When is the last time you went to Starbucks, Loyal Theorist? Was it all the way back in September for a pumpkin spice latte? Or are you a regular Starbucks coffee drinker who prefers the iced caramel macchiato? Either way, you’re in for a REAL treat on your next Starbucks run because the company is putting OLIVE OIL in your coffee. Sure, it sounds gross; but it gets way worse…

FUN FACT: Me and the girls at my regular Starbucks are good friends, and the one day I walked in and told them I was going to try something different from my usual. The girl at the counter paused, beckoned me closer, and when we were both leaning over the counter she outright tells me "Dont order the new drinks. The oleato stuff? Its awful. Its been upsetting peoples stomachs and it isn't good."
Needless to say, don't get it, bc if the people that work there are risking their jobs to warn you away then there's probably a reason
My farts are better than Matpat’s farts
counter girl came in clutch.
Hey, but it works as a very good laxative.
@@gabrielkawa3477 an expensive one at that
It pays to be on good terms with the people who make your food and drinks
As a starbucks barista, I was already disgusted when I heard about this drink. Luckily, none of the 4 starbucks in my area serve this yet, and I am hoping it stays that way.
My farts are better than Matpat’s farts 💨 💨
Sure you were 🤥🤥🤥
Dude as a barista at Starbucks, I regret to say it’s coming. All the Starbucks within my area I work at serve this drink and I too was disgusted and horrified when I first heard of it
@@Rusty84CV?
Starbucks barista here. We got it a few weeks ago and we were required to have a meeting where each barista tried all 3 drinks. NOW they're doing sampling where they schedule a barista to sit out for 4 hours and hand out samples by the box. This is texas. it's 100 degrees outside.
I had the Oleato Golden Foam when it debuted in Italy months ago. As an Italian olive oil lover, I was very intrigued, and it tasted okay. An interesting experience for sure.
PROBLEM IS, I SPENT THE REST OF THE DAY ON THE TOILET.
How Starbucks tested the product and still decided this was a good idea is beyond me.
You've been warned!
See, for me who has trouble…. In that department. I actually like that it helps me go. Otherwise my normal movement is once every two days.
So I guess for shy poopers it’s actually a good thing?
I’m getting one right now because I ate a whole bag of hot Takis last night and it’s 12 hours later and still no go.
@@autumn557 Bowel movements every 2 days is still perfectly normal 2-3 times a day to every 3 days is normal...
@@autumn557 Sure, but I don't see the drinks being advertised as such, that's the bigger problem 💀😭
Howard Schultz is getting old, and therefore needs to stay regular, thus thinking it was a good idea. That's my own theory.
Probably my cup of tea or coffee lol. I can only go like once maybe twice a week if I don't eat like 5 handfuls off cheese in my meal or drink 3 cups of milk. Lactose intolerant lol
Starbucks Barista here. Olive oil coffee is an actual thing, in one small town in Italy to make the coffee smoother. Apparently, the higher-ups wanted to create an authentic coffee experience, however, they weren't able to develop it well on a large scale. It's only offered in a few select stores right now, but I believe it may be expanding. Most baristas (from what I know) don't like it, don't think it's a good idea, and don't want to advertise or recommend the drink, but there's nothing we can do. This was a decision made solely by higher-ups without talking to those of us who regularly drink Starbucks, know the customers, and are the face of the brand (for legal reasons I do not represent the company and this is my own personal opinion)
Typical
I'm curious: which town are you referring to when you say it's in a "small town in Italy"? It's the first I've ever heard of it being a thing anywhere.
I drink oily coffee (buttered) every few days or so and I quite enjoy it . I fully understand where the movement comes from , bein someone who subsists on lots of fats (everyone is different ) , and people acting like Emulsification is some Culinary Sin need to get their facts and maybe head checked before starting any arguments on the internet . because you're not arguing with Everyone, you're arguing with Enjoyers of a Kind of Thing .
look up Food Emulsifiers if you think water and oil should never mix .
@@iidoyila_live_ Not to mention the olive oil and balsamic vinegar often served with bread in Italian restaurants - Honestly, such an argument really shows the lack of thought put into it
Just because Starbucks told you it’s a thing in a small town in Italy, doesn’t mean it’s true.
what’s absolutely insane to me is that we baristas were told that this isn’t a seasonal drink it’s PERMANENT
I doubt it’s gonna last long enough to be permanent
It’s not, some folks are smart enough to see the warning signs without buying the drink. The ones who aren’t will learn pretty quick after they become close friends with their toilet.
My condolences.
I would just tell people on the down-low to not buy it.
That is super scary, I would love to see the boardroom meeting that made this thing.
As a Starbucks Barista, I was shocked when I heard that this was a real product that was being made. Genuinely thought it was a joke and now im making them.
Please, silently but harshly judge whoever orders it.
Have u tried it and what does it taste like?
@Bananabeens I don't think my soul would allow me to do that to my body 😂. I refuse to try it! But my manager said it tastes like a weird combo of olives with just bitter coffee...
@@MostaChloe sounds good will try it 😋!
