Starbucks across America are running out of a key ingredient — and customers are freaking out

20 Jul 2016

Starbucks across the country are running out of coconut milk, thanks to the runaway success of two new beverages.

On July 12, Starbucks launched the iced coconut milk mocha macchiato, its first-ever beverage with a coconut milk base.

The chain debuted the limited-time offering to highlight its coconut milk, which the company launched in 2015. Customers had already been utilizing the non-dairy option this summer to create “secret menu” beverages, such as the hugely-popular pink drink.

Now, it seems that coconut milk may have become a little too popular at the coffee chain.

“Are you out of coconut milk, too?” Reddit user barista 1738 asked in the Starbucks subreddit on Tuesday. “We have been out of coconut milk for the past few days and people are pissssed.”

Looking at social media reveals that the barista is far from alone.

Starbucks’ Twitter has been flooded with complaints of locations lacking in coconut milk.
