Took them a long time to discover it was disgusting.

@dpiponi I'm not sure whether this is satire or not..... if it's real I'm surprised it makes it as far as being merely disgusting, it sounds literally undrinkable

@julesh 100% serious. It was such a horrible thing to do to coffee and I couldn't understand why they were promoting it for a long time.

@dpiponi I think that would count as an act of war against Italy

@dpiponi maybe they made a deal with the Mafia they couldn't back out of and had to do *something* with thousands of gallons of olive oil...

@julesh @dpiponi Or maybe a prank by some guy in Milan who convinced Starbucks that they should sell this "Oleato" as a coffee even though it is clearly a laxative.

@dpiponi Why in the world is this a thing? I thought spiced pumpkin lattes were enough of an abomination upon the world of coffee, but this? This? Wasting coffee and olive oil? Gah.

@dpiponi When I first read this headline I visualized oil and glass shards shattering all over the floor while coffee sprays everywhere from the vigorous shaking

@byorgey I love ambiguous headlines. The BBC are particularly good at them and I doubt they're accidental.

@dpiponi Now about that overly-dark roast...

@petersibley You only have the idea. I have the actual memory of tasting it!