@@MostaChloeThey don’t have you try the new flavors anymore? I was a barista many years ago
This fad totally misses the part where you’re supposed to REMOVE the less healthy ingredient before adding the equivalent healthy one. Usually the ingredient olive oil replaces is butter, which as far as I know is not a typical coffee add-in lol
Butter is healthier and tastes better in coffee, works well when out of cream.
Butter coffee is a thing. Haven't tried it but it is a pretty popular thing among coffee enthusiast 😅
@@Kitty4uyea i think its good for keto right
The olive oil situation is like a fever dream. It's as if Oleo bought out the company and is now using it to push its products at the detriment of the store.
i'd love to see a food theory on if you can really survive just drinking "meal replacement shakes" like Yfood, Soylent, Huel etc like to claim
My farts are better than Matpat’s farts 💨 💨
Spoiler alert: short term,yes. Long term,no.
I used them to replace a meal during my diet last year but, even exchanging flavors constantly, I grew tired of them. BTW, is really there a shake named Soylent?!?! At least I hope it's not made out of people 😁
@@p-__Who ask ?
I would also love to watch a video on this!
The moment this drink was first announced to all the Starbucks partners, all of my barista groups were blowing up about how this was the worst possible idea - especially since YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO PUT OIL DOWN THE DRAIN, BUT WHAT DO WE DO WITH ALL OF OUR DRINKS WHEN WE MAKE A MISTAKE??? DOWN IT GOES!
As a dishwasher who deals with oily pans in 3 sinks: you are so fuckt. so so fucked. Unless you do regular cleanings with a degreaser that is approved for stainless steel / steel use (and even then you need to replace every year), your sink will break in about 4-5 months. With the greaser is about 8-12 months, depending on how good your nightshift can do ratios for the cleanings.
It's used cooking oil that solidify down the drain. Olive oil will stay as a liquid. Still a dumb idea
@@mattwroe4776 if it IS olive oil, I dont know what brand they are using, but olive oil fraud is a whole thing
It's viscous at room temp and only locks up when it's cold, so unless you're in Minnesota in winter or something it'll probably be fine- for awhile. There are worse things (like birth control and Prozac) going into the tap water that don't get completely filtered out- oh God, I never thought to ask- do you guys use TAP for the coffee?! 😰
@@voluntaryismistheanswerkinda? We use super filtered tap water. We have special spouts for the water we use for coffee. It’s really good water, trust me. But still kinda comes from tap I suppose.
I have never heard of an Oleato before. Thank you for introducing me to this so I never make the mistake of drinking one. You are saving the lives of tastebuds here
Fun fact....there's an entire category of cocktails which are coffee/cocoa paired with wine. Typical wine pairing for coffee are dry reds and typical wine pairing for cocoa are ports and sherries.
I remember a memorable small party I had with See's chocolate and good red port, chess and swimming. A fine combo. RIP See's, sigh.
@@voluntaryismistheanswerwhat happened to See’s?
The thing is there actually are coffee preparations that include olive oil. But it is high quality oil, high quality beans, and methods Starbucks isnt using. Very big difference between the two.
Yeah, I've been making something similar at home for years except with good coffee beans and unfiltered cold-pressed sunflower oil and milk still warm from the cow. Love the taste, but it's definitely for those days I'm feeling a bit constipated or bloated and have nowhere to be for a couple hours. Fixes the issue real good. 🤣
Yeah I prefer to drink my olive oil without the coffee
Actually the new drink is super expensive because they use very high quality olive oil
@@sierras.8447 It's super expensive because they can charge that much and have to justify their marketing campaign for it. A table spoon of olive oil in a drink already marked up hundreds, if not thousands, of a percent over cost isn't going to justify any increase in price.
They use Partanna Olive OIl. It isn't store brand cheap, but it certainly isn't luxury or even high-middle expensive either. It comes in a tin for crying out loud... like paint thinner.
@@sierras.8447 it's super expensive because it's starbucks
The moment of blaming the CEO and then cutting to Matt's bread glove idea killed me 🤣
"Matpat horribly out of context"
2:35 really hope Santi got hazard pay for that, lol
What I don't like about Starbucks is that they don't show you the whole menu. I want something hot and sweet and the menu doesn't give me all the options, so I have to GOOGLE HOW TO ORDER COFFEE. Give us the whole menu! If putting it on the boards isn't feasible, hand out little paper ones! It's way better than whatever the heck you're doing!
As an Italian, southern Italian, living that Mediterranean diet life, the idea of taking one spoonful of oil is so…..weird…. because we just use it all the time 😂😂
but I assume you guys walk a lot more than most Americans too. And not because Americans are lazy but because we would usually have to drive to a park or a gym to walk while you guys can walk to work because of pedestrian friendly infrastructure. The exceptions being a few cities like NYC or SF or some college towns like Ann Arbor.
yeah this is what i really dont get about putting olive oil in drinks
like if you want more olive oil in your diet just cook with it? you're probably already using a different oil anyways
@@jhonshephard921Not exactly, Spanish Italians and Greeks walk pretty much the same as you, I rather think it’s genetics and the lack of fast food chains.

