In Oz and NZ, they have a variant of the latte, called a Flat White (basically it's stronger; less foam), and it's pretty much impossible to get it without having some art drawn in (in NZ it's always a fern; Oz, usually a heart, but trees and animals feature a lot too) - even as takeout. Certainly in NZ it's the staple coffee drink, and everywhere serves it and everyone drinks it. Flat whites have crept into the UK over the last year or two (Starbucks and Costa headline them) but they are done in the traditional English manner (ie finding the key features and completely ignoring them). So you can only get them in the smallest cups (no takeout), at inflated prices, and feature a splodge that maybe -- just maybe -- you'd call art if your two year old drew it and you were desperate to be kind.

Naturally they haven't really caught on.
