When exactly did Starbucks introduce soymilk??

Question

I couldn't get an exact date on it. I have a vague source that tells me it's before 2003, but I can't be sure. Does anyone remember? Also, in what way has Starbucks' introduction of soymilk on their menu helped the soy industry??

Answer 1

Starbucks has always offered soy milk if the customer asked, it was not listed on the menu till recent years.

Answer 2

I just read something about SOY

Its produces way too much mucus in the body so use sparingly.
The Japanese use Soy in its natural state, they eat the raw pods.