@@pokiesss adoro, io sono pugliese!! 🫶🏻🫶🏻
As someone who grew up in the Mediterranean its quite typical to use olive oil instead of butter on bread, i highly suggest that rather than adding ut to your coffee x
But that’s not gluten free/keto 😜🤪 there’s lots of weird food phobias here
@@It-b-Blair i don’t think people don’t use olive oil on bread because it isn’t keto
@@birdjuice7334 bread is carbs, you don’t eat carbs in a keto diet…

Dipping bread into olive oil with pepper in it so so amazing
Can we just appreciate how Mr. Santi sacrificed his tastebuds for us? Mad respect my man!
I drank a SAMPLE latte(served in a pupcup). My stomach stopped hurting literally 48 hours later.
As a Starbucks barista, seeing MatPat make a video on them finally makes me so happy. Especially because I agree this was a very stupid idea and am surprised that corporate doesn’t believe so. 😂
I'm just upset abt it making all of our shakers and blenders and steamers oily with residue (lukewarm water doesnt clean olive oil, shocker.) ((hope i dont get fired for this lol I know theyre super protective abt oleato slander))

Yes! I have seen the bulletproof 2 Tbsp packets that you supposed to just add into your coffee (hint: its just hydrogenated coconut oil)
When Starbucks announced this the CEO said that he got the idea from coffee shops in Italy and they've already been doing this. I promptly went to google to see if this was a thing. I can't find ANYTHING that says this is or ever has been a thing.
As a Starbucks employee, you don't need to tell me twice that this drink was dumb/a failure. 😂as soon as I saw this coming out I rolled my eyes so far back.

