Do you love mayonnaise a lot? So much so that you cover everything with the delicious spread?
Should that be the case, you may also want to drink the condiment.
Why not? After all, it exists in Japan.
Nomu mayo, or drinkable mayonnaise, was introduced in November by the Japanese convenience shop giant Lawson. It comes in a stylish, upscale cup with an illustration of a squeeze bottle. According to Sora News24, Lawson characterizes the drinkable mayo as the chilled beverage that mayo enthusiasts have long been anticipating, with a market price of 198 ($1.30) for 200ml.
However, remember that the firm explicitly states on NDTV that Nomu mayo is a mayonnaise-style beverage rather than mayonnaise.
One X user who sampled the creamy beverage said that it contains milk, dairy products, and mayonnaise seasoning.
According to The Independent, the convenience store is currently testing the drink for sales to gauge consumer reaction.
It should not be mistaken for ordinary mayonnaise because it is labeled as a mayonnaise-style beverage. In addition to typical Japanese dishes like sushi and onigiri, or rice balls, mayo is frequently used in sandwiches and pizzas in Japan.
Therefore, for individuals who are interested enough to try it, the test drink may be a hit or a miss.
The concept may not be as successful as it may be. According to social media evaluations thus far, it tastes awful.
Drinkable mayonnaise? It’s incredibly awful! Stay away at all costs! This would not appeal to a true mayo fan! Why on earth did they create this? “OnX,” one user said.
Under Unseen Japan’s tweet, one X user replied, “I literally said Don’t Do That out loud.” Another said, “I love mayonnaise, but I draw the line at drinking it,” and another said, “I would.”
I just tried it, and it’s terrible, as you might think, commented one Reddit member who had tried the drink. Salty, mayo-y, liquid mayo, or perhaps a little dilly? Regarding the last one, I’m not sure, but I couldn’t take more than one sip.
I tried it myself, so you don’t have to, said another local X user. poured it into the sink.
Mayonnaise is fine with me, but this is going too far. Another person commented that inventions are not always born out of necessity.
Despite my embarrassingly deep passion for Japanese mayo Another person posted this on Reddit, and the thought of it made me gag.
