Over the years, Japan has been known for its unique and sometimes outlandish food trends. From cooking miniature meals in tiny kitchens to creating hyper-realistic food, the country has never shied away from experimenting with their cuisine. However, their latest viral drink may take the cake. That's right, I'm talking about drinkable mayonnaise.
Now, before you cringe and dismiss this as another strange food fad, let me tell you that Japan takes their mayonnaise very seriously. Kewpie mayonnaise, in particular, has a cult following not just in Japan, but worldwide. It's a popular condiment that's used in a variety of dishes, from sushi to pizza. So, when convenience store Lawson introduced their own version of a mayo-style drink, it was met with a mix of excitement and hesitation.
The drink, which is still in the testing phase, is a thick, white beverage that is said to taste like mayonnaise. While some people are intrigued by the idea and can't wait to try it, others are feeling a bit squeamish about drinking their beloved condiment. One buyer even went as far as calling it an "abomination." And it's not just the taste that's getting mixed reviews. Some are questioning why anyone would want to drink mayonnaise in the first place.
One disappointed buyer wrote, "Absolutely awful! Avoid purchasing! No mayo lover will love this! Why did they sell this!" Another person shared their experience of dumping the drink down the drain, unable to stomach the taste. This new drink has definitely left a bad taste in some people's mouths.
But this isn't the first time that a bizarre mayonnaise-flavoured food has hit the market. In the UK, mayo ice cream was released a few years ago, and the reactions were similar. While some found it surprisingly "creamy and rich," others couldn't get over the fact that it tasted like mayonnaise.
So, what's the deal with this drink and why are people so divided about it? Well, if we break it down, mayonnaise is made up of oil, egg yolks, and lemon juice or vinegar. Individually, these ingredients may not be too strange, but when combined and turned into a drink, it just doesn't sit right with some people.
In the end, it's still unclear whether this viral drink will stick around or fade away like some of Japan's past food fads. But one thing's for sure, it has definitely sparked a lot of discussion and debate among food lovers. Whether you're a fan or not, one thing is certain - drinkable mayonnaise is definitely not for the faint of heart.
