Starbucks is phasing out something by the end of June.
No, it's not your favorite pick me up, but bugs.

They use them in some of their food and drink products.
The cochineal bugs are used as food coloring in some of Starbuck's frappuccinos, smoothies, and cakes.
Starbucks says they're making the move in response to customer requests and numerous petitions.
