Like the peach flavored frappe which is also available at Family Mart stores at the moment, this soda frappe represents great value for money in my opinion -- particularly when you compare it to the likes of a Starbucks frappuccino which costs more than double. If you're looking for a reasonably priced frozen drink fix, I would definitely recommend scoping out your nearest convenience stores. It's a fun frappe, too. The soda flavor is refreshing and feels summery, and it actually comes topped with popping candy pieces to emulate that "fizzy" feel. I thought that was a clever way to show some attention to detail!

Personally I was more a fan of the Famima peach frappe than I was this one, but I think that's because I'm more of a fan of peach than soda flavors. Other than that though, this is a great, reasonably priced option if you're after a refreshing, frozen drink. Obviously, the fact that it's a limited-time only release is a bit of a bummer if you find yourself really enjoying it, so that's one downside! If it does sound good to you, be sure to pop into your nearest Family Mart store ASAP to see if it's available. Happy drinking!