I thought it sounded horrible but figured I should give it a try out of curiosity. It was actually much worse than I thought. I threw it away after one drink.
Where I come from in Greece, it's very popular to dip sourdough bread in olive oil, in most restaurants they give you a basket of sourdough bread to dip. It's enjoyed more by the older people though, when I had it as a child people were surprised because their kids hated olive oil.
they have a place that does that in my homewtown in the US !! bread & olive oil, with red pepper flakes to shake into the oil if you want. so tastyyyy 🤤 thank u for reminding me of this wonderful food option
Well as a turkish person all i can say is ; it may not be the best but it got some buyers
And balsamic
There's a reason why children hate it. It's bitter (just a little bit) and liking bitter foods is an acquired taste.
There was an Italian restaurant here that served bread with a small bowl of olive oil. I was also young say the time and didn't like it.
Who expected that a health drink
marketed & developed by a mega beverage corporation would end up
not being as healthy or beneficial for
consumption as advertised?
Imagine that!
I think MatPat stumbled into a big-selling idea with caffeinated wine.
Hey Mat, could you do a theory about eating through heartbreak? Why it's sometimes very tough to eat, what the best foods are to cheer you up (is the chocolate and ice cream stereotype based in fact??), or what the best foods are when you quite literally can barely eat anything? How to make sure you get your nutrients then. Asking for a friend
Hey I also had a friend that wanted to know, and soup is really non offensive. There's enough variety to keep everything from getting more depressing, and it's a low effort high comfort munch
@@madisonwalsh5877 Thanks so much, my friend really appreciates it❤️ she's gonna load up on soups
Chocolate and strawberries (really any sweet berry). The chocolate thing is based in fact, although exaggerated. Also, don't just eat to cheer up. Get moving. Exercise sucks but it's good to take yer mind off it and after a few weeks actually becomes enjoyable. You do not want to mope around stewing in your thoughts. Get a diversion.
People with symptoms of depression usually experience stomach upsets or nausea causing a loss of appetite. Being humans, our survival instincts tend to take over when we are in an energy deficit and eating anything high in sugar releases dopamine in the brain, hence why chocolate and strawberries are popular choices. You cannot maintain proper nutrients by eating chocolate and strawberries without dietary supplements, and even then they're not a long term solution as you lack the benefits of phytochemicals and other components found in food. As the comment above notes, exercise is by far the best remedy to this. The depression symptoms will subside and you should be able to start eating healthy again.
This is actually something I'd be very interested in seeing!
I can imagine Mat pulling up to a Starbucks and just ordering 10 of the same drink for "testing purposes"

This is a groundbreaking statement. He's never done that with any other food place OR their food products.
I didn't think Starbucks coffee could get any worse.
You could mix coffee with olive oil using an ultrasonic emulsifier. Typically will last long enough for you to finish the drink.
Starbucks knew about the issues before they took it live too. People were reporting it in testing, I've heard.

And Starbucks really care about that. It is an overall overwhelmingly successful Marketing. Just look at all the free marketing that people are doing. Many people will even visit their nearest Starbucks to check if they have anything like this. Once inside, most people will either just get it if available or just order a different coffee/coffee-like thing. Some will even bring lots of friends who will also order other things. Is this drink really harmful and will be a basis for lawsuits? Not likely. So yeah, overall Starbucks is winning it. I admire whoever thought and push for this, great marketing as always. Now they have unlock a new level where they don't have to wait for a season or holiday to release a new product.
I'm from Atlantic Canada, and honestly people would excitedly wait until the mclobster would come around, same with the subway Lobster sandwich, they were cheaper alternatives to getting lobster rolls and I know many people, myself included, were sad when McDonald's stopped bringing it around haha

