PEPSI AZUKI

In case you are wondering , what is azuki ? It's a red bean from Japan. It's really sweet in taste, and Japanese people use it many desserts.  Smelling the drink and you will notice that it appears to have the smell of vomit , im serious. Drinking it though had a jasmine like flavor , then the red bean kicks in afterwards. Not sure how you people feel about drinking beans in your soda , the smell is pretty weird but the taste isn't so bad . This is far the strangest flavor Pepsi has ever created .

 PANCAKE DRINK

Pancake drink from Japan. It really does taste like pancakes. The batter, the syrup, even the butter. However the down side to this drink is that its extremely sweet . You will be making all kinds of faces when you taste this bizarre drink. If you are diabetic I would stay away from this, lol. Kind of looks like some kind of coffee at first , and its not really thick , its kind of watery, but either way it tastes good . Let's be grateful there are no big chunks of pancake in there.

 PEPSI BAOBAB

This product is strange itself when it has nothing to do with Japan. Why would Pepsi make a product based on Africa when it is being sold in Japan ? Either way , Pepsi has come out with "Baobab" flavor. What is baobab ? It's a tree native to Africa and it produces fruit in which this drink was made from.  Opening the bottle, the first I noticed is the smell of grapefruit and its really strong. The taste is exactly the flavor of orange soda. Had no idea baobab tasted like a citrus, no wonder all the wild animals in Africa fight over the fruit , it tastes really good.

 ROSE FLAVORED GUM

Rose flavored chewing gum ! What is so strange about this piece of gum ? Believe it or not, after chewing the gum for an hour, will make you smell like a rose.  As you sweat , your glands will release the scent from this gum. Does it work ? Not sure, after chewing the gum I went outside and did some yard work. An hour later I asked my grandma to sniff me and she said I smelled "different" . She stated that I did not smell like sweat at all, but some other kind of odor. She said it wasn't foul or anything, so I suppose it does work , not sure. The gum does not taste like a rose at all, its the same as American gum of mint / menthol flavor.

Every Burger
EVERY BURGER

Check out these miniature hamburgers. They are extremely small and they are the exact size of a quarter. They are too cute to eat . I thought eating these would taste like hamburgers but in fact they taste more like cookies. Sesame cookies to be exact. You can take out the buns and the cheese and eat them individually . Nothing too weird about this snack, not sure why make a hamburger and give it the flavor of something else. Either way these are popular in Japan among adults and kids :)

Japanese Square Watermelon
 SQUARE WATERMELON

Watermelon in Japan usually cost between $15.00 to 25.00 dollars....however this one costs $199.00 . Why you may ask ? Because it's square and was imported all the way from Japan to Texas, crazy huh ? There is nothing different about the flavor, it tastes the same as any watermelon out there. There is a special reason as to why Japanese farmers grow them in square shapes and the answer is pretty simple "space".  Putting a square watermelon inside the frig reduces space , and you can put them in any of the levels in the frig, unlike the round shape you can only put them in the way bottom part. You can even stack other things on top of the square watermelon, pretty genius eh ? Square watermelons make awesome gifts to people , however you would have to LOVE them alot since prices for square watermelons range from $100.00 and up !

Tuna Mayonnaise Doritos
 DORITOS TUNA & MAYO

Who would of thought of combining Doritos with tuna and mayonnaise ? I have seen people eat a tuna sandwich and put Doritos in between the bread and crush it and eat it, so I suppose this was a good idea ? Absolutely not !! Once the bag was opened it reeked the smell of fish . However it really does taste like mayonnaise and in the back of the bag it suggests to dip the chips in mayonnaise and eat it like that . The mayonnaise was too much for me.
