Starbucks' Olive Oil-Infused Coffee Causes Laxative Backlash

Some Starbucks customers are experiencing laxative effects after drinking the new Oleato coffee beverages infused with extra virgin olive oil. The coffee chain debuted the Oleato beverages in Italy this February and has since rolled them out in some major cities across the U.S. While some customers are enjoying the new drink line, others are venting about the unpleasant side effects on social media. The combination of coffee and olive oil seems to be causing a lot of people to run to the bathroom, likely due to both of their laxative properties.