@@voluntaryismistheanswer Oh! That sounds good! It's so interesting to hear of the different regional food items McDonald's offers.
So I finally get this drink after having started the Keto diet. It adds a bunch of fats to your diet that you should be consuming while on Keto. Sounds weird but I’m sure that that’s the reason they are selling this.
Love your vids btw. Keep them coming! :)
Yes, keto coffee is MCT oil and butter, no milk.
As context, I've been working at Starbucks as a barista for two years now (at two different locations). I went up to Chicago visiting a friend and dared to try the Oleato latte (hot, with oatmilk). Given, this was at the Starbucks Reserve Roastery - the famous one with five floors - and they don't serve much of anything on the regular Starbucks menu. The espresso machines and syrups were also different, so it's fair to say that it basically wasn't a true Starbucks.
However, that Oleato coffee was the best tasting thing ever. It didn't have any added syrup (just espresso, oatmilk, and olive oil), and I was genuinely surprised at how tasty and smooth it is. Though I never want to get one from a regular Starbucks, I'd definitely recommend getting it if you're ever in Chicago. Best coffee I've ever had hands down.
I also tried it at the reserve just a few weeks ago and I really enjoyed it! It’s definitely not the same in store but worth the try at least once!
You put oily glyphospate oat water in coffee and called it 'milk', I think I can discount your accounting of the taste (with that palate and amount of delusion).
@@voluntaryismistheanswer I don't really have much of a choice with a dairy allergy, but it was pretty tasty! I'm just sharing my thoughts... no need for the hate. It's just coffee lol

That's because a lot of people want to be skinny and healthy but they don't want to make any real sacrifices to get there so they look for "hacks".
@@zootsuiter probably true for me because of my extraordinary conditions that make it so inflammatory stuff has a much greater effect.
@@zootsuiter I mean, Nutrition HAS always been a bunch of fads. if you took a calendar you could use the various crazes in nutrition and dieting as a replacement for the years.
the reason is because Nutrition as a science is a relatively new science about something that is somewhat different for everyone. we have only known Vitamins were a thing for about a century. Same could be said for medicine as well, heroin was sold in 1910, marketed as a Non addictive morphine substitute and cough medicine for children.
We are not as advanced as we think we are, even today.
From what I heard, the Starbucks ceo got the idea after talking to an olive oil company ceo, and even that dude, who's whole business is selling olive oil, thought it was a terrible idea.
One of the worst parts is that they serve two of their Oleato drinks iced so the oil gets cold and congeals

Doug Doug would love this coffee so much with his olive oil shots
i was looking for this lmao
It'd simply be the perfect pairing
I work at Starbucks as my fun job. I had a customer come through the drive-thru last week asking for Oleo coffee. We told her we didn't carry it. I guess she'd tried it in another state and LOVED it. She thought it was so delicious. We're actually pretty happy it hasn't come to our state yet.
Lol. I recently told a barista that I'd liked the Oleato latte so much that I got two in a day (blowing my food budget for the week). She was like, "Oh, you liked it?..." I didn't know at the time that many of the baristas are heavily against the oleato stuff. She must have judged me pretty hard..
To add onto that "Mediterranean health/diet thing" I'm going out on a limb and going to say there are a lot more people walking places than the US. I don't see anyone walk anywhere as much as they jump in the car to go 1 or 2 minutes up the road to the next store.
When I visit Europe everyone is walking or at least taking public transit.

Fun factoid: I actually work at a coffee shop (not a starbucks, just a local pokey) that is currently selling olive oil lattes, but we're only allowed to make them hot because of weird texture/taste issues found when trying to do the drink iced. I've tried it, and it actually was not terrible. Definitely not a top pick, but I'd get a small one and share it with a friend if they wanted to try the drink.

