Genius! Combining two commodities into one deliciously overpriced beverage: olive oil and coffee!

@chrismessina haha, butter and coffee is called Bulletproof Coffee, what do you call coffee with olive oil?
Chris Messina
@kenlian Oleato? 😂 But true! I wonder why Starbucks didn't use butter... Maybe olive oil is more universal and appeals to vegans.
Ken Lian
@chrismessina I think olive oil+coffee is a green and healthy drink, vs Bulletproof coffee is debatable and many people talk shit about how many calories it has in a small cup, additionally I think there are some brands that have a decent market share already with butter so Startbuck want to avoid that competition and be the first with the olive oil idea.

@kenlian it's a very savvy business move. I think I'll try to make this myself tomorrow morning. :)

@chrismessina you just become one of their paying customers, one user ahead of product-market-fit, lol

I could have sworn that I heard they killed this on account of the fact that it makes everyone shit their pants?
