Taste Test – Treats International (Italy)

Our new subscription box from Treats International was from Italy this month. Alex gave the snacks an average rating of 6.3 out of 10, while I scored them a 6.1 out of 10 score. These snack boxes from Treats International are running lower scores than other snack boxes we have tried. The quality of the snack options has been disappointing.

Taste Test – Bokksu Market Subscription Box

Bokksu Market is an online Asian grocery store that also sells a subscription box of Asian products. We tried a box for October 2022. The box contained a variety of items but mostly ramen of different types some in premade bowls and some just in packaging. We found the variety of different ramen very good and much superior to the typical American ramen you get in the supermarket. The box also contained two cans of Thai soup and a couple of candy/ sweet items.
