Intended Flavor: Royal Milk Tea mousse on a plain stick Review Date: March 19, 2005 Oh man. Ohhh man. Somehow, Glico is batting zero for two in Mousse flavors so far. Just when I think they can't do wrong, they screw up "extra-thick frosting." The frosting texture isn't bad and it sure looks appetizing. Apparently Royal Milk Tea is a canned drink in Japan, but I can't imagine that it tastes like... this. What's so wrong? It smells and tastes like soap. When I tasted it I thought I had gone suddenly and violently mad. Soap. Fortunately, two volunteer sniffers (they refused a taste) confirmed that it smells either like "bad soap" or "air freshener." This box isn't expired and hasn't been tampered with. Glico went and made soap-flavored Pocky, with just the faintest hint of spice that might just have come from tea. Needless to say, this flavor is long since discontinued, and isn't in the slightest way worth tracking down.
