As of a few months ago, Starbucks made the executive decision to discontinue their delicious, scrumptious, show-stopping, amazing, yummy, tasty treat... their Cinnamon Dolce Latte. You can imagine my despair when I heard this, considering I spent most of my money on this single drink that was sometimes my only source of serotonin for the day.

"Starbucks is a waste of money," said my father as I pulled out the driveway. Neigh, I say to that. Not when it brings me so much joy. As I write this description, my roommate commented on the tears forming in my eyes. The glossiness is honestly unsettling for both me and my roommate, and it is making it difficult to write this. I was awakened to the insignificance of my issue when I went to make this petition and they asked if I was writing about racial injustice or a health problem. Nonetheless, I feel very strongly about this, as I know many do as well, and deem this issue with very high importance. 

When hearing about this discontinuation, I thought it was temporary, as I was only aware of the discontinuation of the sugar-free Cinnamon Dolce, rather than the regular as well. The other day, I emailed Starbucks and received a response in record time. Kudos to you, Starbucks customer service. However, I was told ye old Cinnamon Dolce was NOT making rounds back to my mouth. I dreamt of that sweet sugary cinnamon taste and spent a good 10 minutes looking for copy-cat recipes. Alas, I knew that nothing would taste the same and I would not have the same experience I know and love. 

I am writing this petition to the Starbucks Corporation to ask you, on behalf of the general public (those who sign this petition) and all Starbucks and Cinnamon Dolce lovers who may not stumble upon this petition, to please consider adding such a classic fan-favorite drink back to your menu, so I can drop more money than I already do and make my bank account shed a few tears.
