Family Mart has a collaboration at the moment featuring a variety of Black Thunder themed products, and this ice cream cup also collaborates with Taberu Ranch for a delicious and satisfying sweet treat. It includes a milky vanilla ice cream, chocolate ice cream, and Black Thunder chunks that give the product some great texture. It presents quite nicely from a visual standpoint! I feel like the price wasn't bad either -- it's 268 yen including tax, which didn't seem too high -- especially for collaboration products which typically are a bit expensive.

Probably because they're on top of ice cream, the Black Thunder chunks aren't as crispy as you'd expect -- they actually have a fairly soft consistency to them. If you're expecting that trademark crispy nature that Black Thunder are known for, you might find this product a little disappointing. I actually didn't mind it, though -- it was still delicious -- and I would happily buy this product again if it was still available and I was craving it on my next Family Mart visit. Keep an eye out for it if it sounds good to you, as it's only meant to be around for a limited time!
