    1. The popular Aussie coffee has been an Australian staple for decades now, and everyone's going a bit nuts – positive or otherwise – about Starbucks' latest revolutionary trend.

    So America is in a flap about the flat white. The really big deal is that Starbucks has found a new style of coffee to fuck up.

    Why is the internet going batshit crazy over a flat white? Please tell me someone took it as a racist slight.

    17. And Time magazine – THE TIME MAGAZINE – did a nice little write-up.

    But at the end of the day, this Australian has the question we need answered.

    Greg @nomnerd

    If Starbucks doesn't carry a drink that's already been in some #coffee shops for years does that mean it really doesn't exist? #FlatWhite
