I assume 67 yuan is the price of the Starbucks pork latte, and not just some random observation a la “I could buy an entire pumpkin pie and two latte’s for $25!”

Why don’t Starbucks simply sell Bovril? It at least be an authentic meaty drink than whatever that food engineer fever dream is.

Missing context from the CNN article that explains the quote in BB’s post:
The drink is priced at 68 yuan ($9.45), according to the app.
If that person wasn’t fibbing, a plate of braised pork and two other-chain lattes for $9 sounds like an amazing deal though.
Shouldn’t it be dragon flavoured to celebrate the current Lunar New Year.

If it was bacon, maybe.
And arguably many of Starbuck’s multisyllabic offerings are not coffee.

I guess Komodo dragon meat is too expensive? They could’ve used iguana, maybe?
I patiently await the sumptuously flavored latte of 2032, the Year of the Rat.

Oh, I didn’t know the name was “Mettbrötchen”. Around here, we just call that “trichinosis surprise”.

I would have thought Dunkin would be the first chain to do pig coffee.
