I love dumb novelty snacks, so I bought the new Pepsi Azuki on the day it was released. It’s yet another flavour found only in Japan that has been hyped up on otaku blogs for quite some time. It sat for weeks in my fridge when I remembered that I hate soda and I’m not too fond of azuki either.
Eventually, something had to give. Got the lid off, sniffed the mixture like a wine connoisseur. It smelled like a mixture of medicine, candy and almost completely unlike beans. The taste itself was almost imperceptibly different from regular Pepsi, although you shouldn’t take my word for that since I seldom drink it unless it’s laced with vodka. I’m guessing here.
Next up was the new Ginger Ale Kit-Kat. The wafers are covered in ginger ale-flavoured white chocolate, with a bit of a fizz to it. Shockingly, it tastes exactly how I imagined it should taste like (unlike the recent Vegetable Kit-Kat). And you can’t really say much fairer than that.
