I genuinely suspect that the impetus for this was someone on their corporate board (the type of guy who calls himself an “ideas man” and NOT anyone from their actual product r&d team) was like, “Hey! Bulletproof coffee has been really trendy for the past decade. We need an answer for that! We need to have something like that on our menu, with an oil that’s a lot cheaper for us but that people still think is healthy.” It’s a VERY bad idea, to be sure, but I really feel like this had to have been the origin point of the idea.

Not just that 1) it was the CEO, 2) he claimed he learned it was from some local Italian tradition of putting olive oil in your coffee. Such a tradition does not exist -- every Italian is calling him out as making stuff up, 3) pretty much the only reason this product exists is because he did some under-the-table partnership with an olive oil company. Making business was a priority in making this, not actually making a good product.

Tbf, my grandpa did this. When he was constipated, but he did it.

Actually thank you. I now know the word laxative. (i self taught eng as my second language)

I was slightly curious about the Oleato (= olive oil coffee in Starbucks) because I thought "if it exists it must at least have something special/original about the taste even if I end up not liking it" but the double laxative effect had eluded my mind and now I'll avoid it

Oddly enough I just watched an indie animated short where the main character has the very random habit of asking for olive oil in his coffee.

The top 10 dinossaureses saga has ended

As someone who constantly fights against constipation, I would love to have this drink simply for the chance at relief

It's actually one of my fav drinks from there. Surprisingly tasty!

I mean, I think the idea of adding olive oil to coffee is just adding it to the creamer to make it fluffier, I didn’t know adding it straight to the coffee was a thing
