Pepsi Mont Blanc

I haven't blogged about unique Japanese food items for a while, probably because I haven't been to the grocery store recently. Last night I found one of the few remaining bottles of Pepsi Mont Blanc at my usual store, so I had to try it.

Named after the French dessert, Mont Blanc, this version of Pepsi is flavored with chestnuts. On the net, Pepsi Mont Blanc seemed to be getting some fairly positive comments, so I wasn't nervous taking my first sip as with the others. And yes, it wasn't bad, in fact I kinda liked it as did my wife and mother-in-law. If you want to create your own, you can probably buy some Pepsi and add a few drops of chestnut extract... that's all there is to the flavor. You might think of it as the French equivalent to a Dr. Pepper ;-)

You won't be finding Pepsi Mont Blanc at Angelina, but if you're there you'll probably be drinking the hot chocolat with your Mont Blanc. However, if you do happen to come across a spare bottle, make sure you make it into an ice-cream float.
