Summers in Japan and chocolate mint flavored goodies go hand in hand, and this McDonalds Cookie & Chocolate Mint Frappé is a delicious treat to try. The first thing I really liked about it, before even tasting it, was the fact that it was under 500 yen. Compare that to a Starbucks frappuccino which runs around the 700 yen(ish) mark, and you'll see it's quite the saving! Flavor wise, it was fab as well. I love the combo of chocolate and mint, since it feels fresh yet indulgent, and the whipped cream and the cookie pieces on top added a bit extra in terms of both taste and texture. I would happily recommend this to any chocolate mint fans out there like myself! :)

The biggest downside about this product to me is that it's a limited time only thing! As a big chocolate mint fan, I definitely wish the presence of this flavor wasn't just a summertime occurrence. I think there might also be an issue with the price for some. Even though it's cheaper than a Starbucks drink, it's still fairly expensive to be forking out almost 500 yen on a drink. Still, it was thoroughly delicious, and the fact I can only get it for a limited time adds to the appeal. Keep an eye out for it at your nearest McDonalds store if it sounds like a must-try item to you.
