams of fat, which is more than what many find in a meal, registered dietitian nutritionist Erin Palinski-Wade said. And mineral oils like olive oils tend to be used to treat constipation because it helps soften the stool, making it easier to go the bathroom. “If you combined high fat in a meal or in a beverage along with coffee, which already stimulates the bowels,” Palinski-Wade said, “that combination can cause cramping.

You know what a real potential fragile combination is, reddie vodkas, try 8 of them in one sitting.

It’s called Turbo Lax

Starbucks: Wait until you try our fried ice cream

Gee, that’s a “No-brainer”🤣

Not paying for over priced laxative….😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂 and who the hell makes up these drinks?

Better palm oil vege based then

Starbucks can then charge for bathroom use.

Don't drink it, crazy concept I know

。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。

Time for Dunkin ❤️

Hello Sir, here is your drink and the bathroom keys

Vodka redbull worse? Same? But?

What is the calorie count?

It makes you more alert when you gotta go?

How many time are you going to post this. Those drinks are gross.

Gives a whole new meaning to coffee run.

Perhaps they could rebrand it as a colonoscopy prep drink? 🤔

🚽

The best and healthiest I do in my selfmade coffee I can't tell, they'd do it right away and make a billion out of it, what they wouldn't share with anybody too.

Sometimes I make an extra portion caffeine in my coffee.

Surely they use the cheapest blended olive oil they can get.

0.5st world problem

I'm not that kinda guy, that pays 5 bucks for a quarter dollar coffee and then cries his children don't have anything to eat.

What chemical reactions will occur?😳

Prick Teaser?

You've been tweeting this endlessly for about a week, is CNN getting kickbacks from Starbucks to shill this weird product?

Never brought a buck into a starbucks yet. I drink selfmade coffee.

dbchirpy Geez just don’t get that drink. A zillion others.

could be a good thing that coffee is in there to make you run

Is the drink called the stool loosener?

This is a fucking commercial... Why does this come off more like a paid advertisement for 'Starbucks' than a news story? Nobody gives a fuck about 'Starbucks' unless you're told to...

Stop putting olive oil in yer coffee ya heckin weirdos!

A clean start to your day...

That’s what killed John Belushi

A couple of bong hits and everyone will be back at where they started.

Oh dear! Who’s genius idea was that? Employee of the terd.

Wow Starbucks! What about the laptop?

Well, at least we know no one at Starbucks does cocaine.

That's a battle for the ages... or the toilet.

Pretty sure this is what killed Jim Belushi.

Who want olive oil in their coffee? I never drink their stuff…it’s so bitter and they’re woke!

Bubblegum latte

Sounds like a “Oh No leato”

who the fuck wants olive oil in their coffee?!?!?! 🤣😂😣😖😫🤢🤮💩💩💩

Suburban Mom “speed balls”.

Starbucks out here accidentally creating a natural laxative.

I will gladly try this weight loss method.

Fantastic

California governor Gavin newsom running for president says Bud light spokesman Dylan mulvaney will be vice president pledges babies have no rights women have no right to privacy parents have no rights over children 8 9 month abortion legal open border most crime not prosecuted

Someone didn't think this through

Same thing happens with bullet proof coffee if you use butter or coconut oil…

“Fragile?” More like “explosive.”

Maybe they should start printing drug interaction warning labels for their new 'products.' At least warn people they need to be near a bathroom.

I keep trying to figure out why anyone would want olive oil in their coffee in the first place. BUT, they are probably used to all the fake oily stuff called nondairy creamer.

What a disgusting combination. No wonder people are getting sick

However, not a big deal for folks on Keto, or whoever has had Bulletproof Coffee.

Interesting combo! I wonder how it'll taste. But don't worry too much about the potential effects of caffeine and olive oil together, moderation is key. Cheers to trying new things! ☕️🫒

Communist Democrats giving themselves colon cleanses via Starbucks makes the news!

Well no shit… Pun intended.

Trump’s thinking/diarrhea face.

Just means savage, well lubricated dumps

People are referring to it as the crappuccino.

tonmoymustafa39 I prefer coffee, with coffee, call me crazy but, call me when the coffee is ready, might sound racist, but I’ll take it black.

What about your QC department.

Don't take quick decision about food.All starts from food.

When my kids were little and struggling to ‘go’, their Italian granny gave them a spoon of sugar soaked in olive oil - worked a treat

This coffee is only in Italy. Feels like clickbait article.

Venti Castor Oil Skinny Latte

A Starbucks Slick.

Blocked and Reported.

Why are you supporting a union busting MNC?

Sounds like an imperfect sounding balance, opposites

I mean. It’s like having coffee/tea on the side and bread dipped in oil? At the same time.

How can I get my healthy fats without accidentally consuming something delicious? I hate pleasure, give me that olive oil coffee

And you just sh*t your pants after you drink it.

🤡

🫤 I drink Starbucks pretty much everyday, I don’t think this is something I would try 🥴 CNN

पवित्र बाईबल में प्रमाण है यीशु परमेश्वर नहीं, बल्कि परमेश्वर के पुत्र थे। पवित्र बाईबल में परमेश्वर किसी और को बताया है जो मानव सदृश आकार में तख्त पर विराजमान है। (प्रमाण: उत्पत्ति ग्रन्थ पृष्ठ नं. 2 पर, अ. 1:20 - 2:5 पर) Supreme God Kabir

Olive oil in coffee 🤢

Never liked Starbucks! I prefer independent small cafes. Also I think small businesses need our support!

First world problems

Why would anyone go to a f**king Starbucks to drink coffee when they're in Italy?

WhAT THE HELL Who Signed off on this shit !

We want crack !!!! We want crack 😀

People still drink that overpriced shit coffee?

We know that a good portion of Starbucks customers are always complaining,

Isn’t it basically a laxative?

Drink sounds gross

Lawsuits to follow🤣

No shit💩

I bet it will be a great addition to their 'Tastes like shit' range.

This is accurate. Literally goes right through you

So that butter coffee from a decade ago

Starbucks, it is a bad idea, olive oil and cafe.

Drink one oileato, 34 grams of fat, 120 calories. One and done. No need to eat.

That is disgusting.

Glad Starbucks failed in my country as their coffee was terrible and overpriced. Was more like a hipster hangout than a coffee shop.

And you pay for this?

Pretty sure this is an Italian prank on the US

Hahahahahahahaha hahahahahahaha. Sorry. Hahahahahahahaha. 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂

Well no shit… figuratively speaking of course.

Lower your LDL while on the bowl

The only place olive oil belongs is in pasta.

Fragile? Then it'll be perfect for Gen Z. They must have made it for them.

Poop is really funny

I believe whenever olive oil get mixed with anything it’ll makes it better because olive is a blessed tree

WTAF

Olive oil is psychoactive as relaxant, a drug? Never hear that before.

Fragile, like the people who still drink at Starbucks.

No thanks

Thank god I have working taste buds and know that combination would be ass without having to try it. Like, it doesn't even sound appetizing.