Let's be real Matpat, Starbucks is a dessert foods chain. So it's not like anyone was ever going to expect healthy options. You'd be better off going to the froyo shop.
When you attempt to order a cortado and the barista looks at you funny, you know this is true. haha
The Oleato actually contains a mixture of vanilla sweet cream cold foam which we make by adding one jug of heavy whipping cream, one container of vanilla syrup, and a bit of 2% milk. I am not surprised about how unhealthy the new drink is haha! - A Loyal Theorist/ Starbucks Employee
I’m a barista and let me just say when this came out we had to have meetings in order to learn how to promote the stuff cause we all knew it was gonna be hard to sell. And it is. We all have tried it and don’t like it so trying to lie to the customers on why they should spend their hard earned money on this is difficult. But we all get a look from supervisors and managers if we aren’t trying our best to sell it when asked. Also something I think people don’t know is it’s meant to be drunken quickly if not it separates, which cause that greenish yellow foam at the top. Also if you are trying to just use it in the vanilla cold foam please remember that the cold foam is heavy cream and 2% milk, so if you’re sensitive to milk already then adding the oil in it is gonna make it worst. Thankfully it’s only one pump of the stuff but highly don’t recommend.
A few months ago James Hoffman did a video where he tried their olive oil coffees (I think in Italy), and he seemed pleasantly surprised by the taste.
He has sadly removed the video (maybe because Starbucks is union busting at the moment?)
But maybe his video on it had a positive note because an Italian Starbucks is probably leagues ahead of any other country’s.
My farts are better than Matpat’s farts 💨 💨
Honestly Starbucks is not common here, there are like 20 in the whole country, and more than half are in Milan. Also, they opened pretty recently, I think the oldest one has opened probably around 2018?
In a video a week or two ago, MorganDrinksCoffee made her own olive oil drinks based on Starbucks offerings and seemed to like some of them. Steaming the oil into the milk seems to work to emulsify it so it’s smooth not greasy.
I for one am intrigued by the premise. I also love espresso and tonic water (+almond bitters, mmmmm) and coffee and cola so I’m apparently willing to try any random nonsense people want to do with coffee.
James Hoffman had access to possibly the best case scenario for the quality of baristas and the coffee itself. The people who served him those drinks were way more experienced than any non-specialty coffee chain. There's no way a random Starbucks in the US can match that, especially with how poorly paid/trained/treated the baristas are (Hence the unions).

My favorite is Doug Doug: he drinks shots of olive oil.
Classic "Doug Doug Moment"
Meanwhile, DougDoug specifically drinks olive oil straight regularly in order to hit his daily caloric requirements for his diet without having to cook complicated dishes.
That sounds awful. Why couldn't he just use milk. It's very calorie dense and doesn't require any form of torture.
(Not as calorie dense as really fatty oil but plenty enough to get your caloric intake)
@@petelee2477 DougDoug is doing it for his keto diet, and milk isn't keto
He is simply "Douging"
@@jeffreyzhai9527 well that’s moronic
@@petelee2477 doug doesnt abide by what you may consider “common sense” “Decency” or “not locking chat up in his basement” among other things.
I’m so grateful for the internet. I wouldn’t have tried it anyways but I heard about it from ya’ll before seeing it in store
I love your videos and would love you to answer this: why dous mc french fries taste so good
Thank you for actually setting the record straight on Mediterranean diet. So many people miss the point.
DougDoug doesn't just take a spoonful of olive oil a day he takes an entire bottle
DougDoug probably drinks the entire bottle to wash down that full 10lb round of cheese that’s probably still going through his system 😂
Came here to see if someone mentioned Doug’s olive oil addiction, leaving satisfied
NO, I WAS TOO LATE...
I love peggle! #pegme
I was looking for this comment I knew someone had to mention him 😂
For a moment there, he described a Big Mac the same way SpongeBob describes the Krabby Patty.
Never before has a food idea telepathically incited my gag reflex as much as this one.
This reminds me of the "butter coffee" meal replacement diet i was forced on as a child. The only thing i lost was the water weight from the chronic diarrhea that lasted months
That’s so hot..
I just wish Starbucks had their pumpkin spice all year round 😅 It's absolutely my favorite but it's only from like September to January.
I know it annoys the employees tho lmao they always seem so happy once pumpkin Spice season is over 😂

