Mayonnaise Ice Cream Is A Real Thing And People Actually Like It

I don’t know about you guys, but mayonnaise is a pretty weird thing.

Put a little of it, on say burgers or cheese fries, and it’s the dope-ass shit that makes you praise the lords.

But think about licking a spoon, even something small like a teaspoon, of mayonnaise?

Ew, da hell you thinking, bro?

Then again, there’s always that one guy who worships mayonnaise. Normal people think licking mayonnaise is blasphemous.

But that one guy. It’s almost as if mayonnaise isn’t a condiment. No, no. Mayonnaise IS the food.

Yep. All mayonnaise. Image: Tumblr

It’s that kind of person that will drink mayonnaise straight from the bottle.

Let’s call that one guy Jacky.

And for you… Jacky…

We all know how people feel about this.

On the bright side, this is Japanese mayonnaise. Which probably makes it a little better. Probably.

The ice cream is called the Calorie Monster Cherio Creamy Mayonnaise Flavour (each bar is 307 calories just in case you’re planning to get it but are on a diet).

It features a white-chocolate centre surrounded by mayonnaise-flavoured ice cream, then surrounded by a shell of white chocolate and cookie crumbs.

SoraNews24 Tried It

As with anything crazy from Japan, you’d look to the crazy people at SoraNews24. Each bar is 140-yen (~S$1.79).

And it was…

Surprisingly Not Bad

Much of the taste is still white chocolate, so apparently you can’t even taste the mayonnaise if you eat it together.

Because of the white chocolate, it doesn’t deliver in the crazy weird factor.

But of course, that’s not really a good thing.

You wouldn’t find anyone who eats steak to say “wow, this doesn’t taste like steak at all! It wasn’t that bad!”

So it makes sense that “wow, this mayonnaise ice cream doesn’t taste bad because it doesn’t taste like mayonnaise at all!” is almost bullshit.

Previous Japanese netizen comments (translated by SoraNews24) are as follows:

“If you eat it with the white chocolate, it’s not so bad. But when I tried eating just the ice cream part, all I could taste was mayonnaise, and it stayed in my mouth as an aftertaste.”

“I tried the mayonnaise ice cream yesterday and it was delicious!”

“It only tastes a bit like mayonnaise and mostly like white chocolate, so as a white chocolate ice cream it’s pretty good.”

“It doesn’t taste sour at all. It’s sweet from start to finish!”

Here’s the thing. When I said the Japanese mayonnaise probably isn’t that bad, there’s reason. Japanese mayo has a thicker consistency and less sourness, and generally most people agree Japanese mayo is better.

So What If… Western Mayonnaise…?

Did and done before.

But this one isn’t quite as surprising from the Twitter comments.

But if you think about it, mayo = eggs yolks + fat. Ice cream = egg yolks + fat + sugar.

Maybe it shouldn’t be that bad.

Maybe.
