TikTok is divided over Starbucks' new olive oil-infused coffee. Some say it looks like an 'oil spill on your iced coffee,' others say it's tasty.

• The new olive-oil infused drink at Starbucks got mixed reviews from customers on TikTok.
• Some people said they liked the coffee and thought it tasted unique.

The new olive oil-infused drinks at Starbucks got mixed reviews from customers on TikTok: Some people called it smooth and tasty, while others likened it to an oil spill in a coffee cup and spat their drinks out mid-sip.

Starbucks' Oleato line consists of a variety of olive oil-infused beverages. Former Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz called the line a "game changer" for Starbucks in his last earnings call, saying that it would be "transformative."

But some reviewers on Tiktok beg to differ.

A person named Bananashrooms on Tiktok posted a video of her coffee, describing it as an "oil spill on your ice coffee," adding that the oil was "ooey-gooey."

TikToker Samyra was more candid about her reaction to the drink, gagging as she took a sip of the olive-oil-infused cold foam. She then spit it out into a paper towel.

"Ew!" she said after she wiped her mouth. "That's so nasty."

Samyra's Tiktok has been viewed over 53,000 times as of press time.

Separately, a person who claimed to be a Starbucks barista said in a viral Reddit post that half of her barista team tried the drink in March and that a few people ended up "needing to use the restroom."

Insider could not independently verify the identity of the Redditor, nor is there substantial evidence to support the Reddit user's claim that the coffee chain's olive oil-infused drinks cause diarrhea.

Other TikTokers did seem to like the smoothness of the olive oil in their coffee.

A TikToker with the username boksoongahs said that she liked the Oleato Ice-Shaken Espresso and that it was "really unique."

She described the olive oil flavor as a spice that has a "kick in the back of your throat," and likened it to the sensation one gets after eating "red pepper flakes."

The Oleato line was first introduced in Italy in February and was later rolled out to customers in the US on March 23.

Representatives for Starbucks did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment sent outside of regular business hours.