Oh yes, our famous "tablespoon of olive oil for breakfast", as an Italian it doesn't sound disgusting at all 🤣 nope, our stomach is particularly sensitive in the morning, doing the olive oil thing feels like beeing nauseous all day
I would really like to see a food theory where you find the "best" burrito toppings and the best order for them.
And here I thought DougDoug's chugging olive oil straight from the bottle was the weirdest thing, now Starbucks tops that.
This is Douglas Douglas's doing, I just know it
@@muffinking2938 I swear his next upload is gonna be titled “ I had my twitch chat design a starbucks drink”
In Malaysia (or probably SouthEast Asia) we have a popular drink called "kopi cham" which is a combination of coffee + tea. You can request it at any "kopitiam" (local-style coffee shop).
5:34 MERICA coffee
Had to pause IMMEDIATELY to say, the Whopperito was freaking DELICIOUS.
Agreed, when will this come back? I wanna try it.
Honestly, sugar cane coffee doesn't sound like that bad of an idea, especially if they marketed it in the Caribbean where sugar cane is popular to chew on
my farts are better than Matpat’s farts.
It would taste better than what they serve already
they can also make the promotional straws be in the shape and the color of the canes
Isn't that just using raw sugar to sweeten coffee basically, instead of like corn syrup or some random artificial/alternative natural sweeteners or whatev else?
If you like sugar in your coffee then yes it would be a good idea since sugar cane is just raw, unprocessed sugar. Although the thought of just chomping on a sugar cane while drinking coffee does seem interesting.
Bruh, I’m literally snacking on livers as I watch this video 😂😂
is it a coincidence that I got a Woolworths ad for half-price olive oil or did other people also get an ad about it as well.
The perfect cup of coffee for DougDoug, next to his shots of olive oil in the morning.
He can use this to replace the chocolate milk maybe...
Sometimes I'm embarrassed to be a socially awkward weirdo, every once in a while feeling left out or like I'm missing out, but I am glad at times like these to not be obsessed with trends, and thankfully, there's usually a counterculture to trends anyways. I also remember when avocados were a huge deal, and it was weird because I really like avocado; eventually what the news or *what's in* pushes gets a bit too clustered and confusing. Anyway, I'm glad I'm subscribed to Food Theory. Thanks, everybody!
My farts are better than Matpat’s farts 💨 💨
I'm also socially awkward but I love coffee! 😅 But I think I'll pass on olive oil coffee lmao

@@PhlegmaticAbsentee ur just botphobic

Dude the oleato sweet cream cold foam on an iced shaken espresso is amazing and so good. I have IBS and my sensitive stomach doesn’t get upset at it
okay but imagine it without the oil🤩😋😋😋😋 so good
Love the replacement diet shake video idea
Who thought an olive oil coffee would ever be even kind of a good idea? Are they trying to cater to Doug Doug?
Doug Doug definitely has the CEO of Starbucks in his basement, and is getting hom to command his coffee army to make olive oil based snacks for Doug's personal consumption.
Please do an episode on how sustainable is a Ramen diet for college students.
My farts are better than Matpat’s farts.

Just use Google???
Maybe I'm just really hungry right now, but I would unironically eat all three dumb ideas at the beginning of this video.
I now understand why the basil pesto sauce helps with regularity in our house
1:52
Starbucks : how bad aaaaaad I be
You ment; how b-a-a-a-a-a-d can I be?
When I heard about this drink online I was like WTF? A few days later all the Tiktok videos started rolling in about how people who tried the drink had raging diarrhea 🤣
Do a food theory on some of the weirdest foods to exist and try them to see what one is the healthiest one of them all
1:30 it reminded me of one older video...but nevermind it sounds rlly weird like who would drink it?
The McLobster roll was just a Maine local thing that was allowed out of the state. Every place in Maine has lobster rolls. And they are awesome.
YESSSSSSS, so goooood! ❤
Doug Doug's new favorite coffee?
Yep
Can you do an episode on kraft dinner? I'm Canadian, we just call to KD, but I love the stuff. Would like to know if there is lore there and why it's so addictive
This reminded me of adding a tablespoon of butter is supposed topop the flavor
"There are dumb ideas but then there are the DUM ideas"
Love how serious Mat sounded when he said this, the man was on point
