Daily Stormer The Most Censored Publication in History
American companies are, you know, struggling a bit to appeal to the Chinese.
China is the biggest, richest market in the world, by a lot, and they’re really not into American garbage anymore.
At least Starbucks is getting creative.

Starbucks has made a surprising offer for its customers in China to mark the Lunar New Year, launching a coffee beverage flavored with pork.
The new product, dubbed ‘Nian Feng Savory Latte,’ which roughly translates as ‘Abundant Year Savory Latte,’ will be limited to the Chinese year of the dragon, which kicked off on February 10.
According to the product page on the Starbucks China delivery app, the unusual beverage combines traditional latte ingredients – espresso and steamed milk – with Dongpo braised pork flavor sauce and pork breast meat for garnish. It is priced at 68 yuan ($9.45) and is described as having an “interesting” flavor.
Sure as heck sounds interesting.
“The special New Year’s flavor coffee is well received by customers, and some customers already come to the stores to specifically inquire about the Nian Feng Savory Latte drink,” Jiupai News reported, citing Starbucks China representatives. According to descriptions posted on Chinese social media platform Weibo by the Shanghai Starbucks Reserve Roastery, the drink brings “traditional New Year customs into coffee” and creates “unexpected savory and sweet flavors.”
“Eating meat means prosperity in the coming year,” a post by the roastery reads.
The unconventional offering has garnered much attention and sparked heated discussions on social media, with many netizens speculating on the drink’s taste and purpose. Some expressed curiosity and said it looks “festive,” while others remarked on the high price of the beverage and lightly chided Starbucks for joining the ranks of brands that market “weird flavors” to boost profits.
I’m just gonna be honest with you: I’d drink pig-flavored coffee every day, if that was an option. I’d wake up every morning and pay $10 for it.
This sounds like something out of my most glorious dreams.
