Starbucks announced it will discontinue its Oleato line of olive oil-infused drinks in the U.S. starting in early November as part of a strategy to simplify its menu under new CEO Brian Niccol. The Oleato beverages, inspired by former CEO Howard Schultz's vision, faced mixed reviews and lackluster sales.

The drinks will still be available in select international locations, including Italy, Japan, and China.
